I think we should probably enjoy the ranking while we can. I think it is going to be tough sledding once conference season starts in a couple weeks.
I don't think ISU has the offense to beat them. To win, ISU will need to go off from 3.Beat Baylor and set the tone for the rest of conference play. Actually, don't beat Baylor and still set the tone for conference play.
I'd rather us come out of that one with a bear claw necklace around our necks though.
They'll probably be number 1 this week and deservedly so. After they basically "raped" Villanova yesterday it's hard to believe they're not the best in the country again.Beat Baylor and set the tone for the rest of conference play.

Would love to hear the rationale of Mr. Like DeCock’s ranking of Illinois and San Francisco while leaving us unranked.Only one I found with quick search -- DeCock STILL isn't ranking Iowa State. Granted he's among the dwindling outlier/holdouts to this point. (Has Xavier at #17, fwiw).
Someone from Iowa State F***ed his wife?Would love to hear the rationale of Mr. Like DeCock’s ranking of Illinois and San Francisco while leaving us unranked.
My hopes for the Baylor game are not very high but if they can keep it close it really sets the tone for the rest of the season.
But last year Baylor treated us the way we treated Jackson State yesterday. They weren’t even trying.Last years group kept it close twice with Baylor. I'm thinking this year can do better. It will be tough, but Baylor isn't immune from having a bad game. They are not invincible. I saw some of their 8 point win against VCU who is by no means a power. Guys play like they did in New York and against Iowa I think they come out with a win.

I think we win 6-8 games in league. Think 7 with a tournament win or 8 without gets us in provided we do as expected and finish 30-0 non-con. That said...tough road ahead.
