Iowa State, at this juncture of the 2021-2022 season, is squarely in the NCAA tournament.

Considering Iowa State won two games last season, that statement calls for the “Who Would Have Thought” Paul Rudd meme, does it not?

While things may change over the last two weeks of the season, I thought it worth looking at Iowa State’s resume, where they are projected at the current moment, and what further opportunities lie ahead of the Cyclones before Selection Sunday.
