I just got done reading Randy Peterson's latest blog on the Des Moines Register's website.
Peterson about this year's Iowa State team and the NCAA tournament.
My Take: I think it is safe to say that we all think this can can make the Dance. But is that a reasonable expectation based off of what we saw last year?
Granted, this roster looks totally different than the one a year ago. That's what makes things so excited for fans...the unknown. But to expect an NCAA tournament birth...do you guys think that is fair?
Personally, I do. This team is loaded with talent. To me, the key for this team to really take off with be point guard play. I'm not even talking about Diante Garret either. I really want to see Dominique Buckley and Chris Colvin emerge so Garret can get to the wing. I don't want to see him there all of the time, but I want the option to be in Mac's back pocket. I think that will give this offense an explosion factor that we haven't seen before.
Just a few quick thoughts. What do you guys think?
