I think the NIT is within our reach. Every team in the north, including KU, is vulnerable. If we can steal a couple wins from the south we should be in good shape for a NIT bid.
Gameday Thread--ISU vs. Texas

We just lost by 8 to the #7 team in the country.
THIS WASN'T A BAD GAME.
If that makes me a koolaid drinker, then so be it.
I'd say the officiating was bad, but it was bad both ways, so I don't call it an excuse.
I think you've got it on the post problem, and I would add the need to finish. We missed enough layups to win this game right there.
I totally agree. We could've won this game and it is almost un-arguably the hardest game we have on our schedule. After this game I think we have a legit shot at any game on our schedule.
If we didn't settle for c##ppy 3's in the first half and garrett makes some of his bunny shots we would've won that game. Loss sucks but I think we played one of our better games this season, which is promising.
You never like to loose, but I'm damn proud of the effort the Cyclones put on the floor today.
We could have easily lost by 15 - 20 points, easy, but our team played great D, did better than I expected rebounding and almost showed offensive consistency.
I'm sure after the game Rick Barnes whispered to Greg that we gave them more than they expected.
We'll upset a few teams this year I suspect and maybe even get a road win or two.

Eh, I'm about as far from a McDermott fan as you can get, but he didn't lose this game. We didn't hit our shots and we fell asleep on defense more times than you can afford.
The defensive gameplan was exactly what needed to happen.
exactly, who would bring the ball up the court if DG wasn't here? Petey = :biglaugh:
ISU had their chances today, too bad that CB only showed up for 20 minutes of basketball
No without brakins, ISU would have lost by 20. Garrett turns the ball over to much, yeah he might have kept ISU in the game, but the guy cannot finish and turns it over to much.
Easy, tiger. This team won't play this well all the time. Expect inconsistency. We will lay an egg in a game we should win somewhere down the line, and also beat someone we shouldn't beat.
8 wins would be great, but I don't think it's happening.
It really sucks that we "just aren't good enough" to beat the #7 team in the country on the road.
Exactly. We really had a chance to do it, and we didn't put the #7 team away. It's time to fire everybody.:wideeyed:

Every game, every year. We've needed a "true" 3 for a while now. Hello, Mr. Barnes.
