"Watch out for Iowa this season." Yes, MSU is tough at home, but Iowa was a hot mess at both ends of the floor. Ward was 10/10 because he had 10 uncontested layups. Defense was horrid last season but looked better so far this season. It was a mirage. McCaffery cannot miss the NCAA again and keep his job. Can he? .500 in conference might be enough to get in this season, given that the B1G is so strong.
