Message: [QUOTE="IWearShoes, post: 3082510, member: 8649"] My comment wasn't about Mississippi State. It was about Iowa. There's probably a decent reason why MSU is likely to be a 1 seed or the 1st 2 seed and Iowa isn't in that discussion. Could be that... MSU is a more complete team. They get 18 a game from their star and score 86, while Iowa is VERY dependent on Gustafson, who provides 28 of their 80 points a game. Iowa is 11-6 away from home. Miss State is 16-1 (Oregon was the 1). Iowa beats teams by 12 on average. Miss State by 28. Massey also says MSU beats Iowa 3 outta 4 times by an expected 8 point margin. I think it would be a war if they played, but would not fear that matchup nearly as much as any of the other possibilities among the Top 8. MSU also went 18-1 vs that weak SEC this year winning by an average of 20 points. They were pretty dominant. [/QUOTE]
