What are your expectations for your Hawkeyes this year?
The B1G will be deep this year, but it won't be very top heavy. I only see one top 16 team this year, but luckily it is us. We're fucking stacked, and should be the best team in America. Michigan State, Ohio State, Michigan, Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, and Illinois should all be tourney teams, but it's tough to see any of them making the Final Four.
There's a lot to look forward to from my Longhorns. Probably the best team that nobody is talking about. We return EVERY single player - and add blue chip Miles Turner.
I think a better overall team. From some of the rumors I have heard throughout the offseason, Roy Devyn Marble's ego split the team last season around halfway through the season. Really messed up Aaron White's focus.
If that is true, I expect Aaron White to be like he was 2 seasons ago. Iowa also has great talent coming back. Olaseni should be really good as the big guy. I am hoping for Uthoff to really shine. I'm am really hoping Woodbury has developed and is a lot better 7' player. Gesell can be great 3-point shooter.
I am hopeful that the Gophers stay healthy enough to contend this year. We have an experienced group of starters, but not a ton of depth. Mathieau and Hollins will be solid on the wing, Walker and Elliason holding down the middle. I actually think we could see the greatest improvement from Joey King at the forward position and he supposedly had a great off-season when it comes to strength/conditioning. We need a guy like Josh Martin or Daquain McNeil to step it up for the team and provide some additional quality minutes.
