Last 4 games expectations?

[Halincandenza]

They will go 2-2.

 

[TheJackWePack5]

I truly think this team can go 4-0 to close out the regular season.

Now 2-2 or 3-1 is obviously more likely, but it’s not impossible.

 

[FinalFourCy]

Do whatever will get this team ready for a post season run. Not necessarily a lot of rest, but turn the knobs to dial in chemistry, solidify roles, and lock down on defense. Maybe it means playing a few new lineups or shifting some minutes around. Something to get a spark.

I am expecting 2-2, but winning out it possible. Anything less than 2-2 would be a disappointment. At this point the priority should be getting right for the B12 and NCAA tournament now that ISU is a lonnnng shot at regular season B12 title.

Despite seeming popular opinion, I think this team could really do some damage to close out the season.

It’s all about getting ready for the NCAA tournament now. Although that would ideally mean getting a better seed from winning all 4 games as weaknesses and issues get corrected, if we need to bottom out more, this is the time to do it. Maybe that means continuing to struggle some as we get the bench improved while also resting starters. Or perhaps getting more comfortable using different defenses or lineups.

I think we go 2-2. This will be a disappointment to me, but not surprised. I could see anywhere from 4-0 to 0-4 happening.

 

[SCISUFAN]

I don’t want to see another loss in Hilton. And losing @WVU would be worst loss of the year, so yeah 3-1 is expectation

Yea for me the worst loss would be WVU, but partly because I will be sitting court-side and such an outcome will probably have me going off on the refs and getting kicked out.

That game will be tough if Bolden is back for WVU.

 

[SCISUFAN]

I know. As much as they are a disaster this year...I would never count them as a out on their homecourt and for Senior night.

 

[spitfyr36]

If nothing else, that'd be amusing if it happened.

Believe it or not, there are at least 2 scenarios that gives ISU the title outright. Keep in mind, I do NOT expect this to happen.

The 'Prohm cant win championships' thread would be longer than the recruiting mega threads.

A guy can dream

 

[Chitowncy]

I think my expectation is 2-2 or 3-1. I would be very happy with 3-1 and it would match what I predicted for conference record (11-7) back in December. If I was a bookie I'd set the o/u on 2.5 and if I was a bettor I'd take the over;-)

Still a lot of fun left on this ride. There's too much talent not to. Just enjoy what we have which is a Tourney team with the ability to get hot and go on a great win streak.

 

[clone1990]

Realistically it looks like 1-3.

Expectation that Konate and Bolden return just in time for WVU and Roach returns just in time for Texas.

 

[Dingus]

Prediction: 3-1, with the L @Tx if Roach plays (which feels weird to say). I think we beat TT.

Absent a total meltdown, I don’t really care about wins and losses as we’ll get a 4-7 seed and don’t see much difference between those. I just want to see us make some improvements with PnR defense, stopping dribble penetration, and at least not get destroyed on the defensive glass. If we can do that, I still think we’re a second weekend team.

I would really appreciate it if ISU could find a way to beat Texas Tech.

IF we can improve upon those things, I agree we can go deeper then most think right now.

 

[oldman]

I think we could get them all, but would certainly be happy with 3-1. It'll depend on how many games are reffed by Tom Eades.

 

[CyBobby]

My expectation are to Win Out at home and get to 20 wins and then onto the Big Dance.....

 

[LarryISU]

I don't know how anyone can have any expectations for this team the rest of the year. Just hope for the best, they can rise up and win against any team they will face, but sadly they have shown they can lose by a few points to just about anyone.

Has to be incredibly difficult for the team to be in this situation. They know they have the talent advantage and yet they just don't play to their potential most of the time. Missing wide open shots, one after another. But they are the best group of shooters in the conference, as far as ability. In actual games, they are just "off" for some inexplicable reason.

 

[NATEizKING]

4-0

30 or bust

 

[LarryISU]

Ok, well now I think we can win a national championship!

 

[Deleted member 8507]

Roach will probably return for the ISU game, go off for 30 and hit a game winner from half court. Then be suspended after the game again.

Expectation that Konate and Bolden return just in time for WVU and Roach returns just in time for Texas.

Konate is not expected to return this season, which was reported by Jon Rothstein two days ago.
