So Iowa will play a game vs one of the Mayan Division(is this a good omen right before the Mayan end of the world deal?) at Carver,then play a regular two game tourny in the Rivera Division in Cancun? If we end up playing DePaul and WSU, those are respectable RPI schools,simply by their own schedules being respectable.
As we found out this year, we need to try to avoid playing 300+ RPI teams,and of course avoid losses to anyone above 100RPI.
DePaul is bad again this year. Oliver Purnell is in his second year,like Fran,but is further behind. Now, one sidenote, former Iowa assistant Billy Garret's son,Billy jr. is a top 50 player and will attend DePaul to play for Purnell and his dad,who is now an assistant for the Blue Demons. Could be an interesting matchup at pg between two frosh if Gesell is starting at that point. Garrett will be starting, I suspect.
WSU is a consistent winner anymore,so I suspect a win over them would not hurt Iowa at all,and might help,and a loss is not disasterous but disappointing,to be sure.
Looks like a fun week for fans tho...might check this out.
