Hard to not like the draw for ISU here

[EvilBetty]

beat baylor by 15+ in head to head matchups this season. +home court advantage in Big12 tourney
ISU matches up well with KU and TTech (not so much WVU) depending on potential second round.
Ku has nothing to prove as a gauranteed 1 seed in the tourney. Would rather see KU than WVU or TTU if ISU wins game 1.

really wanted to avoid Texas and OK St in round 1 or 2.

I like it a lot. We obviously match up well with them. If we lose, no big deal. If we win it's another really good win.

For whatever reason, we've done better against the teams at the top of the conference this year. It would be interesting to know how uncommon that is....I'm guessing very uncommon for any team. Therefore, I'm glad to avoid OU or OSU or WV or Tech to start the tournament.

5-2 vs ap top 10 teams
2-6 vs bottom of the big 12

It would be hilarious if ISU just keeps doing what they did to finish today and pulls it off.

When has ISU been the bad matchup for good Baylor teams?

Baylor struggles against the enigma that is Robert Jones

 

[Cyghhh]

Hard to beat a team 3 times in a season. Today’s win was huge though.

They also had no answer for Eli and the CEO. Threw them off stride completely.

No its not.

Not by the stats.

Just watched the Baylor post game press conference. Drew was complimentary toward Iowa State and he said they got embarrassed today.

You know they're gonna be pissed when they play us for the 3rd time. Not saying we don't have a good chance to win, but I do think this will be the toughest of our 3 games against them..

 

[Cyclonepride]

I do too, and honestly, in this Big 12, there's not an easy game on the card. Whoever is on top when the smoke clears is going to have to earn it like men.

Latest predictions had us as a 7 seed.

If we go to KC and beat Baylor, KU, and TX (all current top 10 teams), what is our NCAA seed?

 

[helechopper]

A 5 I’d think.

I was today years old when that happened.

If we win the Big 12, we'd be a three or 4 seed

Lunardi jumped us to a 5 after Baylor.

Bart Torvik says if we would beat those 3 teams we would be the last 3 seed.

That's a myth.

So win 2, then get a 5 seed in Des Moines?

 

[isutrevman]

That's a myth.

Agree. Baylor is soft. Their guards can go off at any time, but if they don't.... We'll have our way with them inside just like the first two games. It's only a matter of if their whole teams gets hot from 3 or not.
