ISU ranked 7th in AP Preseason Poll - Highest preseason ranking ever
- Thread starter Colorado
- Start date
The Big Ten is going to be a very good conference this season.
The Big 12 cannot flop in the postseason again if they still want to get this kind of preseason respect. I'ma little surprised both polls had us in the Top 10. I think that has more to do with having a face on the program like Niang than actually being the 7th best team. This is going to be a stressful season with a new coach, little depth and a giant bullseye on our back. It's all about the tournament for me this season.

Gotta love message boards. Nowhere else can you find such high highs or such low lows over really next to nothing.
Hope they've been watching lots of the UAB final few minutes, remembering what that felt like. If all 5 guys on the court are playing with a chip on their shoulders for 40 minutes each game - look the **** out.
The depth stuff needs to just stop until given reason to worry about it. CBB doesn't live on depth like some other sports.

Sweet, that means we get a minimum of six chances to add a very quality win to the dance resume. Obviously a lot more out there, but this many ranked teams means every other night will be a slugfest. I love it.
I hope coaches and players don't care about pre season rankings cuz they don't matter. they sell magazines and create talk- that's it. Post season ranking is all that matters.
Nope. Maybe from a final "How was the season" perspective in March but the pre-season attention and recognition is nothing but good for Iowa State University and the basketball program.
No recruit going, "Iowa State, meh" but "Oooh, this contact is from thee Top 10 Iowa State University Cyclones and Coach Prohm."
Are you serious? This is the best team and most returning talent we have had since 2000-01. Even when we are a consensus pre-season top 10 team we still have fans that think we are overrated. Not sure why you even watch sports if they give you that much stress.
If you have 3 all conference caliber players on your team you are going to be and deserve to be a top 10 team
