Iowa Basketball Today

Posted 01-30-2012 at 11:54 AM by sportstalent

When this season started for Iowa, there were a few questions heading into the season. The questions have been answered, but to many, not the way fans would like them to be.

Will Melsahn average a double double and be and all-conference selection?
Well, this one was answered fairly early in the season and it is a resounding no. Basabe heading into this season as a known, rather than an unknown. This is one point that could have had some effect on his play.

Here is a preview to the season for JV and Varsity:

JV: There are high expectations with this group because the freshmen lost only one match in two seasons in middle school. However, we all know it isn't the same once one moves on to high school. The good news is that there are two or three kids on this that could have made Varsity. The season outlook is good after we played a lot of our league schools this Summer.
