Message: [QUOTE="ISUnorth, post: 5035698, member: 11911"] Going to be an interesting non-conference for Iowa State. Fennelly almost never plays much in the way of top tier Div 1 teams in NC, usually a mix of regional mid-majors and Iowa. Will be a good test for the upstart Cyclones to measure how far they need to go to play with Final Four level teams. With all of the transfers in the early games might be a bit dicey as they integrate the newbies into the lineup. They might get roughed up some but than they have another 20 games to improve before the NCAA's and any sort of repeat matchups with Final Four level teams. Biggest hurdle for ISU will be playing better defense than they historically have. [/QUOTE]
