Message: [QUOTE="undersized, post: 4426802, member: 11260"] Agree on this. Iowa did look absolutely terrible today (they are definitely not #4 on my BY ballot), but Drake is not a cupcake team by any metric. They had a down year (19-14 overall record) last year transitioning to a new coach, yet still notched wins over Creighton and Missouri. They've returned all the key pieces from that squad. (Berg, Bier, Meyer, Dinnebier) I think it's awesome that all the Iowa schools (Iowa, Iowa State, Northern Iowa, Drake) play each other every season. It helps that all four programs are typically strong enough that it's a mutually beneficial move for everyone's RPIs/NETs. Drake finished NET #80 last season, and if they have just a marginally better season this year, today's game can end up as a Quad 1 win on Iowa's resume, despite its ugliness. :cool: [/QUOTE]
