Assuming those that are slotted for the first round end up leaving (Zeller, Olapido, Burke, GRIII, among others who could declare), could you make the argument that Iowa could be the preseason favorite for the big ten, or at least third behind OSU and MSU? They looked awfully good last night and look to have figured out how to close teams. I had no idea how many close losses they had during the B1G season. No. Just no. Iowa's looked awfully good playing other teams who also weren't good enough to make the tournament. Iowa gets some supposed shooters next year and that was their weakness this year (shooting), combine that with the experience factor and Iowa should be a tournament team for sure. I think they could have an outside chance at winning the conference (though there is no way they are favorites) but they'd have to have a lot go right. Having someone who can score consistently who isn't Aaron White or Devon Marble would be a start.
