Props for Hawkeye basketball from ESPN

Why again am I supposed to watch? Turns out Bolding is going to be out 4-6 weeks...

-Extra athleticism and scoring covers up a lot of things. You can have a bad night and still win with that...we saw that against Chicago St.

-Depth...if one guy is off, you plug in another. We didn't have that last year.

-Finally playing some scholarship juniors and seniors. Experience wins games, too.

The better the hawks do the better our RPI. That is what helps us get to the big dance. We should want every team we play to do well other than beating us as it only helps us. Just a fact of life the way the game is played.:smile:

I think you're overestimating when you say, "wins keep comming", because they will be few and far between come Big 11 season. I think they win 13-14 games at the most this year.

I would love for them to be more competitive than my suggestion here, but I could actually see them in single digits for victories.

I dropped my over/under from 12.5 to 9.5 after seeing Sunday's game. Could be ugly this year, but Lickliter is a good coach. Hopefully they'll give him the time, and not try to run him out of town like Alford, Dr. Tom, etc....

Why do you continue to grace this site with your presence?

Hope you guys have a great year. I think Iowa State can compete well in the big 12 this year and will be dancing. Hopefully Iowa will do better than I think. I believe they have some good young players but will have to see how things go in the next couple years. I will be rooting for the Cyclones this year.

Good Luck!

Me, too. But I don't think those guys have any patience over there.

But once they run him out, I don't know who they think they're going to get. Their reputation has to be declining, which really is a shame. No jimlad.

I don't get it...they lose to Texas San Antonio, and get on espnu. While the isu/drake game gets mediacom again
