Iowa AP Rankings Unchanged





Our only loss is to a top 10 team in overtime and we can't get any love in the polls? Oh well, we haven't really beaten anybody yet either...that is until Friday night.

Both Iowa and Iowa State stayed at #23 and #17, respectively, in the AP. They both jumped two spots in the Coaches to #22 and #16. Zona is #1 in both polls.

Holy smokes, 3 B1G teams in the Top 5??!

I don't think the conference is as strong at the top as last season but you can't argue with that. That's like SEC football

Yes, Friday night is the big opportunity. Will know a lot more about this team then.
 




OSU at 3 is absurd. Crapft couldn't lead a cow to water, but he could sure foul.
Man I hate that team.
That is the game I have circled where we need to beat them into submission, then shoot them in the balls.

I was thinking the same thing. Craft is a good player, don't get me wrong, but they need a glorified scorer on that team and Ross hasn't shown me that he is that guy. Thompson is a freak of nature, but not a consistent player.

Wisky hasn't done anything to impress me, but they play some of the best team basketball I have seen in awhile. Kaminsky has had a few big games, but I don't see him being that dominant in the B10. Jackson can find the holes in a defense and make you pay. Dekker is an all around great player, especially for a soph. Brust, is a pain but one heck of a player.

I still think MSU is the strongest team in the nation. Appling and Payne were both injured for some of the UNC game and that hurt them. As long as they don't have any injuries, the could be the national champions this year.

That's just hater talk. Craft is and has been a great player for a long time. His team has also had great success in conference AND in the tournament while he's been there.

Sounds like jealousy

If Wisky hasn't done anything to impress you then what team has? Pretty much every game they've had has been against a worthwhile opponent. Won at home, neutral and road.

Don't think Wisky wins the BIG but their resume stands up well to anyone's at this current date
 


After we beat the Clowns on their court come Friday we will go up in the rankings. Go Hawks, **** ISU!

F*** Craft.... Oh wait I'm supposed to like him because he is the hard working non exceptionally athletic kid.
 


Iowa

We can determine who we don't like, like we did in the 2009 football polls.

P.s. Scott Wolf is still a tool. Always had us ranked low in the 2009 football polls, now has Villanova at #3 but Iowa unranked...hmmmm.

And the Florida and Marquette were without some of their best players. They play great defense, and that is important in college basketball. But I am just not as high on them as some people are. I do think they will be in the top three in the Big10 this year, but I could be biased against them just because the fact I don't like their style of play. It will be interesting to come back and see how it turns out at the end of the year.

I don't give a toot whether you like him or not. That doesn't change the fact that he's a great player. His footwork is unreal. He might not be a dunker but you have to be athletic to beat his man to spots like he does.

I'd take him on my team any day

eh... he is a good defensive player.. not saying I wouldn't let him on my team - but those nagging type, floppers, talkers... really aren't very lovable on other teams.

I mean he does what he does but jealousy? Not hardly a player to dream of.

I'll just say politically correctly as I can

players like him tend to be over hyped for what I'll call "nostalgic" reasons.
