Tough stretch beginning with Texas Tech and Creighton/SDSU in Vegas, at Syracuse, at Michigan, Minnesota at home, at Iowa State, Cincy in Chicago.

The noncon schedule looks to be about as tough as I've seen the program play. Some will probably still complain about the couple of cupcakes though..
Agreed, I always enjoyed watching the Iowa kids at UNI and Drake get a crack at playing the DI state schools. That and if Iowa is going to pay somebody to play during the noncon, might as well keep the money instate if possible. One would think sooner or later one of the ADs will crack and agree to some sort of arrangement.I'd still like to see Iowa play UNI and Drake in some form on a regular basis, but looking at this non-con, I kind of understand why it's gone.

Word on the street was that Iowa offered to alternate playing UNI and Drake at Carver and they declined.
I don't know if that's true.
Iowa will potentially play 7 straight games against teams that finished in the top 100 NCAA NET rankings (Texas Tech, possibly Creighton at Las Vegas Invitational, Syracuse, Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa State, Cincinnati).
We're gonna know a whole hell of a lot about this team early.
No glory, no NCAA tourney!No guts, no glory!!

Looks like Michigan, Minnesota, Penn State, Nebraska, Maryland, Illinois, and Purdue twice. At MSU is rarely fun but at least Wiscy is home.
