Buchanan revenge game in the sweet 16 book it

 

[t.m.]

Biggest downside is with Kentucky in st louis, any big “home court” is gone

 

[AllInForISU]

They probably have more talent than most other 7 seeds though

I can tell you haven’t watched them play. They will crap their pants with the ISU defense.

 

[dahliaclone]

Iowa is ******. They're either an 8/9 or 7/10 against Florida or Houston. Good luck.

 

[Die4Cy]

Oh no doubt, this isn't the Kentucky of 10 years ago.

They still get dudes though, we would need to be sharp. But I trust TJ to have our guys prepared for anyone.

Either Santa Clara or Kentucky, whoever we face only gets 36 hours to prepare which should be advantage Iowa State with how we trap and defend.

 

[CYedUp]

I am glad Iowa is not our 10 though. I feel confident about beating them, I just dont like the extra pressure of our in state rival during the madness

 

[Kaner04]

I'm not particularly afraid of Kentucky they've had plenty of struggles.

And it’s a familiar Coach

 

[CloneLawman]

Some of you guys do not watch college basketball, I don’t think Kentucky gets past Santa Clara

Santa Clara is tough. Im picking them against Kentucky.

 

[Darius Bieber]

I can tell you haven’t watched them play. They will crap their pants with the ISU defense.

You can have a lot of talent but not put it together during the season. But it only takes one game with all the talent coming together to get a win.

 

[fsanford]

99.9% Kentucky destroys them

I will take that bet

 

[UAdevil]

Would not be at all shocked to see you guys come out of this region. Michigan is vulnerable and the other contenders all have significant weaknesses.

 

[DSM4Cy]

I don’t think we could have asked for a better bracket, after years and years of getting bad draws. Go out there and take it. This is the year.

 

[Cyhig]

Agreed. But Santa Clara’s post players may give us fits. Hope Kentucky wins that game

 

[Thomasrickj]

Why? They aren’t that good

They’re not that good, but they have a lot of highly rated recruits. Hopefully Santa Clara takes them out. I still think we should be able to take out Kentucky if we get them, but might not be an easy one.

 

[Cyclones01]

So we got Florida, Houston, Illinois, Nebraska top 4 here

 

[awd4cy]

Biggest downside is with Kentucky in st louis, any big “home court” is gone

Well half the arena will be cyclones. Also Kentucky fan enthusiasm isn’t too high right now.

 

[BigLame]

I'm not convinced Kentucky gets past Santa Clara. You're afraid of them cause of their name, not resume.

The Santa Clara - J Jefferson connection would be a storyline to promote.

 

[isucy86]

And if we make the second weekend...Virginia as the 3 is manageable.

Manageable, but they have a HECK of a shot blocker that could impact Jefferson big time.

 

[Letterkenny]

I don’t like Kentucky but Virginia is very favorable. have to beat the best to be the best. Bring it on

To get to the Final 4 you're gonna have to beat at least 3 good teams. No way around it.

 

[JohnnyAl]

Why? Because of the name on the front? They aren’t scarier than any other 7 seed.

For argument sake only.....their coach was at byu, so familiar with us some
