    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    I see that in the 70 thing they have us and Iowa in the same group. I've got to find a Hawkeye thread and see how many of their heads are exploding. I just wish one more time the rumor would come out that the Big 10 was dropping their AAU requirement so they could take Iowa State. Watching...

    Way Too Early Top 25 roundup: Cyclones a consensus top 5 pick

    If you look at both and combine the Men's and the Women's way too early rankings it doesn't take much to notice that Iowa State men's and women's combined average ranking is second in the nation only to Uconn's two teams. Even a math graduate from the school out east could figure it out. The ISU...

    Worst city in Iowa?

    I lived in Fort Dodge for a couple years and what I remember most was how bad the coffee was. I think the water was pretty hard. Other than that it was fine.

    Omaha enters the transfer portal (confirmed)

    Maybe set up a system where schools trade players like the bigs. That would be fun to watch.

    *** Official #25 Washington State vs #4 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    It was correct. Falling to the ground with the ball is a travel. I don't think there was a foul there but others might. But rule-wise it was correct.

    I know next to nothing about basketball X's and O's but I know that if you are pinning a player next to the sideline with a double team it's a good thing.

    ***NCAA First Round: (7) Iowa State vs. (10) Maryland [Fri., 6:30 CT]***

    That. Plus when Audi gets fouled hard she just rolls away from the fouler and grins. Clark scouls and whines at the ref.

    ***NCAA First Round: (7) Iowa State vs. (10) Maryland [Fri., 6:30 CT]***

    I don't basketball coaching much but it looked like the idea was to clear out and have Emily and Audi go 2 on 2. There were times when the other 3 girls were just standing on the other half of the court. Seemed to work seeing that we had over 90 points.

    ***NCAA First Round: (7) Iowa State vs. (10) Maryland [Fri., 6:30 CT]***

    Emily should be on the NCAA stat list for average assists per game but I guess she didn't play in enough games or something. She would be in the top 10. Also, might have been another women's star/celebrity born tonight.

    *** Official Selection Sunday Thread ***

    If you assume that the majority of your non-conference games are your Quad 3 and Quad 4 games then they both should just be eliminated from being a factor. The top 10 teams in the Net rankings were 110-1 against Q3 and Q4 teams. The top 25 teams were 296-8. So that means that nobody really...

    Aaaaannd.... keep in mind that Marquette got beat by 16 points against Ucon in their tournament and are 2 seed. They lost three times to them this year. Once by 28 points. We beat our #1 by 29 and Marquette was still ahead of us.

    Based on all this I could see more sandbaggig. Sampson even said in his post game interview after winning the semifinal that he wished they could just go home and rest.

    So overall, does this bracket mean that conference tournaments don't seem to mean as much as you'd think they do? That is, for power 5 conferences.... We should be where Tennessee is and they should be where we are.

    For somebody who knows such things...since we're a #2 seed that's placed in a bracket with the #1 overall seed does that mean we're listed as the actual 8th team on the list? Hope that makes sense. But yeah that seed stinks. And now seeing Houston as a #1 and we beat them twice stinks even more.

    *** Official #7 IOWA STATE vs #1 Houston Game(Day) Thread ***

    In his interview last night after winning Sampson made a comment where he said he wished they could just go home and rest and heal up. Right now his kids are acting like it.
