I don't see ISU as an NCAA tournament team at this point, but I don't see any way they only win 6 or 7 games in conference. I would peg them for a minimum of 9 wins at this point.
This team reminds me A LOT of last years team going into conference play. The Big 12 is worse this year. 8-1 at home, 3-6 on the road. Using mred's Big 12 Tournament Bracket Generator
1. Kansas (16 - 2)
2. Oklahoma State (15 - 3)
3. Baylor (13 - 5)
4. Iowa State (11 - 7)
5. Kansas State (9 - 9)
6. Oklahoma (9 - 9)
7. Texas (7 - 11)
8. West Virginia (5 - 13)
9. TCU (3 - 15)
10. Texas Tech (2 - 16)
I dabbled with the Generator four or five times — I keep coming up with a bunch of teams between 8-10 and 11-7, with extreme variance among 3rd-7th.
It seems unlikely — maybe I should trust the results ...
