Anyone know how to find out who the 20 people were that actually voted for ISU in the latest poll? Made me shake my head wondering if they even pay attention to whats happening in NCAA basketball?

Why is it so surprising? It’s body of work for the season not a snapshot in time.

NCAA seeding wise we are very likely a top 25 team today.

Didn’t expect us to rated, but on the other hand I was surprised to see 16 voters taking Oral Roberts over the Cyclones.

Personally I think that would be nuts. Yes, the dance is a body of work, but the body of work has a bunch of bad losses that equal the good wins. And being on a big skid like this will make them a questionable team when the committee puts things together. We won’t get any favors in seeding. Potentially being 17-14 in a tough conference and losing 10 of their last 12 games won’t look good (yes, that’s a worst case scenario).

Saturday would be the first actual bad loss for ISU. I suppose OSU but they were very bubbly or 'in' recently. Same with WV and Tech was favored in Lubbock.
