Houston or Arizona?

'crush' is quite a take. what does 'crush' mean to you?
15+. If it's single digits I would be stunned

Arizona's only good offensive performances against good defenses were early in the season. Well before there was much tape to scout with all their new freshman.

For the best interest for our Cyclones, in both the Big XIi, as well as the NCAA tournament, who should we be cheering for between Houston and Arizona today?

I like Houston more than Arizona.
ISU has a win over Houston.
Houston beats Arizona.
Iowa State wins at Arizona.
Arizona fall to the 2-line, ISU and Houston are 1-seeds.
Go Houston!

I think you're confusing them with Baylor football.
 
If winning the Big 12 regular season is a goal, I think we want Arizona to win. That puts Houston with three losses, which would mean we win the whole thing if we win out; we'd have the head-to-head over both Houston and Arizona even if both of them win out too (other than Arizona losing to us in this scenario).
 
If Arizona wins today and we beat Arizona ( and hopefully the rest of our games) I think the 1 seed will hold. This would get us out of Michigan's bracket, which would be good for us. Field of 68 had us projected to be with UConn, TT, and Nebraska if we maintain the 1 seed.

Houston on a scoring drought to end game again.

If ISU wins all but at ‘Zona they’d probably get the last #1 seed.

If they win out then they’re Big 12 champs and guaranteed a #1 seed.
 
This is how I feel. Finish 4-1 with the loss to either BYU or Arizona and you probably are a 1 with Houston loss today.
Tonight is pretty crucial. Well, that and at home against Tech.

Win those (and the gimmes) and a road loss to what will be at worst the #3 team in the country won’t hurt too much.

If you want the 1, you want to win tonight. But you can also lose and beat Arizona and still win. Keep in mind, Arizona does play KU right before they face us. So they’re going to have a test right before.

As long as Uconn and Illinois lose one more in the regular season, you would think we can lose one more and still grab the last #1 seed. Just to be safe, root hard for KU over Houston on Monday in Lawrence as well. I worry if Houston wins out and wins the Big 12 tournament they would jump us (if we lose one more in the regular season and one in the Big 12 tournament).

Still a lot of season left. Win tonight we are in really good position.
