Not really a surprise, but Jerry Palm has us out in his up to date bracket. This guy hates us though, so I'm not too worried about it. At Baylor on Wednesday is another road game, and another opportunity for us to show the world that we CAN win a close game on the road.

Another over-time loss or debacle in the final 20 seconds will mentally deflate this team in my opinion. The men need to step up to the plate and get this W.

Whose shocked?

Who was the poster on here that got questioned by police for threatening to kill his family via twitter?

In other equally surprising news, the sun rose in the east this morning.

Seriously, though - as of right now we'd be a 10 or 11 seed according to just about everyone with a brain. Palm is a total jack*** that tries to stir things up to gain attention.

Jerry Palm had ISU on the fence last year at this time because he said they didn't have a good road win.

I remember that, which finally got changed with the win at Kansas State in late February. Hopefully the same thing happens this Wednesday night.

It was pure cloudy in my area.

Why wouldn't he have OU in? We are 17-8, they are 16-8. They have a road win at Baylor and a home win over Kansas, both wins we can't match. And that is not even mentioning their #17 RPI & #4 SOS (per ESPN). They also don't have a bad loss. Regardless of the fact that I believe we are a much better team then they are, barring a collapse they will make the tournament.

Some folks are such homers though that they believe we should be ahead of Oklahoma simply because we beat them handily at Hilton.

we are sitting at probably an average of 10/11/12 seed is that hard to believe that he doesnt think we are in?

I certainly don't think OU should be a 7 seed. In, sure, because they do have a tough schedule. 7 seed? Hell no.

And they did lose to Stephen F. Austin at home. A team with a solid record but has only played 2 non-mid majors.

Get outta here with the logic.

Also everyone does realize that Palm's mock brackets have no influence on whether or not we make the tournament, right?

I would also add that Seth Davis and Doug G debated a few bubble teams on CBS yesterday afternoon. Seth Davis also has ISU out, but Doug G (pretty sure we shouldn't hate on him anymore) went to bat for us and had us in.

Quality wins will be crucial. @BU, @OU, KU and OSU are all chances for quality wins.
