It depends. Will team leaders emerge during the season or will the Hawks continue to wilt under pressure? Right now I wouldn't bet the farm on an NCAA bid.
Iowa is a top 25 team. We sit here and tear them apart, but they are a top 5 or 6 team in the toughest league in the nation. It's important to have the ranking for national attention.
This team is too nice. Woody is the only guy who can bang with the big boys. Certainly an interesting dynamic with a coach who has fire coming out of his pores. Wish the team would show it. It's OK to get ****** off and fired up.
You can still be a pretty good team at .500 in the league. My concern is that Gesell is regressing, Oglesby is what is he is, and Jok has regressed. For Iowa to be competitive, we need these guys to step up big...now.
