Iowa had a better strength of schedule, an ISU poster actually pointed that out earlier in the thread......
Expectations? Most hawk fans thought it was a year of a bubble birth. Not sure who expected to be in the tourney? Some might have but I did not think it was a sure thing. Most writers did not either. So hawk fans having enthusiasm to see their team get to the tourney is one thing. Actual predictions by unbiased sources said otherwise. That is what we use in this thread is opinion, not fact. Unless we have changed that again today........
So, you don't frequent Iowa message boards?
