Three Thoughts

• Pokes take on Iowa State on the road today where a four-game win streak will be snapped or a home-streak in conference play will be – chance for the Pokes to land a serious quad one win today at 5pm (PFB)

• OSU is projected as in the Big Dance now (Field of 68 has them as a No. 10 seed as does Joe Lunardi), time to climb some seed lines

• Who knows where realignment ends up but those four Pac-12 schools fit a lot better than you’d think (PFB)

Two Quotes

• Chad Weiberg nails it here, lots of momentum change over the last 18 months for the Big 12:

“It is remarkable,” Weiberg said of the 18-month turnaround. “July, August, September of ’21, the national narrative around the Big 12 Conference was clearly not good. Fast forward to today and it has completely changed.”

• Sometimes it’s easy to forget Bryce Thompson was a McDonald’s All-American – here’s why he was per his high school coach:

“Yes, he could finish; yes, he could pass; yes, he could shoot the 3,” (Conley) Phipps said. “But what separated him as a high school player was his ability to shoot 13-, 17-, 15-foot shots off the bounce. His mid-range game was phenomenal.”

One Question

• With how well Iowa State is playing, would a win in Ames be OSU’s best road victory of the year?
