The 1997 team got up to 4th.

**** I missed that. You are right.

ISU finished #3 in the 2000 Coaches poll after the NCAA Tournment concluded.

Coaches.

The AP doesn't do a poll after the tournament.

 

[DSMCy]

Vegas bettors are probably looking at Houston winning every home game this year by at least 15 points

This is just Fan Duel but I'd say the sharps are split or possibly slightly more on ISU

 

[2speedy1]

We were 3 in 99-00

6th according to this

I can't imagine trying to keep a bunch of college guys' egos in check before a game after this ranking came out. Thankfully TJ is at the helm and demands the same effort for each game.

He's just got to show them where UH is. "Guys, they think we're not as good as them. What are we going to do about it?"

Playing number 2 on the road should help keep the guys grounded.

Yeah I was looking at the season as 2016 being the 2015-16 season. We are talking about the same thing but calling the seasons different things.

That + TJ gives me no worry on that front (or any front)
