We legitimately have a great draw for our seeding and we’re in by far the weakest region. Top 5 defense usually spells issues for opponents during the tourney.

Just win baby! Survive and advance

Wut?

I would be thrilled just to get one win. We are playing with house money already.

Not super optimistic given Iowa State's recent performances. LSU seems like a toss up at best for ISU and then most likely would get a superior Wisconsin team in their home state in round of 32. Honestly I'm just amazed they even made the tourney.

Hopefully the Clones prove me wrong and make a run past the 1st weekend.

Doesn't every team have a story like this? Is every team going to lose because they're hoping to win some games? Quick run the story on how disgruntled the team is and they can't wait for the season to be over...

Man, that could be a 32 to 30 game. Ouch.

All but one.

Iowa State posted yesterday that we are one of 14 schools with 8 tournaments since 2012. A good reminder that things have been awfully good in our basketball program. Fun to see it continue!

Winning is dependent on Grill and/or Kalschur scoring. If one of them scores 15+ we’ll be in good shape- idk what gave needs to go off, but I hope he finds. If Kunc and or posts score 10+ too I think we win.

We need 3 players to score. You assume Brockington will. So we need any two of Caleb, Gabe, Alex, or Tyrese.

Colgate will beat Wisconsin. You heard it here first.

Alex? Do you mean Aljaz?

The way we've played at home this seems like an advantage.

Yes! Good grief!

While I agree with you on losing to Wisconsin I honestly don’t think they’re superior. If we were consistent and played our best game against their best game then I actually would like our chances. Unfortunately we’re inconsistent

I think hunter will show up but who will fill that third scoring role
