I think a majority of the posters on here realize that, but it's fun to see the Iowa fans get their panties in a bunch when we tell them that the Big 10 isn't that good this year.Quote:

After years of futility, I'm desperate for any kind of success. And I can see Iowa running out of chances to impress the committee. They won't win on the road against Minnesota or Indiana, and Purdue is no cupcake. Wisconsin may not be a quality win by the end of the year, and I'm confident Illinois won't be. And to see them come so close to pulling out wins against top 15 teams, only to come up short, is beyond frustrating.
Apologies for getting a little short. I'm not used to having to actually handle success/expectations thereof when it comes to Iowa basketball.
The team likely to finish 5th in the Big Ten.Quote:

So you do agree Iowa State is still the better team than Iowa this year...Quote:

At this point Iowa State has a good chance to make its second tournament appearance in two years and I suspect Iowa fans will be bat crazy staying hme because they played In a tougher conference, won the head to head, etc, etc, etc. Those same fans need to remember that feeling when they are ridiculing Iowa state when Iowa makes better bowl even they lost on the field and played in the big ten.
Well it certainly doesn't prove that they wouldn't finish better than 5th, like boy genius was claiming up there.Quote:
