Did Chris Williams really say a 1 seed is still in play?
If we beat Houston and Arizona and snag the conference tourney title absolutely is. Auburn and Bama schedules are about to get crazy and they’re gonna both take some losses.

Bill Self is 37-0 at the Phog on Monday nights

ISU whooped KU on the boards. So there was energy somewhere
KU turned it over more than ISU.

KU held under 70. Defense was fine.

ISU missed open looks. Not my words Bill Selfs Problem is bench players won't shoot the ball.

Milan back next week. If the offense is abysmal after that I will go chicken little with others
KU out rebounded us.

It's still in play. If they win the rest of the games including the conference tourney, a 1 seed is probably a lock tbh but with the way this team is playing now we should be happy to just win the next one. 1 seed shouldn't even be a thought until they get their confidence back.

If we win out, it probably is. It's that realistic or probable. Not really.

But we may get unbroken amd go on a run and stay in the top 12 and get a 3 seed and surprise some people from that position. It has happened before. Even crazier things have happened.

This is not the season we wanted, but it's the one we have and we need to go om from here.

Expectations absolutely should have been high for this team. They were preseason #5 and just a week ago were in the conversation for a 1 seed. This will absolutely go down as one of the biggest choke jobs in ISU history
Jesus Christ, let the season play out. We lost one game we absolutely shouldn't have to K State, the other two games were ones most teams would lose. Have some perspective.

Losing those games probably doesn’t hurt then. We have a blowout quad 3 home loss.

Had we beat K-State none of this would be a discussion. Losing at Phog is normal but that K-State game was awful. Hopefully we right the ship this weekend to make everyone feel better

Looking the way we did tonight after last night is a pretty bad sign. A close competitive loss would have been much better sign.

Take a deep breath and see how Saturday goes. If we lose that let's all freak out.

So we've lost 3 in a row with the last 2 looking very bad. You feel good about this team winning out?

Agree - nothing embarrassing about losing the way we did at Arizona…and getting pummeled at Phog Allen happens…but getting beat up at home by K-State is what is really brutal. And with the exception of the UCF game, we haven’t looked right for awhile.

This. I think the Kansas State game is the focal point of a lot of frustration. Maybe rightfully so. That was a horrible home loss to a coach most of us hate and broke our home court streak. It SUCKED.

But the Arizona and Kansas games were very much long shots to win. And losing them how we did in AZ and then offensively a dud tonight coupled with KSU is a shittty week. Not arguing it’s been frustrating.

But yes I agree to get some perspective. If all this happened with a full team I’d be more concerned.

We have four very winnable games ahead of us with three at home and one at UCF. I’m still confident we figure it out starting Saturday.
