I doubt we would have made an NCAA tournament like this...
1 - Diante
2 - Scottie
3 - Uncle Jake
4 - Ejim
5 - Big Ham
Vanderbeken first off the bench at 4-5, then Godfrey, really thin at guard, though, in having a much younger Bubu as your first option after the above.
We would have won a few more games, maybe ~20 and finished in the middle of the Big XII, maybe NIT, but I doubt the NCAA was coming.
I remember that for being one of the most entertaining Iowa State teams I've ever seen. Sure, they didn't win much, but watching Diante go wild, JVB and SC go deep, and Ejim's raw energy and talent was a revelation after the snore job of the McDermott era. Maybe I am used to it now, but, it was really refreshing to see and a harbingers of things to come with Fred in having something fun and good again finally.
