Yeah if I were a betting man (which I am), I would say Virginia figures some things out by March and is at least in the bubble conversation. Certainly a down year for them, though.

I haven’t watched Iowa this year but I can’t imagine their guard play will be able to withstand the constant hounding by our guards, could be wrong.
They do a decent job at high screens and ball movement to get 3s...and you just know they'll go off on us. Hopefully we steal the ball a lot like we did against Memphis...rattle them early and make them play catchup.
I agree but we need to be careful not to over play the ball, that's where Iowa could be dangerous.
When looking at this match-up over the last several years, Iowa has been the more passionate team, which doesn't shock me because we haven't had any in-state players (or a coach) who really gets hyped up for the game. While we still don't have any in-state players, I'm very confident that TJ will have our guys playing like their hair is on fire and we will more than match Iowa's energy, so I have a much better feeling about this year's game.
When Iowa's struggled the past few years it's been in games where there guards are being defended physically. Their players have even bitched about it after those games. How we like to play and how they don't like to play should align great.

I thought this was interesting reading how everyone thinks Iowa can really score and the win at Virginia was a quality win. Remember, Virginia Tech is the team Memphis beat by 9 before we played them. I don't know if Virginia will come out of it.......but they are not a very good team right now.

For those who thought the Virginia win was a quality win.......check out their game tonight against Jimmy Madison. Let's face it..........UV blows.
So if ISU fans have one thing to worry about it will be this.......................we are the Hawks last chance to get a quality, resume building non conference win. They know this and are already batting .000 in conference play along with UV now being exposed. They will be very, VERY motivated Thursday night. They don't get us.......they will have to make some serious noise in the conference to make the dance. And I like our chance against a desperate Hawk team.
And what is it with these stupid adds that make the post look like this?
