Considering their record against Creighton and the three very close losses to UNI, this team has earned a shot in the NCAA. I would put them ahead of Creighton on the bubble list. Of course, they will need some BCS conference tournaments go according to Hoyle to have a chance, but this team has been the last one left out of the tournament for too many years now. They deserve a chance. I hope that ISU gets an at large bid. Considering their record against Creighton and the three very close losses to UNI, this team has earned a shot in the NCAA.

This was simply the best game in college basketball in the past two weeks. ISU was leading in overtime by one point and missed a layup that would have expanded the lead to three points with 40 seconds left in overtime. Anyone who watched this game knows ISU was down by 12 points and came back to take the lead. After destroying Creighton the day before by 24 points (and won 2 of 3 meetings this year, folks), ISU deserves a bid. 24 and 25 wins the past seasons. What was the last college basketball team to do that and not be selected? As an ISU grad, we deserve an at-large bid.
