Why stop there? You have derpth . . . how does your 11th and 12th options look? Probably would be starters at UNC and Duke.
Only 3 top 25 teams preseason for the B1G. Iowa should have no problem finding 12 or 13 conference wins.
Indiana should be good as the preseason favorite with TJD returning, but even they are just a bubble team running it back.
Illinois might be the most talented team led by their two Big 12 transfers Matthew Mayer and Terrance Shannon. Lot of new pieces to blend with transfers and freshmen.

It's scary for Iowa basketball and their fans, considering how each of those players looked last season. It stands to reason though, that each of them have made modest to decent improvements since last season. Perkins was playing pretty well at the end of the season, a case could probably be made that he was #2 at times.
I personally expect Sandfort and Perkins to both be better than Patrick, but Patrick will average more MPG than both.
Jim Boeheim RIPS the Big Ten
Big Ten --all that history, recruiting base, massive budgets$$, and haven't won an NCAA title in 22 years
Grossly overhyped last year at this time,
leads to ......in sequential order:
> Overrated by media-types
> Overanked in polls
> Overseeded in NCAA tourney (w/ generous number of teams)
All of it is interconnected.
Big 10 had 9 teams make the Dance last March and they TANKED
so far this pre-season the voters finally coming to their senses
maybe Fran will get out of the first round this time LMAO

Depends on your definition of 2nd best player. There is the head coaches definition, aka one of his sons and there is the true definition in that it will be someone else.
A nice "Welcome back to the program" turd waiting for Fred on his desk when he took over the program.
If it wasn't for that stupid double-foul - the last title the big ten won was 1989?
Wait, I thought Perkins spent his summer learning to punt and transferred to the Iowa State football program.
FWIW he doesn't say it with a straight face, so he kind of knows it's a ridiculous answer, even though his rationale seems genuine.
Wait, haven't you heard, Sandfort grew 2 inches and is now 6'8? Chad thinks he's the second coming of Scottie Pippen.
I feel like it was more said in jest than anything. I can't imagine Underwood and the McCaffrey's are on all that friendly of terms. He sounds pretty curmudgeonly to me
Curmudgeonly? You'll have to be more specific if you mean Underwear, Connor Mac or Franny the hothead.
I think it's trolling that went a little awry.
Fake tough guys have a rough record in real fights.
