We aren’t a top 11 team either.

I think we’ll end up around 25-30th by end of season.
There is a massive drop off after the top 5 teams, and another huge drop off after ISU. Teams 11-20 could be ranked in about any order and still be accurate.

We've played pretty good defense, for the most part, and rebounded better than I thought we would.

Turnovers have killed us, well that and UConnhaving two first team All Americans.

This is like watching the freshman vs the varsity. The hawks can’t dribble, their passes are sort of just lofted up hoping to land somewhere.

I get it, UCONN is SUPER good. So it makes sense.

Hard to believe no player can get open when UCONN is massively over playing every pass.

They need to play faster so they can get shots off before UCONN gets set on D. UCONN has too much talent and will take just about everything away.

Minus the collapse in the first part of the 3rd quarter, Iowa won that game fairly easily.

Iowa St is still better than us but that's not a huge gap.
