Our reward is those quality wins on our resume. Will be a huge help come seeding time this March. I find it really weird fans are obsessing over a couple hundred K in NIL and forgetting that.

At least this will give the team enough time to head home for Thanksgiving. Although I guess Joshua would have preferred a Thanksgiving day game in Vegas since he’s from the area.
Well maybe the staff will let him stay another day and come back to Ames Friday. I’m sure he can afford a plane ticket.
And if we end up with bad losses on our resume after losing our best player who costs more than the payout does that still matter? I’m usually as optimistic as they come but this bites. KfU gets extra cash for their mediocre team and we get nothing but a no win situation, awesome.
They're not gonna make him fly home with the team just to turn around and fly back (if his plan is to do Thanksgiving in Vegas).
I’m not too worried about it. We banked a million dollars in NIL. Got two Q1 wins. Showed the country on national television that we are good again. Lots of positives came from this.
Except we didn't really get rewarded for that with our third round matchup. Syracuse won't be a resume booster, and on our third game in 3 days could be a resume damager.
There is no opportunity for a bad loss on our resume. A neutral court loss to Syracuse is not a bad loss.
You are reaching ti find a worst case scenario that doesn’t exist. That’s actually the definition of a Pessimistic view.
Yeah, outside the top 4, they clearly picked matchups based on times the teams played and nothing else.
His kid is on the team, so it makes sense that he's there watching.
They should of beat Houston if they made their free throws this is a dangerous 0-2 opp.
I’m looking past this tournament, not just tomorrow. Your assumption is that Tamin will be back soon and this doesn’t cost us down the road.
Syracuse will play 3 games in a row too. I’m not scared of them. We are much more likely to come out with a win then against Tennessee or Michigan or Gonzaga.
Time to put on your big boy pants and quit whining.
I don't know, Dix and Freeman looked like the same players they were at Iowa, and thats not a good thing. Hopefully we win tomorrow and one of Creighton and Syracuse can put an ok season together so they will be a quad 1 win in March.
Well then, I guess we should have just skipped the non conference season this year and kept Tamin wrapped in bubble wrap instead of going to Vegas and beating #14 St Johns and kicking the crap out of Creighton.
We are a basketball team. They play basketball. Challenging yourself against good teams is how you improve. Beating them is even better. I can’t fathom why people are so upset over the outcome of this tournament. It’s been a huge positive boost to our season.
