**Unofficial Confidence Check 1/10/22: NCAA Tournament Seed**

[PSYclone22]

Just as we did a few weeks ago, let's check in on fan confidence now after the TT and OU games:

What seed do you think Iowa State men will receive for the NCAA Tournament?

And no, there is not a poll: I want to see individual responses and track each user as we do this bi-weekly until tournament time.

 

[Gunnerclone]

Standing firm with my 6.

 

[bsaltyman]

7

 

[BillBrasky4Cy]

5 or 6 seed.

 

[azhuth09]

Dropping to an 8. Not just because of the loss, but the struggles the last week on offense makes me think the scouting report is out and TJ needs to respond.

 

[JM4CY]

Soft 8.

 

[twojman]

7-10 seed.

 

[CRCySpy]

7

 

[CyPunch]

6-8 seed. League is too good for us to finish above .500 imo. I would sign up for 9-9 right now in a heartbeat. Honestly just need to find a way to win 1 out of our next 3 (@KU, Texas, @TTech).

Getting 1 on the road would be huge. We should improve, we have a bunch of guys that had zero Big 12 road experience on this squad so it should get better.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Still at 6

 

[Yellow Snow]

8 seed now.

 

[Clonefan32]

I've got us around an 8 seed. Going to be tough sledding on the road and for some reason the analytic measures don't seem to love us.

There’s a big question mark here about how the committee values the conferences. As it stands now, with the Big 12 being so much better, we don’t have any history to tell us how they will react if we (the big 12) are 30 points better than the next best conference in the metric.

I think if that is the case and you see 7-11 Big 12 teams getting in, they will use the non-con heavily to seed, which would be great for us. It’s easy for us to get lost in the conference season and forget about the non-con, but the committee doesn’t forget.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

7-10 seed.

seconded

 

[Cyinthenorth]

I'd love to be seeded anywhere, but seems like the team plays better as the overachieving underdog with no expectations. Give us a double digit seed and watch us be this years Oregon State.

 

[Farnsworth]

Soft 8.

now that's ******* impressive!

 

[Farnsworth]

High 7

To be clear,I had zero expectations for this team. Just talking about the NCAA tourney is just beyond ridiculous. No sane person thought this would happen. If we fall to NIT, I would very mildly disappointed after the start but would still think the program is ahead of schedule.
