Nice win, but we caught a break with Tech having a starter that averages 10 point and 8 rebounds a game. We will have to play our best game of the year to beat Houston on the road.

That tends to bite ISU in the back and to start it probably changes ISU's game plan for someone that doesn't get the same minutes.

Perhaps they don't get up 20 but I think ISU wins that today no matter the TT injury.

yeah, probably right. I want to beat teams at full strength. I know we are good and I was nit picking. I want so bad for ISU to get a final 4, I want to believe this is the team that can do it. I'm just a jaded Cyclone fan that is guarded, that's all.

This team has just as good of a chance as any other good ISU team, last years team
Included. It’s 50% how good your team is and 50% matchups/locations/game times.

Do we move up in ranking at all?
Probably not. I think the only team a little above us who lost one this week was #7 UNC (7-point loss @ Syracuse). I guess they could fall to #10 over that but I doubt it given how little thought AP voters give these things. Marquette got stomped today but they won't fall out of the top 10.

Kansas lost as well to a team we recently played. ;)
