I get that drawing the last #3 would be controversial with us, but I'd like our chances against the others in that region if that's how it turned out.

What's this Mock BB deal? Is it an official NCAA thing? And yes give me the 3 seed over the 2 seed that Kansas has, I don't want any part of a 7 seed GonzagaI get that drawing the last #3 would be controversial with us, but I'd like our chances against the others in that region if that's how it turned out.
Theres a big difference between "he had a bad game" and "he sucks". Id put KG under the former vs UCF. And he still made a key key play in crunch time.In Gilbert’s defense we had some success getting their bigs to commit which lead to the guards dishing it off for an easy basket. The problem is UCF adjusted and he did not. This game is a total outlier for him, I’m not worried about it.

I think we'd still get Omaha if we're at the 1/2 level, but didn't something similar happen in 2000? We got the 2 seed and Minneapolis the first weekend, but was it worth having to go to Detroit?
The first round sites are not based on region. Iowa State would likely be in the West region, but their first and 2nd round games would be in Omaha.Maybe that's why I'm not thinking about this right. But if you have Houston, Purdue, UConn, and ISU as 1 seeds then the sites would be:
Memphis-Houston
Indianapolis-Purdue
Brooklyn-Uconn
Omaha-ISU
You are telling me that the committee wouldn't put a 1 seed in the Western time zone?
Yeah. I’d be fine with that draw. We’d still get Omaha because Baylor is seeded higher than Bama so they’d go to Memphis.I get that drawing the last #3 would be controversial with us, but I'd like our chances against the others in that region if that's how it turned out.
No, it’s not impossible, just unlikely. Case in point, Duke had to play South Carolina in Greenville, SC, in 2017 when Duke was a “2” seed and SC was a “7“ seed. The committee tries to avoid such situations. However, if the matchup is unavoidable due to other seeding criteria, the committee won’t protect the higher seed.I like this guy but curious about this bracket. Isn't it not possible for us to be placed in Omaha against (possibly) Nebraska? Something along the lines of protecting the top 16 seeds so we aren't basically playing a road game? Maybe I'm wrong.
1’s and 2’s are usually pretty protected geographically but it does happen from time to time. I would be shocked to see Nebby in Omaha.I like this guy but curious about this bracket.

I'd love that bracket for usThis bracketologist is one of the best. If people are wondering where Iowa might stand 'on the bubble' this guys says Kansas State is actually ahead of Iowa in terms of who are the ones 'out'.

Alabama is a little scary to get to the E8. Stylistically they are our mirror.I'd love that bracket for us

They are a little scary, but I doubt they've seen a defense like ours, and they give up a lot of points. I figure the Sweet Sixteen game is going to be tough in any case, so give me our great defense against their great offense, and our good offense against their bad defense.Alabama is a little scary to get to the E8. Stylistically they are our mirror.
Okay...thanks for playing, I guess. It's gravy FOR ME. Is that difficult to understand?Yeah, i disagree with your idea that everything is gravy. Is that difficult to understand?
But wasn't MSU the overall #1? Maybe I'm mis-remembering that. If we were the top 2-seed, we shouldn't have been in the same region as MSU in that scenario.It's come out by reliable sources (Blum) that ISU was in discussion for the 4th #1 or 1st #2 in 2000. 1 seed was out west not sure where the first 2 rounds would have been played or 2 seed Midwest with 1st 2 rounds in Minneapolis. ISU administration pushed for the 2 seed to get the Minneapolis games. Horrible mistake in hindsight but understandable at the time
