Well that is a fair assesment on the Iowa schools. Hopefully we can gel as a team and some of that athletic talent can lead us to a berth. If not I think all of us know that this is considered a rebuilding year and will be ok as long as we see the effort on the court.
By the way I would bet my first born son that more than 4 teams out of the big 12 make it. I realize the conference is a little down, but so is the Big east and big 10. Should be a very open and interesting season. GO CLONES!!!
If I were picking, I would say UNI has the best chance realistically. Alford isn't that great even when he has experienced players and can be scary bad when he doesn't. GMAC needs at least a year.
Way too early in the season to be predicting which teams will be heading to the "big dance."
I would say UNI has a realistic shot at making the tourney. Past history has show that the Valley will get two or more teams in the dance. I would think they have a shot at finishing in the top 2 to 4 in the Valley. I would also say that Iowa and Iowa State have a shot. Now I wouldnt say I would favor them to be in the tourney, but neither league looks particularly strong so I think they could finish in the top 1/2 of the conference.
