MVC Non-Con and other games of note

Re: MVC Non-Con and other games of note

Illinois State @ Drexel, 6. Really hope there's a stream for this
Western Carolina @ Wichita, 7
Buffalo @ Evansvlle, 7:05
Looking like at least 2 more wins in the Valley, and hopefully 3. We're at 13-2 right now.

Nothing really of note outside of that

Re: MVC Non-Con and other games of note

I would body and push Dougie around all night long. In his third year he should be a lot further along physically than he is...

Yeah....he got pushed a round pretty much the whole game by a team much smaller than Creighton size wise.

I can't wait to see Jake and Doug match up again this year...

I just wish ESPN3 wouldn't black out games I actually have interest in. C'mon man!

yes, this new strategy by ESPN is terrible.

How does Iowa do it? All that quality competition on the non-conference slate. Glad they could free up an extra home date with the Big 4 Classic being scheduled so they could get some powerhouses to come to Iowa City

Funny part is they gave up a home game with UNI.

Can the same be said for national powerhouses like Coppin State, Texas A&M CC, South Dakota State, and South Carolina State? Didn't think so.

Re: MVC Non-Con and other games of note

You're giving them too much credit, its South Dakota, not SDSU.

SDSU actually has a pulse...

Re: MVC Non-Con and other games of note

My bad, SDSU has one really good player.

Then what do you say about UT-PanAm, South Dakota, Texas A&M Corpus-Cristi, SC State, Coppin State, etc.

You cannot honestly tell me that UNI and Drake, whether at home or on the road, is not a better game for the fans and players. I don't see how beating these teams by 30-50 points helps a team get better. I would much rather play a team that is going to challenge us. Iowa could have easily scheduled some other mid-majors or teams from power conferences. I'm not saying they have to schedule Kentucky, Duke, and Kansas, but they could have done much better than their current schedule. Just my opinion though.

I thought so too. But one thing I didn't consider is that Fran seems to want to get Woodbury and Gessel a lot of play time and get them going early. The cupcakes do let him start them out more.

And woodbury had what? a whopping 4 points against CMU?

He looked slow and out of place in that game, not what you want to see out of a top 100 recruit.
