hopefully the Hawks step it up after the big tournament that was rough :\

I see it coming down between Oklahoma State and Penn State. I wouldn't be surprised if Mizzou, Minnesota, and Iowa winning, but I am not expecting them to. Iowa finishing 3rd would make me happy.

Hopefully McDonough meets up with Delgado in the semifinals and wins.
