So who would Vegas favor in a game? ISU or Drake?
Billion dollar hotels dont get built by them not knowing who's favored in a game.

ISU was without Wigginton and Lard was still working his way back in.
And we still won by 9.
Add Wigginton\Lard at 100% and odds are that game isn't close.
Who would you bet on?
It would be a really tough call for me. Drake won their conference, and right now the way ISU is playing, we could lose by 20 to just about anyone at any time.
Lol, that Drake game was like their 2nd game playing together as an entirely new team. You are comparing that to this team who should be gelling right now with their full team, but instead look completely lost?
Lol, we lost by 16, games arent 30 minutes long. FYI, we trailed by an average of 7.3 points that entire game, 3rd worst average deficit out of 34 games that season.

Iowa State will be used by all the talking heads as an example of how bad the NET rankings are and how they have to be changed next year.
I disagree.
1. Give specific player assignments
2. Only allow switching in specific situations. (otherwise fight through screens)
3. Pick up assignments three point line extended
4. Overplay passing lanes.
The defensive effort looks weak because the parameter players are sagging to help in the paint too much.

Drake is a good team, fun to watch, and an absolutely great story. Good for them.
I say this as a UNI alum and fan; the MVC is a dumpster fire this season. The UNI and Wichita State NCAA tournament teams of recent years would clean their clocks this season. H@ll, last season's Loyola team was miles better than Drake this season.
It doesn't diminish their accomplishment, especially with some injury issues and a brand new coach. ISU would still be a double digit favorite in a re-match.

Bigger dumpster fire right now, Iowa or Iowa State?
Our +/- with LW has to be just putrid. I am not sure what you do. I know in several games our leads went long gone when LW entered the game. Baylor we were -13 when he was in in Waco. Home against TCU we were up 2 when he came in and in six minutes down 17. I am pretty sure today, when he came in we were up six and they went on a 19-3 run. In no way saying it's all his fault, all players are to blame, but those are some massive runs that happen right when he enters the game.
Lol, and we all know how Iowa State fares as double digit favorites at home.
Yeah. And his recent inconsistency is a microcosm of the whole team's recent inconsistency. Thing is, he has those games like @ K-State where he's the best player on the floor, so I don't know that you can get away without playing him.
Exactly my point. What do you do? I love TH but he isn't aggressive enough or looking to score. LW is, despite some of the time being off. But LW's defense isn't as good as TH. Sucks.
