I know that was just a highlight clip from practice, but I hope they were showcasing some of the things we can expect to be featured about the team and game plans for the next season --

P&R game with Lipsey and King
More full-court/break looks
Momcilovic draining threes
Better shooting from across the roster
Gilbert replacing Kalscheur as the stopper

Did you say that about walk on Hornacek too? Or weren’t you born yet! If the kid can shoot he’ll have a chance!
Hornacek wasn’t a normal walk on. Hornacek was promised a scholarship if he walked on. He just had to wait for the next year to start. Yes I was born and yes I saw Horny play at Hilton almost every game
What’s your guys favorite accounts for all things isu basketball to follow? Insider info, rumors, stories, etc. I wanna see stats and mainly recruiting info
9/14 in the dance is actually a significant step back from getting 7/10 or 8/10 lately.
I'm not exactly complaining because I think the league has been more stacked than necessary for quite a while and doesn't get acknowledged for it unless the B12 wins the ncaa tournament.
If 5 teams actually aren't dance worthy, I am totally fine with that and hopefully we get at least 7 games against those teams on the schedule.
It looks like a step back statistically but would actually be huge. There are just as many losses to go around as wins so there are bound to be some that don't get in. Generally speaking, the new adds are more likely to be solid football programs than basketball juggernauts.
These projections are just projections but...
Anybody in the top 35 or so is a virtual lock to make the tournament.
So that gives you 6/14 to start with KU, UH, UT, TCU, BU, and TTU. It wouldn't surprise me if one or two of these teams underperforms -- these projections are hard -- and a few of them teams lower down on the list have surprising seasons and jet towards the top of the list, but just go with me.
#36 through #65 is roughly "the bubble" (though a lot more teams will make it into the tournament in the 30s and 40s than will in the 50s and 60s). Everybody else in the conference save UCF is in this range. So if you can get 3/7 of KSU, BYU, UC, ISU, OSU, and OU, then you might end up with 9/14.
It is going to be difficult but it will be possible. The Big 12 is going to need to dominate in the non-con and then have a lot of teams with records close to 0.500 in the conference rather than more stratification between the teams towards the top and towards the middle. It will be entertaining to watch.
By what metric do you think TT projected so high? 16-16 #63 Kenpom last year and worse recruiting/transfer class than ISU.
I get a real kick out of Tech's projections in football too. Basically they had a great recruiting class so they are 3rd/4th/5th (out of 14!!!) on every prognostication. I feel like ISU basketball could have the absolute #1 ranked recruiting class and even our own fans would think we should have low expectations.
