They do....they trashed a really good NW team.....they look unbeatable at the moment. Which means that they will probably get slaughtered in the near future.

there will be times this year where a good team gets pounded by another good team. Iowa will get beat by more than 10 in conference this year and they will bury someone good by 15-20.

I got 5 on it!

Impossible! Team sucks! Bottom half! Not even top 25! Won't make the tournament!

Just preparing for the next game thread/drama session when the Hawks are losing or, gulp, god forbid lose a game.

I think KU at 6 is a joke. Both Wisconsin and Michigan should be above them. I think they'd be in trouble playing in the BIG this season......

 

[TKingpin]

Texas looks to be scary-good. They obliterated Kansas and they have really talented and athletic big men and guards that can really defend as well as penetrate.

They looked like the best team I have seen so far this season, but I haven’t seen Baylor, yet. Gonzaga beat us by 11, but if we play them again, I would bet that Suggs doesn’t go 8-9 from 3 while our guards go 4-24. I would seriously rather play the Zags than TX right now.

Texas is good but I would put Baylor and Gonzaga as the two best teams I've seen this year. Texas beat UNC by 2 (UNC doesn't appear to be good), lost to Villanova and beat Davidson by 2. Longhorns appear to be getting better though. Good size, good guard play.

it is 100% unacceptable for Iowa to EVER get pounded by a very good team.

have I made myself clear? if not, go sit in the corner for an hour & think about it!

 

[Hawksfor3]

On a somewhat different note, as I just put the Drake/SIU game on, how many games does Drake need to win to get in the rankings?

Texas looks good, but I'd still go with Baylor. Will be interesting to see what happens when they meet up.

 

[LuteHawk]

The Hawkeyes have the potential to compete for a
Big Ten title this year. They must avoid injuries,
play solid defense every game, and have a balanced
offensive attack and not rely totally on Garza.

Let’s see a Shaka team compete for a whole season. And guessing most people would say the same thing about us. As of right now Gonzaga has beaten 4/5 top 25 teams, clearly the 1 and Baylor a pretty clear 2. After that I think 3-10 will be in a pretty constant state of change. Think we stay around the top 10 most of the season.

 

[littlez]

Drake has their 2 game set with Loyola Sunday-Monday in Des Moines. Sweep that series and get to 15-0 I think they move in around 20. Playing great ball and getting a lot of love but schedule has not been great. Believe Loyola will be their first game against a Quad 1 or 2 team.

Texas only beat ISU by 6 points so NOT SO SCARY or GOOD?

And Baylor only beat the Clones by 11. We had them by 11 at halftime.

We play them once this year on March 3rd in Ann Arbor. Could be for the title...
