After looking at the schedule, I see us bouncing in and out of the top 25, between 19th - 25th.

I can see us at least getting some votes in the non-conference portion of our schedule but during the Big 12 part I don't think we'll be included.

We'll for sure be ranked if we go into that Duke game with only 1 loss. I wouldn'tbe surprised if we were top 25 to start big 12 play at least either...

Don't get me wrong this can still be a very good team and year and tourney very possible. Top 25? Not unless Gilstrap is equally as good at his position as Brackins at his. I mean we haven't been above .500 with McDermott so we have our work cut out and A LOT to prove before we get top 25 love.

I think we will make it all the way up to #18 immediately after HB commits to us.




I'm sorry, I had to fit a HB post in somehow.:wink:

A voice of reason. Thank you.

Umm, I'd like to see us win AT FREAKING DRAKE first. I can't believe we play them next Tuesday. Can someone answer me why ISU teams cannot seem to score more than 40 points in the Knapp center!?

I don't know if we'll get in the top 25 but it would be awesome to be ranked when we play Duke at the United Center. If we have one loss going in to there I think we're in the rankings.

this team IS athletically capable of being a top 25 team and maybe finishing the year that way. We know who's gonna show up every game (brackins), what its gonna come down to is what you get out of gilstrap, Lucca, DG, etc. each time we take the floor. some consistency out of the older guys, some stepping up by the new kids and we can definitely be in the mix come tourney time. ISU wins 20 games this year... write it down
