So, we have 3 Quad 1 type wins already, all away from home. That’s enough for an at-large in March. LONG ways to go and we could still get owned in the B12 because it’s just that good. But we have enough of those wins already…and can get another on Thursday night. I’ll be there and we’d better fill Hilton to the rafters without a single Hawk fan in attendance.

Unfortunately there will be lots of hawks. $40 tickets were available direct from the ticket office for several weeks.

I'm bringing three cyclones, kept our string of season tickets running and improved our seats

Oh I’m aware. But anyone with tickets out there needs to make sure they end up with Cyclones.

I agree but also disagree. That whole entire game was fun to watch but also stressful as hell. I think creighton is the best team we’ve played and it’s not even close. I think if there was much more time we might have lost the game the way they were playing. Also seemed like the refs let isu play aggressive all game until the last 5 minutes

The bolded doesn't make sense.

Time ran out.

#65 on Kenpom now! Top 40 defense!! Still shows us going 18-13 on the season.
I’ll take the over.

18-13 is planning on only 10 more wins this season. We have 3 more easy non-con wins. Plus Mizzu is very winnable. I think this team can win more than 6 games between the Iowa game and 18 conference games.

Maybe. It's not like they had a lot of hype coming in to the season.

It is fantastic how the bench has stepped up the way Grill and co. did tonight. What is a weeee bit disconcerting is how many times that's been necessary because Kalscheur and Brockington are so up-and-down in their offensive production.
It comes down to teams keying on them and Hunter, they’ll force the bench to score and if we continue to do such it’s actually a coaching nightmare especially when you play tough defense and do fundamental basketball, it’s tough.

I know KenPom is strictly stats...but I’d like to see 40 better defenses...I’d like to see 10 better defenses..Because there aren’t.

Yeah, that was completely nonsensical. To me that looks like a poster who just wants to b!tch about something, no matter how silly they look.

I think it will get better. It is still using some of last year's stats to keep it from jumping around as much. I think after 20 games is when it becomes all of this year's stats only.
