Very powerful field, for the most part.

I see three potential great first round games and if Senior brings their A game, it could be all four.

#1 Pleasant Valley vs. #8 Dubuque Senior
PV by 14.

#4 Dowling Catholic vs. #5 West Des Moines Valley
Obviously these two teams are very familiar with each other. Valley is the better team and handle Dowling with a 15 point win.

#2 Council Bluffs Abraham Lincoln vs. #7 Cedar Falls
AL by 9. Cedar Falls had a great win over Linn-Mar, but there week off hurts them.

#3 Des Moines Hoover vs. #6 Iowa City West
Having seen both of these teams play I think ICW wins by 6. This is the game where you wish there was a shot clock in the Iowa High School Basketball. Hopefully it is not a 26-20 game.

#2 Council Bluffs Abe Lin vs. #7 Cedar Falls
Abe Lin by 10. Other really good first round game.

#3 Des Moines Hoover vs. #6 Iowa City West
Iowa City by 10+.

Who should be considered the favorite in this year's tournament? The past 3 or 4 years it was definitely Iowa City West

 

[EastIowaHawk]

Extremely strong field, but I'll go with IC West. Won't be easy though.
