Gotta love TJ, his attitude and demeanor are awesome. He gets Iowa State. He knows how to utilize Hilton and use the momentum of that home crowd to get victories, SP didn't harness that. TJ took us out of the SP debacle so quick.
We are one of the best basketball schools out there. Our fans care, we fill our venue and we travel like crazy to KC. Despite our strong basketball culture we do not have any final 4s. That would be nice, but I would never count on it. However, I think we should be at least on the level of Kansas State who have been to 3 Elite 8s in the last 15 years. What does KSU have that we do not? One would be great! I am confident TJ is good enough to put us in that position, but what I worry about in the NIL era is if we will have the resources to keep enough talent in the program to get us to that level.
