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 Gonzaga
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.
Also, KGs has an important role on offense - when no one can get open or hit a shot or do anything... KG has to become LEEEEROOOOY JENKINS! And in this role he makes some insane plays, but also ends up making some horrible mistakes too.
Im more worried about Lipsey. He just doesnt quite look right the last several games. Idk if hurt or pressing or what. Would love to see him just play a crisp calm game vs BYU.

JBR has learned what engagement with Iowa State fans means for his account.
Any of us would take that draw as long as Omaha was still in play.
In the pre-pods era, where all of the 1st/2nd round sites were predetermined which regionals they were set to funnel into.
West: Salt Lake and Tucson funneled to Albuquerque
Midwest: Cleveland and Minneapolis funneled to Auburn Hills
East: Winston-Salem and Buffalo funneled to Syracuse
South: Birmingham and Nashville funneled to Austin
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.
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.
EDIT: actually looking at that again, that is a preferable draw to me than Kansas. Kansas gets UConn in Boston. Although Arizona in LA wouldn’t be a cakewalk, but AZ is very inconsistent

This 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'.

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.
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.

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.

heres a fun one for bubble watch: Now I will say just for context, the first one is Gonzaga and their numbers are high because of the nonconf, I'm guessing. But the Q1-Q2 records compared to the two other teams is interesting.
Alabama is a little scary to get to the E8. Stylistically they are our mirror.

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.
Okay...thanks for playing, I guess. It's gravy FOR ME. 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.
Bama seems like the type of team that defensively we could really speed up. Offensively I think we could slow the game down on them in the half court and really take the flow out of them.

Interesting. I think Iowa has a decent shot and KState is pretty much cooked.
KState needs to split the week and win 2 in KC. That would most likely involve beating us twice in 6 days.
