Must .. not... hype... self.. up...

One way of looking at that would be Barttorvik's game score which was mentioned a bit earlier. There have been 5 game scores of 100 this season, and Iowa State actually has 2 of them (Saturday's game and the Grambling State game).So can anyone compare the performance on Saturday to the rest of the games played this year by every team? I don’t know if there is a single "performance" metric per game like that. I would guess that had to be one of the best performances by any team this year. Hell of a way to head into the tournament.

The others are...
Here's a link to all 5 and you can play with the filters to look at other high games.
- Arizona over Colorado (97-50)
- Houston over Louisiana-Monroe (84-31)
- Purdue over Samford (98-45)
So, Iowa State's two 100 rated games are both against tourney teams . . . . . I like that trend.One way of looking at that would be Barttorvik's game score which was mentioned a bit earlier.

I really like your modified “Litany Against Fear”. Frank Herbert was an incredible writer and philosopher. Sorry to be off topic.I must not hype.
Hype is the mind-killer.
Hype is the little death that brings inflated expectations.
I will face the hype.
I will allow it to pass over me and through me.
When the hype has passed I will turn a critical eye to see its path.
There may be nothing. Only good games remain.
Not really but soldiering on here.
Kicking Houston's teeth in made me feel slightly better.

I believe that we have a 50% chance of winning it all. We either do or we don't. I'm going with the better of the two 50s.
Doing some compound probability math, if we win tomorrow and the best remaining opponents all move forward, those percentages will go to
Doing some compound probability math, if we win tomorrow and the best remaining opponents all move forward, those percentages will go to
Elite 8 - 63.7%
Final 4 - 25.1%
Championship - 13.7%
Winner - 6.9%
If any big upsets happen today, there will be small adjustments to the latter rows in our table
Essentially a 63.7% likelihood of beating ILL
Followed by a 39.4% likelihood of beating UCONN
