Going to be hard to get into the NIT really… Think the CBI will give us an invite? We might have to battle a spot with Detroit Mercy.

Lots of tossing and turning for me last night. Lucky if I got 30 min of sleep all night. I hope the selection committee throws us a bone and takes us, even though we have 19 wins.
Omaha! Omaha!
Mon Dieu.
Omaha!

Iowa fans would rather be the #1 seed in the NIT, than a low seed in the real tourney.

I'm guessing we'll play Iowa in the play-in game...and watch Frangry man lose his mind when we beat them.

Me: Is Iowa State Even a Tournament Team?

AIChat: As an AI language model, I don't have personal opinions or emotions, but I can provide you with some information to answer your question.
Whether Iowa State is considered a tournament team depends on several factors, including their performance during the regular season and their overall ranking compared to other teams. In general, teams that have a strong win-loss record and a high ranking in their conference and national rankings are more likely to be considered tournament teams.
As of my knowledge cutoff date of September 2021, Iowa State had struggled in recent years, finishing with a record of 2-22 in the 2020-21 season. However, the team could have improved during the 2021-22 season and may have earned a spot in the NCAA tournament.
Ultimately, the decision of whether Iowa State is a tournament team will be determined by the NCAA Selection Committee, which evaluates teams based on a variety of factors including their record, strength of schedule, and quality of wins.

Me: Um, yeah, look at their record this year.

AIChat: I apologize for my previous response, as my knowledge cutoff was in September 2021 and I do not have access to live sports data. As of my current date of March 2023, Iowa State has a record of 21-10 and has earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament. They will compete in the tournament as one of the 68 teams selected to participate. So, yes, Iowa State is considered a tournament team for the 2023 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament.

My friend wrote a chatGPT novel where I was an ISU booster, then coach, won several national championships, then it went off the rails and I hired Michael Jordan to be ISU coach, he actually failed as coach and he and I ended up on the run from the law. Pippin got killed trying to protect us. Ended up seeking sanctuary in North Korea with Rodman, where the two of them trained me up to their level at basketball where I could battle MJ one on one…in North Korea.

And the teams that we did play outside the B12, who will make the tournament, smoked us.

Yep, and if ISU beat them all they might still get beat this week.

It can be pretty wild.

we've got the best record of top 10 and top 25 wins in the country, 3 wins against a team that was touted as Top 10 before, during and after, a 2 game sweep over another conference opponent that's in "the show". so yeah, we're in easy. In the last week the worst I've seen is a 5-6 seed...
