A good reminder that when ISU makes 5 in a row it's special.

Indiana declined NIT

I wonder where Devries is moving this year

Indiana declined NIT

Not sure, long-term, how McCollum will pan out for Iowa. But, in retrospect, I really wish Iowa had been in the position to hire DeVries before he went to WVU.

Did Clark Kellog really say Houston could be a dangerous team? As a 2 seed? No s**t Sherlock

Good ol’ Clark.

I like that he clarified Houston “could” be dangerous. Not is - but maybe is!

 

[demoncore1031]

I was really hoping New Mexico would get in but they kinda sh*t the bed at the end of the regular season.

I'm a little worried about Kentucky because they do have talent and it's the tournament. Virginia doesn't scare me at all. I think this is probably the best I have felt about making a run in a long time. Hopefully Tamin is good to go.

 

[harimad]

yea with the logic of the committee you would have had to put us on a 1 seed if we had won the B12 Tourney

Has anyone actually looked at the metrics for Purdue instead of just ******** about how the tournament shouldn’t count?

It’s a bit hypocritical when our games against TTU and AZ apparently moved the needle a bit.

Edit: I haven’t looked at them myself. I’m just curious what their Q1 record and such was through the semis of the B10.

Texas

I actually agree with Seth Davis. Akron is gonna give Texas Tech all they can handle.

Tech is saying that Anderson will be available. We'll see if that's just an attempt to get the best seed available. If he can't go they are in big trouble.

 

[Inthesystem]

Committee loves their scrubbing. Lotta scrubbing.

I don’t even know what that means haha

He might be like Lipsey was that one year. Playing as best he can but extremely hobbled.

You mean last year?

Your hokdom is showing to not know when things happened.

If Iowa State wins and plays Kentucky, think Kentucky basketball as equivalent to what Alabama was for college football this past season.

You flatter the 2025 Alabama Football Team. / sarcasm

 

[cyclones500]

My question would be, why in the h### did we not get a 1 seed two years ago after DESTROYING Houston in the Conference Tourney and beating them 2 out of 3 times during the season?!

Different season and circumstances.
