Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

[Statefan10]

Andrew Downs is on sports fanatics right now and the hype train for Iowa bball is full speed ahead. It's time to win a natty! This storied program is thiiiirsty

I honestly don't think some of these guys remember there are other teams bringing back guys. Like Illinois, who finished higher than them, and Wisconsin who finished higher than them. Not to mention MSU who will be real good again. Then you have Duke, UNC, KU, Virginia Gonzaga, Villanova, Kentucky and Baylor who will all be good again. Baylor's going to be the best team in the nation I think.

Has a team ever won the National Title after 21 straight years of failing to make it to the second weekend?

You are right. Brad Underwood made the round of 32 in his first year as the coach at SFA, which is also the height of Fran's accomplishments in 25 years.

ISU did not crack the Top 45 here.

Lol

Bless his heart.

Obviously Jon knows about the million dollar shoe deal

Neither of our transfers are eligible, therefore, that's not a surprise at all.

Yeah, that must be the reason.

Gonzaga outside the top 5, or top 3 for that matter, made me chuckle

Lol

It's SO cringeworthy that he calls his own son #55 instead of Luka. Like really creepy. But nobody with a brain thinks Frank isn't creepy..... and shady as hell.

I actually feel for Luka having an overbearing father like that.

This will just make their failure all the more enjoyable. Mad Fran is going to feel the pressure and create a whole new level of memes.

Fran loses his mind and gets ejected in meaningless games.... just think what he would do if Iowa ever played in a meaningful game and things weren't going his way?

Exactly. It will be wildly entertaining. I would feel guilty being this ghoulish. But it is EIU...

So who on here is kcbob?

 

[SplitIdentity]

He's the best player in the nation on a national title contending team. He deserves love.

I don't know why people are rating this comment funny and dumb. Obviously Fran's track record of getting to the finals of post season tournaments speaks for itself.

Setting up to be a pretty magical season for Mad Fran and crew. Should be fun.

Goes by the same name here. He is really making a difference out there on the Twitter.

Come on dexterhawk, I thought you were better than this.

I would hope he was joking, buuuut he's a bit of an idiot like most of the other resident Hawk fans here.
