NC A&T

Creighton played this team last night and won 97-65. We also have another common opponent (Chicago St) that we both face prior to our meeting with them. Going to give some nice data for the coaches to look at prior to our matchup with Creighton.

Kenpom still has us winning the game by 2. Probably the biggest game of the preseason imo.

He moved us up to 54.

That one and the ISU and UNI games will all be a challenge for us.

These two common opponents will show absolutely nothing because they are so bad. Both teams return most of their rosters so last years game tape will show more than simply out running the opposing team.

I think Iowa would be ready to play a team like Creighton after playing these first 3 cream puffs. NCA&T and Northern Illinois are aweful and should not be much of a problem for Iowa.

On one hand, it will be interesting to see, but I agree with Jay.

I don't like the logic of team A beats a bad team by 35, team B beats the same bad team by 45; therefor B is better than A.

Chicago State - Creighton - NC AT - Iowa

They are all part of the Dale Howard Classic, so each will have common opponents.

it does notmatter what we think of the opponent, it gives the players a chance to play in a game that is live action and counts
this also gives the coaches Game Film to break down and show players the mistake they are making and try to correct them, also if a player keeps making the same mistakes then it allows the coaches to cut a players minutes and increase the minutes of another player that is improving and not making mistakes
Iowa's rating was not that great last year either and to the people outside Iowa, we are currently looked at as a creampuff or lousy team as you are so worried about as far as the opposition
as the season moves forward the opponent will get tougher, and we can see how this team is progressing, also if we win by 45-60 i dont care, i would be more worried about a 5-10 point victory over a teams like Chicago State
so rather than p!ss and moan about the condition of the other team, lean back and enjoy the game
one more thing we may have 4 seniors but we are also a young team as we are relying on 3 sophamores and 3 freshmen to play a lot of minutes
