I stick with my preseason predictions. The Drake game hasn't done anything to change what I expected of this team before the season or leading up to the Drake game...

[cyclonepower]

3 conference road wins I'll believe it when I see it

[Rudy Katoot]

I can see this and live with it for this year

[JJ4ISU]

11-4, 6-10, = 17-14 = no postseason (again)

Was MacDermott coming to ISU just a ploy by UNI to keep our bball program down? Is he actually getting money on the side from UNI? Will he return as their head coach when his job here is complete?

...just kidding, of course, but sometimes I wonder!

[CRAZYGREG]

So.... 3 road wins this year huh? CU, KSU and OSU? Not sure what you are thinking there. We could not beat Hawaii on the road and it took OT against a bad UNI team.

@okie st loss
@ksu loss

The rest pretty good 17-14
Might steal one for 18-13

[Drive4cy]

11-4 non-conference, 5-11 in Big 12 play.

If Drake was able to completely take away Brackins and force us into some tough outside looks all night what's going to happen when we play teams with better talent? Last night we got exposed IMO. I'm still encouraged that next year with the additions and substractions of our team we can be solid but it's not gonna happen this season.

[to2extreme]

This makes me wonder how many teams in the Big 12 are going to play a D like Drake did against us? IMO I see more teams playing man-to-man thinking they can match up against us better than Drake would have been able to, but I haven't been able to watch many of the other Big 12 teams play....

I wonder also - we haven't shown any dedication to breaking teams down and getting the shots we want.

[mj4cy]

I don't think we win another road game. Maybe at Colorado.

[ISUFan22]

I don't think we win another road game. Maybe at Colorado.

Whoa. If there's a road game we won't win, you can bet your bottom dollar it's at CU. We've had far superior teams more than once and still lost out there.

[Cyclones01]

I think @ Nebraska MIGHT be a road win... maybe that's just because I hate nebraska so much

Insert comment about Elite 8 team that lost on the road to Colorado.
