*** Official IOWA STATE vs #20 UCONN Game(Day) Thread ***

I think you're giving the voters way too much across the board credit. Remember, Chad Leistikow has a vote along with Big Ten homers all over the Midwest and Upper Midwest. 24 voters had Iowa outside the 25 but there were enough of these guys to vote them in including dudes voting them in the teens. It will mostly self correct later but a lot of these peeps are just beat or sub-regional writers that just follow their favs esepcailly in the early season.
I look at Indiana and wonder what they’ve done the past two years to be ranked #11? They won a PIG last year and then got blown out in first game. 2 point road win @Xavier is really all I see this year and last year they weren’t great at all. Did they bring in a Shaq level player or something I didn’t know about?
If I’m a voter right now I think Purdue looks solid, giving Illinois, Maryland and MSU some credit and wait and see mode for rest of that league.
Watched a good portion of their game with Alabama. They look very good and look like they have alot of size.
From what I've seen, they have great shooters and a huge center - 7'1", 270 pounds, although he's only a freshman. He plods and looks like our athletic rim running bigs can take advantage. They play pretty hard nosed physical D as well it looks like.
Yes that is correct it worked out perfectly that one ticket gets you both games for those that are in Portland
Many will remember we were hoping to land Alex Karaban last year. He is a RS Fresh for UConn, starter.

Cingan comes off the bench I believe, but averages 15 mpg. He is a big tree and will only get better. Stopping Sanogo will be a challenge.
