I am hearing that the ISU freshmen and jucos are looking very impressive. With the 3 solid senior starters they have returning, if they can get some contributions from some of the freshmen ISU will be tough to beat this season.

ISU is tough to beat every game every year - IMO. Not sure I'd like it any other way. Rivalries and stiff competition make for great memorable games.

Agreed completely Mob. However, I would like it if they were always tough WINS, but I suppose that's unrealistic. Though it was nice taking 6/8 during my time on the hilltop.

Drake held their Media Day this week, too. They have 11 new players on their roster.
