Fred Hoiberg hired as ISU's new coach!

Re: Fred Hoiberg hired as ISU's new coach!

We are not going to be an at-large team this year. And it was probably really unrealistic to think that we could be coming into this year.

But we will be a good team throughout the year that finishes in the top half of the Valley, and we will be a very tough out in STL.

I certainly wouldn't call it "hoping for a miracle" in STL. If this team continues to progress like we we think it can, we should be considered one of the favorites in STL. We have a big chunk of our roster that were not even around the last time we lost a MVC tournament game. We are going to go there expecting to win that thing again.

I think we can stop with the "the team can make progress" speeches. We will reach 17-18 wins this year and possibly make it to the conference tournament championship game, but that is about it. Improving our gameplay does not make up for a lack of height, inside presence and luck. I will be in STL screaming my head off, but we have to come to a realization this is a UNI team that equates more to 2006-2007 than 2008-2009 (since nothing will compare to 2009-2010!).

17 wins?? Do you honestly think we are only going to win 7 or 8 Valley games??

If we get 11 or 12 in the Valley and bracketbuster we are looking at 21-22 wins going to StL and looking at an NIT as the worst case scenario.

Nothing at this point shows me we are going to win more than 2 road games and we will drop 1-2 home games. I am now getting scared to even play Drake here in Des Moines. Am I too much doom and gloom? Maybe, but we had a cake schedule for this year and we've blown too many opportunities for me to think that we have the intestinal fortitude to pull more than 9 more wins. You can't win consistently at this level without some sort of inside game.

I think we could win a few games in the NIT.

Iowa State is about to win a road game at Okie St. How are they doing this?

That is turning out to be a very good win for us.

I was just about to post this. An at large is still out of the question, but it will be nice to have a few decent wins for seeding purposes if we are able to pull it off in St. Louis.
