While there is plenty of justifiable reason to be excited for Iowa Men’s Basketball this year, there’s plenty to be excited for with Lisa Bluder’s squad as well. Last season the big question was how the team would respond to losing all-around super-star and Big Ten Player of the Year Megan Gustafson — and it resulted in Kathleen Doyle taking over as Big Ten Player of the Year in her senior season before being drafted by the Indiana Fever in the WNBA Draft.
This year, there are questions again about Bluder’s squad, but plenty of talent remaining on the roster, despite Doyle and Makenzie Meyer’s departure.
