    I didn't know we qualified already.

        Eventually it will help, I'd think. Iowa will be bolstered by playing a very tough schedule. The Big Ten is a very good league this year, with 6 ranked teams right now that I can think of (Michigan State, Purdue, Michigan, Ohio State, Minnesota, Illinois). If they post decent results as a league in the upcoming ACC Challenge, then SOS for any league member will climb like crazy as they start playing more conference games. Iowa may stink, but their SOS will help any non-conference team who plays them.

        As FYI, Creighton plays Michigan in a few weeks.

          We better not get ahead of ourselves. Iowa will bring it to McLeod. Whether they'll suck in the Big 10 this year or not. We better be ready to take care of business and get a win.

            Iowa may 'bring it', but regardless, they are not good enough to be within 20 points of us if we play the efficient defensive style we play...

              Valid point. I wasn't trying to chalk up an easy win. PTTB also brought up a very good point. By jacking up lots of three's, they will be very dangerous on nights where they can't miss. We've lost to some teams/players who just started launching. Both Iowa and UIC last year come to mind.

                The same "efficient defensive style" that led us to spank Denver by 6 points?

                Just sayin' . . . we best not get ahead of ourselves . . .

                    I'm not sure it matters what "we" do, but I'm sure the UNI Men's Basketball team will take Iowa very seriously.

                      They weren't the last two years either...

                        I agree. i am an NICL alum and the entire conference is tough.

                          The problem with facing a team like Iowa is teams like that can have strange nights where they just shoot out of their minds.

                            Hopefully "they" do! Because it doesn't sound like too many fans on PN are . . .

                            We (UNI) were good enough to beat them the last few seasons and didn't. It's time to get a WIN!

                              which seems to never happen to opposing teams in the McLeod Center. Has UNI had a big win in the Mcleod Center yet?

                                Surely we did not win the conference last year without any big home wins.
