From CBS:
Iowa State started 13-2 (4-0 Big 12) and is 6-11 since. Over the last five weeks, the Cyclones are 1-7 against teams not named Baylor. Making matters worse, they play at a slow pace and commit too many turnovers. This may be one of the worst No. 6 seeds in NCAA Tournament history, and neither of their potential first round opponents are particularly interesting.”
The “expert” may have a point, but I’ve seen enough contempt/ignorance about ISU across the internet. Defense wins championship and the Cyclones are a good/elite defense this season. I believe our guys (and women) will prove these naysayers wrong during the tournament.
28. (6) Iowa State vs. (11) Mississippi State/Pitt
