Big 12 stretch

[qwerty]

the stretch schedule sure doesn't do Baylor any favors. That could easily be 3-3 or worse as all of those games are tough. They could fall to 5th or worse.



Houston is 4-2 at worst (hopefully one of the two is tomorrow). At Baylor could be a trap, KU last game of season . . . maybe?



Iowa State SHOULD be 4-2 at worst, hopefully 5-1 or better. UH is tough, WVU is disorganized, OU is almost OUT, @UCF could be sneaky but should take them and purple kitties can't find their litter box since Tang pulled his Hilton outrage and BYU is our revenge game



Kansas is 3-2 at worst, probably 4-1. You know they will cream purple kitties in revenge game, take out Texas for leaving the conf, and BYU will be in a Phog

It could honestly end up a three way tie at the top. Not sure how tie breakers work

I'm hopeful for Big Monday, but have a hard time seeing a win at Houston. After that, I feel very positive for a 5-0 run to end the regular season.

In the past it’s always just been totally shared title, but if ISU shares for first time I’m sure there will be some effort to invent a tie breaker that doesn’t help us.

Believe it or not our two outright titles are still second most since big 12 formed. KU has been that dominant. Almost every other team winning a title has shared it with ku.

I did a "mock finish" to the season at @mred 's site to end up with a 3 way tie at the top and the tie-breaker is what is the round robin record against each other. If that's still a tie then not sure what's next. Maybe record vs. 4th place team and then so on?

I think the Clones have a better shot to win the conference than most outsiders think. This team is humming right now.

As for the Houston game tomorrow, a lot of people aren't too confident that we'll win. I get it, but like I said the Cyclones are humming, have won on the road in conference play, and have already beat Houston in Ames.

I know the turnaround is short, but we've scouted and played them before, so prep should be easy-peasy. I can see Green throwing a few defensive surprises in there during critical situations too.

I predict we beat the Cougars and claim our rightful place at the top of the conference. We're a team of destiny.

Go Cyclones!

Metrics show a 8 pt loss. That's taking into account the season as a whole. The metrics also show that we are playing our best ball while Houston's defense had been on a "decline" the last few games. However their offense has been consistently very good over that same stretch.

It'll be tough. We can't have an average outing in any phase. But a win is not as far fetched as some may think.

Houston is a 7 point favorite. However, their record against the spread is 13-11, while Iowa State's record is 17-7.

We've got a shot. Stranger things have happened.

Correct me if I'm wrong. Iowa State never had a Big-8 Championship until the last year of its existence.
Iowa State was the first Champion of the Big-12. How weird would it be if Iowa State found the path to be the last Champion of the Big12 (as we currently know it). The only void to the best of my recollection was the Nebraska, Missouri, and Texas A&M exit.

Iowa State didn't win the conference in it's last year but won the Tournament. Beat 4th ranked Kansas.

For some reason I always remember The Phillips station that used be on the corner of Duff and Lincoln had that team signed ball on display.
