Message: [QUOTE="UConNick, post: 4172578, member: 3806"] I’m worried for Iowa State and marginally surprised to still see them ranked. Yes, they’re clearly in a better universe compared to their team last year, but I don’t think they’re the top-10, NC threat some fancied them at the end of noncon play. Perhaps if they’d come out on the right side in that road KU loss, I wouldn’t be so bearish on them. But the XII is obviously a gauntlet and will wear them down even further. I’ll probably fade them more often than not down the stretch. As for UConn, all I can do is reiterate the optimism others have already stated in this thread; we find our stride and the BE title (and a protected seed) will be in play. [/QUOTE]
