I don’t have any doubt Montana State was the better team, but man it was there for the taking for ISU. That was the kind of game where it was going to be heartbreak for whoever lost.
If ISU does end up winning, that would be a Cinderella story for ages. Win all their playoff games on the road, including upsetting the #1 overall seed.
Like always, a grueling second half begins next weekend. 3 of the next 7 opponents are in the NPI top 10, 3 more are in the top 30. Only CC (at #34) is in the bottom half of the NPI, and barely.
