Conference USA left some meat on its plate, bid-wise; Old Dominion and Louisiana Tech were both far better than the Blazers this season. But hey, when life gives you a conference tournament in your home city ...
ESPN.com writes of Iowa State:
The Cyclones remain one of the nation's most encouraging teams. How so? It's not just that Iowa State is good. It's that the Cyclones manage to be both very good and very entertaining all at the same time. Purposeful possessions, impeccable spacing, great shooting, big men who play like guards -- Fred Hoiberg's formula is an absolute blast. The Cyclones may not guard like a national title contender, sure, but they usually make up for it on the other end. Besides, any team that can fall behind in its last five games by a combined 75 points and go 5-0 anyway -- well, what's scarier than that?
