<p>Altho, this has been a very tough year for the 'Cats - they have a pretty good shot at beating a mediocre Iowa team tonite (w/ Peljusic starting to develop into a viable option at center - altho, he still needs to gain some mass).</p>
<p>The 'Cats are basically a thin team (w/ 3, maybe 4 viable B10 starters) - but there are reinforcements on the way w/ a good recruiting class coming in next year (Shurna, Freundt and a much needed big man - Curletti) and a sharpshooter and heir apparent to Moore already committed for 2009 (Marcotullio).</p>
<p>However, things will even be better if Carmody is able to get one of the top3 players in Illinois and the best big man for 2009, Kyle Rowley (who is a beast at 7'0" and 280 lbs - who plays for Lake Forest Academy, just to the North).</p>
<p>Rowley is on campus and will be attending the game tonite - so show your SUPPORT!</p>
