Do away with conference tournaments and have the selection committee choose auto bids based on regular season conference standings. Then, have the bubble teams/not high enough in regular season standings play in a big play-in tournament to leads into the ncaa tournament.

Nah. One thing that's fun about basketball is that in march theoretically anyone can go on a run. Like NC State last year.

Good lord, why would you want to do away with something that is fun for Iowa State and its fans? It reminds me of the time Paul Clark (who used to run an Iowa State website) said that Iowa State shouldnt' talk about Hilton Magic since we were above it.

Keshon not dressed and looks really wishful he could play. Has to be so difficult!
I watched some highlights of last year/early this year and it made my heart sink. Just seeing a couple clips of him getting to the rim last year made it clear how much he's been hampered lately and given his status as a senior, it just really makes me feel for him.

I didn’t see a report of the injury, is it a knee?

I thought someone posted about a brace yesterday?

this game doesnt mean much in the grand scheme of things

winning it doesnt improve your seed line, losing it doesnt hurt your seed.

whats more important is having a healthy gilbert/lipsey for next Friday.

Watching him yesterday was painful. He could barely move and had zero explosiveness.

Feel bad for him.
