[QUOTE="illini510, post: 2057556, member: 748857"] How is it worthless? They came up short vs Purdue twice, Marquette, and Tennessee, and UConn. Those are/were all top 10 teams. Prior to Iowa St, they couldn't beat any of the upper echelon teams in the country. Their best win during the season was Florida Atlantic who fell to an 8 seed and that was a generous seed for them. Iowa St win proved that they could get a win against an elite team. When you do an eye test. would we rather see Iowa St among the wins over Morehead St and Duquesne on the tourney resume or do you think people would've been satisfied with just Morehead St and Duquesne? If you say the latter, you are kidding yourself [/QUOTE]
