With one conference game remaining for each team in the Big 12, the seeding possibilities for Iowa State have simplified...a little bit. No matter what happens, the Cyclones will finish at least tied for 2nd place in the Big 12, something very few thought possible just a couple of weeks ago. There are two games (ISU/WVU and BU/UT) that impact Iowa State’s seeding, which can range anywhere from 2nd to 4th.
Scenario #1- Iowa State wins at West Virginia
Result: 2 seed
Should Iowa State beat the Mountaineers in Morgantown, not only would their NCAA tournament resume improve, but they would also find themselves as the #2 seed in the Big 12 tournament.
