Charlie Creme has us as one of the last four in, at a #11 seed in Des Moines playing #6 seed Ohio State. He also had the following to say about our position:
"The Cyclones, like Texas, are 7-9 in the Big 12. Unlike Texas, they don't have the resume of big wins. The loss to finish the season at Nebraska hurt, and a first-round tournament loss to Colorado would probably be the end of Iowa State's NCAA chances."
Personally, I'm with him. I know a lot of people think we're in because of the strength of the Big 12, but I think we need to beat Colorado to have a chance; ending a sub .500 conference season with two losses to mediocre conference teams doesn't bode well (even with all of the adversity we faced). With that said, I think our play in the conference tournament will put to rest any doubts about whether or not we'll get in. Let's go Twister Sisters!
