Iowa -- Happy thanksgiving

First chance to post on Iowa today. Now, given my extraordinary powers of reasoning, I'm gonna say they're pretty good given that, you know, they've made the final and all that.

But let's see here . . . Sagarin ratings (yes, I know i've already declared them useless, but it's something to talk about) say Iowa is 27th and we're 41st through the games of yesterday. The point spread is supposedly 11.5 in favor of the Heels. My guess is that we're the better team, but playing 3 days in a row makes the benches a big factor, and I just plain don't know about Iowa's bench one way or the other. If they're deep and we lull into another soft second half, we could lose it.
