Injuries - the concern…
- Thread starter GrayerNot Mayor
- Start date
Slight disagreement. Injuries are part of the game and change expectations. If we make the sweet 16 and lose, I'd still consider it a success. We don't have a ton of sweet 16s in our history, despite making them a lot recently.
Unfortunately, groin injuries take a lot of time to heal. Tamin may make it back if we does not practice at all before the first ncaa game & stays in the whirlpool. Keshon is a bigger concern. I think you have to sit him until the 2nd week.
I don't see how the committee can keep ISÙ a 3 seed. They will drop in rankings at least 2 or 3 spots (may even switch places with BYU at 17). They are 6-4 in last 10, plus the injuries.
Love this team. Hopefully they can pull off a couple miracles.

Along with Bracket Matrix, we’re 9th in the NET rankings. If they went strictly by that we’d be the top 3 seed.
You never know until Sunday, but it seems like they’d have to do a lot of gymnastics to drop us to a 4.
People will point to last year, but a 1 seed was a stretch even if they factored in the Houston win.
The committee does not emphasize last 10 more than first 10. That had long been done away with.
2 mins left in the game. he shot 2 free throws after injury and one trip back down the floor
This will be the ISU squad that gets to the Final 4! They will find a way. Just need an awesome draw and madness to get there.
They’re tough. Go Cyclones!

I agree with that douche. But I don’t need him dancing on our grave when the team he loves and follows with all his heart sucks and is an overall embarrassment to the state of Iowa.
Maybe not combined, but Loren Meyer breaking his tailbone was a big deal his junior year. Naz having to shut it down during Prohm's first year hurt that team.
Which I think is a philosophical mistake. The whole point of seeding is to seed by "best" and if you are struggling down the stretch you are less "best".
Yeah he is totally setting the bar high so he can talk about how much ISU failed. Even a team like Auburn only has a 60% chance to make the E8 (per the ESPN BPI). That's basically a coin flip for a top 5 team.
The committee last year told us that not only is the final stretch not the most important, but the non-con is so much more important than the conference season that they counted it twice. Our noncon was an inch shy of flawless.
disagree, if early year games mean less schedule cupcakes since beating good teams will not help you. Get big leads so you can rest guys and stay healthy til conference season.
I think it was his collarbone. He's lucky to be alive after getting hit by a train.
We’re gonna be the 3 in Milwaukee. Key is getting actually healthy for tourney. I think Lipsey will play, Gilbert not entirely sure.
