It’s not close really. Iowa State looks like the late 2010’s Warriors out there.
They blasted the consensus number one team to start the year out of the water on their home court. We aren’t going to be the only team to get blown out by them this year.Every single player in the rotation shoots over 46% and 8 of the 10 shoot over 50%. That’s actually absurd shooting.
We obviously contributed a lot to that data set.
My goodness though…
That doesn’t mean squat in college. Iowa State would be favored if they played Duke.Iowa St looks good, but I’ll still say Duke is the best team we’ll play. Who is the pro on Iowa St?
Michigan and Iowa State are the best teams in the country
Not everyone saw the sky falling after that loss.Maybe we were too hard on ourselves in analyzing; they're up 23 on No. 1 Purdue at Purdue with 7 to go.

Arizona is also a step above everyone else too.Michigan and Iowa State are the best teams in the country
No chance they’d be favored on a neutral. No shot.That doesn’t mean squat in college. Iowa State would be favored if they played Duke.
I think Michigan is the best team, but it’s not like they’re unbeatable. Wake almost beat them.Michigan and Iowa State are the best teams in the country
Yes they would. ISU has a higher KP rating.No chance they’d be favored on a neutral. No shot.
Exactly! I was going to say the same thing.Yeah we've sort of seen this Purdue movie already. Lots of hype, good team, and seem underwhelming athletically.
Yeah. Purdue is really good, playing at home and ISU beat the snot out of them.You guys are nuts. Purdue has averaged 30 wins the past 4 seasons and they’ve won the same amount of tournament games Duke has the past two seasons. They beat Bama in Bama and beat Texas Tech by 30 this year.
Gonzaga is very good too. Maybe a step below ISU and Michigan. Unfortunately for them just so happened to play Michigan. Otherwise they’ve destroyed everyone too.Right now top 4 teams in the country look like Iowa State, Michigan, Arizona and Duke.
Duke’s issue is that Cam Boozer must stay healthy. Arguably best player in country and without him Duke is much more beatable.
