Why do we always find a need to compare ISU to the hawks? Its stuff like this that perpetuates the "little brother syndrome"
Except living in hawk country for 13 years I can tell you they don't measure up every achievement of theirs to our achievements.Its called a rivalry.
Any cyclone who buys into the existence of 'little brother syndrome' has been listening to the hawks too much.

Or an easier solution is to just not be little brotherly in the first place, and realize that our success speaks for itself without comparing ourselves to Iowa in every facet of life.Every night before I go to bed, I make a 2 column list. In the first column, I write things I said/thought/wrote during the day, that would make me seem like little brother. In the second column, I write the good things I did- like called others out when they were being little brother.
In this way, I am able to achieve a goal very important to me- not to be seen as little brother.
Seriously?
The only thing being in the NIT final four means is that you didn't make the dance. A few more practices sure, but the exposure from a first round NCAA game far outweighs the NIT.
Stanford won the NIT last year. What did that mean for this year? More NIT basketball.
Which is better for a basketball program, NIT Final Four, or Fred coaching the all-star game, McGee/Thomas in 3-pt contests?
Iowa in NIT Final Four gets some publicity which will help recruiting! but biggest benefit may be confidence going into next year.
ISU also benefits from publicity from the three events, with probably the same total number of people watching. Great pub go Fred as a Guru of shooting techniques.
i think it is a wash. Iowa is going to be good next year.
Why is everyone so obsessed with Iowa?
