Hines Column: Glory or infamy awaits these Cyclones in the big dance

Staff writer Travis Hines

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The most hyped and anticipated Iowa State men’s basketball team in history has made it to March and accomplished next to nothing.

No regular season Big 12 title. No three-peat conference tournament championship. Not even a particularly high seed is expected to be announced on Selection Sunday.

The legacy of this group will be almost exclusively defined by what happens next by the cruelest and most fickle postseasons in American sports.

The NCAA tournament is the last and only chance the 2015-16 Cyclones have to be remembered as anything but a disappointment.
