ESPN's take on our upcoming season

They have us listed as a top mid major but they ding us for scheduling Belmont twice.

Wonder how they meant it?

I think they mean we will regret scheduling Belmont twice because it will be very difficult to sweep them, thus hurting our resume

On the other hand, the prospect of a split if ISU loses the initial contest might salvage some respect come selection day...a degree of insurance.

Interesting that they give us a six on their toughness scale. That's pretty good and many here have been complaining about our schedule.
