Yes, correct. Notice that I said that with complete irony, some might say sarcasm. Pretty much all of that was different. Therefore, this year is not the same and won't likely be the same result.
Let’s talk Jackrabbits

- Start date
The curse of being in a family that takes BB and their teams seriously.
P.S. And I know you wouldn't have it any other way.
Yes, but TJ starts recruiting these guys in middle school. Heck, there could be SDSU commits who were recruited by TJ but haven't even enrolled yet.
To outright win. They were talking most likely to be upset based on ISUs tournament history and not much more.
I had in my mind guys that actually played for him, not simply recruited by him. There are guys all over the NCAA who we recruited. Sure, these are a little different bc they may have signed with SDSU in November before he left in March.
I would love to see the team build a comfortable lead and then let the younger guys play and get some valuable experience. rest the regular players and get ready for a deep run, or Championship game. we play in the best conference, and we should expect great things from this team. The AP believes in us as a #4, UH Coach Sampson, who will be a HOF Coach believes we can make a run for it all, the team and coaches will take us far, if not all the way.
But he’s got huge sharp teeth! He can leap! Look at the bones!!!
Not real in depth analysis here, but according to this guy we are the least likely 2 seed to be upset.

Is this analysis while showing a graphic with an outline of Ohio and calling us The Potato State? That's the amount of research we usually get more than 2 states toward either coast.
They have to pull a hot take from somewhere. We've been wearing their doubt all season. No sense in changing now. Gotta prove them wrong.

Here's a different sort of analysis:
Statistically murky is how I would summarize it.
What's murky about the 2-15 analysis? It seems the only 2 seeds that get upset have lower defensive efficiency, and nobody this year meets that criteria. I would assume ISU is at or near the top of Bart Torvik defensive efficiency.
That was a huge 3! From distance with arc!
Looking into them a bit more, and I'm zeroed in on Zeke Mayo. He basically doesnt leave the court for them, plays 5 more minutes per game that even Keshon/Tamin do. He's obviously a good scorer, but man I feel pretty good that our guards can potentially have a field day there. They only played two high major games, K-State and UCF (w/o CJ Walker). In those games Mayo turned the ball over 13 times, 5 vs K-State and 8 vs UCF. Over the last two seasons, he's had 4+ TOs in 25 games (38% of games). 3+ TOs in 41 games (62% of games). And that's not facing our defence, Tamin/Keshon can likely turn him over 5+ times.
