Predict ISU's first-round opponent

[SCyclone]

I thought with all the threads regarding who we DON'T want to play, etc, it might be interesting to start a thread where you can predict who you think the opponent might actually be. Winner(s) get a bag of stale peanuts from Tork's Pub.

I'm going with USC.

 

[keepngoal]

Tennessee.

 

[CarlHungus]

South Dakota State

 

[Cyclonepride]

Arkansas Little Rock

 

[3rdGenStater]

Pittsburgh--the Pisces, that is...

 

[Beyerball]

Akron...because they have a 6'10 290 lb PF and a 6'10 C..

 

[NoCreativity]

Temple or Saint Bonaventure hopefully.

That dude would be sucking air trying to follow Jameel down the court.

 

[CRcyclone6]

Iona.

 

[Cy$]

6 seed vs play-in game winner between Vanderbilt and UCONN

3 seed will be Miami (FL) vs 14) Stephen F. Austin.

 

[cyfan964]

I'm guessing Iona.

 

[Cy$]

USC is projected 8 seed, Tennessee has to win the SEC tourney, and Iona a 14 seed...

 

[Cyclonepride]

I'd actually love to see us play Yale.

 

[Londo]

The toughest opponent feasibly possible, so Tom Eades

 

[Gunnerclone]

I think we get a one line bump from our conference RPI again and we end up one spot higher than everyone thinks as a 4 seed against yale or Hawaii.

 

[cyclones500]

6 seed vs play-in game winner between Vanderbilt and UCONN

3 seed will be Miami (FL) vs 14) Stephen F. Austin.

As a 6, it could be worse, I guess.

Guessing that is maybe Providence subregion?

Still thinking we will stay at 5, but losses have piled up despite so many top 50 chances.

I think we get a one line bump from our conference RPI again and we end up one spot higher than everyone thinks as a 4 seed against yale or Hawaii.

Very possible, though I think Hawaii is probably better than most 12 seeds. Very talented on the offensive end.

 

[ISUcyclones11]

Arkansas Little Rock

Please no.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Please no.

Everyone says they're good, but their schedule is no more impressive than Chattanooga.

 

[NoCreativity]

Everyone says they're good, but their schedule is no more impressive than Chattanooga.

Yeah, its not the greatest, winning at San Diego State and Tulsa is comparable to any of our road wins though. I think Monmouth has the most impressive resume of any of the lower tier conference teams who could possibly get a bid.
