I just hope we've done enough to get a home NIT game if we lose...
Ranked 6.....sweet.
Can we update the thread title to reflect new rankings?;-)
It's all gravy tonight. Hope for the win. Could honestly get routed, but any loss won't hurt. Remember, this team can still struggle shooting and scoring. I know many have forgotten that recently with the "Is this the Best ISU Team Ever" threads of late. Haha. Just enjoy the ride.
Houston looked scary good against UT. Their guards and incredibly athletic and doubt they'll fall into a 14 point hole this time around.

The more I look at this game we are going to need a Herb Brooks Miracle like speech before the game. That's how daunting it will be to get win.
The rock fight to end all rock fights.
If Michael Nurse was still suiting up, this would definitely be a game he would not comb his hair for.
Houston's closest home game thus far this season has been 15 points, so I guess that's respect from Vegas.
We have literally nothing to lose with this game. I suspect a loss (even if close) does nothing negative to our analytics and we’re probably still top 10 in the polls assuming we handle business Saturday.
That’s got to help us in a big road game. Pressure is on Houston here.

Well, then, we might as well win it.
Turn them over, just like last time. They are gonna push it, we have to plan for it.
Cyclones 67-65. I have faith, but the win would be more surprising than a loss in this one. Need that complete game that they have been inching towards.
Gilbert on Cryer will be a key. In the Cyclone victory, Cryer was 2-9 fg, 1-6 from 3. When Gilbert is out, CJones takes over. Wear Cryer down.
