Yeah I remember that, he was right on the money predicting your Hawkeyes in the play in game.
Hard to not like the draw for ISU here

Good point. 6 seeds never get upset in March
home teams get what, 3pts for oddsmakers? surely Ku, ISU, KSU get a point or two playing in KC for big 12 tourney right? or do odds makers not factor that in? I think the spread in WACO was only 7pts or so and that was following the news of CG being kicked off the team.

Over the past 17 years ISU is 5-12 in 1st round Big 12 Tournament games. I doubt the oddsmakers will be giving us any points for the venue on Thursday.
The spread will be closer because we moved up 6 spots in Kenpom and it is neutral instead of a road game.
For sure. The fact remains that ISU doesn’t perform better in the 1st round than expected. The Hilton South effect occurs after the 1st round where we are a combined 8-1 in Big 12 tournament games during that period. ISU is actually 6-0 in conference championship games since 1996 as well.

Sure it is, mainly because it is hard to beat a team both of the first times you meet.
I operated the scoreboard for a Globetrotters game. I know what shenanigans go on with scorekeeping in those games... As stringent as the Guinness Book of World Records people are, I am still incredulous that they included that bogus stat in their records.
I realize playing 3 games in 3 days is pretty wearing but at what other time of the season do teams get to play on Saturday and not again until Thursday or even Friday?
I think the wear and tear of the conference tournament is real but any affect on the NCAA tournament is often overblown given the four or five days of rest that follow the conference tourney.

Isu has also won the big 12 tourney 4 of the past 8 years. 14, 15, 17, 19.
Middle of the pack all time in win %. 5th out of current teams
I'm guessing if we win the tournament we'd get up to at most a 4. We lose on Thursday and it's probably 6.
Good info, I will say it again, I am amazed at the love the B10 gets basically in all the polls, considering that everyone agrees the B12 is the better league. Really seems simple, teams like Okie State and TT are not making the tournament but teams with a worse NET in a league not rated as high are.
