Fran was able to get his team to the middle of the Big 10 by being forced to play 8 guys and depended on 1 guy carrying them. He might try to play 11 or 12 guys next year. They will quickly return to the basement where they belong.
As long as he keeps Garza on the floor they will be fine.

We all know how serious ISU fans take these "way too early" polls.

Fair enough. I think some could have the Hawks top 10 but I think that's too high. There will be some hype assuming Garza comes back (and he will). UNI should be just outside the top 25 somewhere and who knows about the Clones. Anywhere from 40 - 80 is possible I suppose.

Yeah I mean it'll just depend on the roster situation for Iowa State. Land a high JUCO and a good immediate transfer and I think we'll be in the 40-60 range. Don't do either or only one and you're probably in the 60-80 range.

And I do think Iowa will be getting some hype this offseason and some may predict them in the top-10, but no one knows where they'll end up come the first poll. Just like Iowa State for football and some people putting them in the top-10.. Most likely I'd say both teams in their respective sports will be in the teens.

What are your early pre-season ranking predictions for Iowa, ISU and UNI ?
ISU 28, Iowa 32, UNI 38. All pretty close next year. Of course I'm assuming ISU is going to land an impact grad transfer or 2. I'm pretty confident we will get 1. The freshman will be a big upgrade next season also.

Ya. At least the 9th place Cyclones got to finish their season out. More than most can say.

Yet the Hawks underachieved yet again. No B1G Tournament Championship yet again and no NCAA tournament game. Wash, rinse, and repeat.

.....waiting for the "due to injuries, refs made bad calls, gym was too hot, back to back games, etc"

Just setting back waiting for this to take its inevitable 1956 national championship turn.

Sinking to new lows to say something like this in light of all that is going on.
