Why would it? One bad game doesn't change a thing. Iowa will still be a darkhorse B1G championship contender, and Iowa State will be lucky to make the NIT.
It's shaping up that way. I'd like to be a little closer to the center of the craziness.
That's closer than it appears. Try this for crazy: beat OU, and ISU is still two games out of fourth place (if Texas beats Mizzou) but also still tied for last.
This is why these should-win/could-win losses are huge, even if they aren't the end of the world, taken individually. Had ISU got just one win vs. NU, OSU or Tech — one game out of fourth.
