Drake @ Iowa

Re: Drake @ Iowa

So I guess I'm not sure what you are trying to say exactly. A team shouldn't be considered to be a good team unless they win a road game this early in the season, even if they beat a Top 15 team that made it to the Elite Eight last year, just because they lost on the road to a team that made it to the Sweet Sixteen last year? Does St. Mary's have to beat Top 10 Texas at Texas for you to give them credit? How do you know Nebraska's not any good? They're 8-2 last time I checked with some decent victories. Objectively, I think that Nebraska and St. Mary's are probably better than us right now, considering we lost to a bad Iowa team on our own floor.

Look, you're certainly entitled to your own opinion on this. It just appears that you have a very narrow standard of what makes a good team a good team. I just hope that our coaches and players aren't as dismissive about Drake as you seem to be.

I'm not dismissive of Drake, they're off to a good start. Kind of like last year, and the year before. Look where they ended up.

As for teams being good by winning away from home. Yes, look at Southern Illinois. Everyone fears them for what they have done in the recent past, but this year they are REALLY struggling away from SIU Arena. You can't really look to the past in order to say a win is great, after all we beat a Final Four team (UMass) and that home win to Iowa wasn't that bad because they were a Final 4 team too Except that is history.
