Yeah, that was one thing I thought they missed. Also, referring to the federal investigation, I liked how they called Texas and Oklahoma State 'rule-breakers' but Kansas is just 'exposed'.Wigginton will be a first teamer or should be, otherwise pretty good stuff
Hah, didn't even notice that.Cyclones picked 6th by Travis Hines*

Notable that Travis Hines wrote the article for NBCSports. He has consistently, and perhaps rightfully, acknowledged the talent infusion ISU has had but cautious to see it it play out before predicting it'll result in a bunch of wins. Seems like a safe prediction for Hines (and he won't be called a "homer" reporter") with a 6th place finish.
While 6th feels low I think 6 or 7 B12 teams will make the tourney so this solid safe rebound. Personally I see 6th as the floor for the Cyclones this year and would predict a 4th place finish behind KU/KSU/WV.

Except if it’s his favorite teamsYou'll never have to worry about Hines coming off as a homer. Love or hate the guy he is pretty good at what he does though

Isn't he from the Twin Cities? I bet he's a closet Gopher fan.I don't even know who his favorite college basketball team is so he's obviously good at hiding it

I don't know Hines and sometimes he comes off poor on radio (I would come off awful). I think he is one of the premier basketball writers out there right now- anywhere. I like his work more than Dauster and Rothstein's and I like their work a great deal. I realize that they are doing national work but the contributions that Hines makes to NBC are really solid. We are lucky to have him here even if we don't like everything he says.
I think he's a Wisconsin grad isn't he? I don't know, he's not as smart as he thinks he is but Fred and his staff loved him because he's the best we have
