NET rankings update after Iowa loss.
Iowa dropped from 27 to 60.
Eastern Illinois climbed from 350 to 333.
E-Ill currently has a better record in Quad 1 (1-2) than Iowa (0-1).
Also, if you're curious, ISU dropped from 31 to 32. Apparently the combo of big loss to Iowa and canceling the Omaha game seriously eroded our tournament profile.

Missed this from the Michigan UNC game yesterday. Dickinson kneed Caleb Love in the head, not sure how he didn't get kicked out.

I’ve been mulling around an idea of how we can get Drake on the schedule and I think I have a cool concept. What if Drake and Des Moines put on a 4 team invitational. Iowa and ISU switching off playing Drake every other year.
2 days 4 teams. Winners and losers play each other.
Drake vs ISU
mid major vs Big Ten
Drake vs Iowa
mid major vs big 12 or other.
Think about all the possible teams within a 6hr drive in Des Moines. Just need a big corporate sponsor.

I like it!
Another cool thing would be ISU and Iowa double header vs. a couple of other rivals such as Louisville and Kentucky. ISU vs. Louisville and Iowa vs. Kentucky or ISU vs. Kentucky and Iowa vs. Louisville. 'Twould be a fun double header at Wells Fargo Arena!
Jeepers! 51-27 at halftime.
What was the line?
Also, although I'm not prone to "rooting" for Mizzou, obviously it won't hurt ISU's relative profile if Missouri continues to win. (Hopefully gets "L" vs. us, of course).
Looks like we’re in for another good post-game presser on the lack of leadership with the Illini players.
They've got two nice wins but otherwise look overvalued again.
Glad we didn’t hire him when we had the chance to.
UCLA is a borderline top 10 team but I am not convinced that Texas is a top 10 team.
Indiana who is without TJD and Xavier Johnson, losing to Kennesaw State in the second half.
Their weak showing in the last two NCAA tournaments was just such a grind so bye games are a struggle.
