Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

There isn't just one that surprises. I guess in the ACC it would be Virginia. Even in a down year Bennett can get them to play good enough to beat an AP 25. After that, 3 in the Big Turd....Illinois, Iowa and Michigan. And then Texas.
There are two (2) replies to this tweet. Both of them are Iowa troll accounts. Obsessed is an absolute understatement.
According to bracketologists.com, they have 5 chances left as of today. vs. #6 Purdue, @ #23 Ohio State, vs #18 MSU, @#42 Michigan, @ #13 Illinois
I'd venture they'll end up getting one of those. Fran once in awhile fails forward and gets a nice win.
However need to factor in the Fran fade
Iowa Hawkeyes Nitty Gritty at Bracketologists
Would need a win tonight vs. Purdue. If not then they’d need to win next Thursday @ Ohio State. 19 days later they get MSU at home and then two weeks after that they play @ Illinois in the final game of the year.
* forgot michigan
holy ****, Iowa lost to Rutgers?? I was on vacation last week and missed it. Damn it, I would have had a good night with a glass of wine and a Hawkeye meltdown.
A lot of whining about a late foul call being the worst call ever in the history of the world, like Kansas didn’t get a three between ISU free throws or something?
It was a terrible call. Kansas getting 3 points while no one was paying attention is actual cheating lol
Or have had two late game goaltends completely ignored JUST THIS YEAR!
The sixth Withey foul getting assessed to a player 20 feet away from the play who certainly didn’t remotely resemble him was special too.
Iowa fans have a right to be upset after that call though, it was bad and I think it's something can all agree on. Was it a foul? Yeah, but that wasn't a foul all game so you have to swallow the whistle there.
Just blame it on our terrible between free throws defense
Was it a blarge? Ref unsure what to call so he calls a foul on both players? Or he assigns it to the wrong player to avoid fouling out a critical player for the other team? Which of those was that?
It may have been inconsistent with the way the rest of the game was called but bodying him under the circumstances seems like a poor decision too
I really think that would of been ticky-tac if that was first foul of the game. It's a week later though.
Tonight's game is biggest game of the year. With a win I think we would be near a lock at this point in season with a loss we will be a 8 seed to bubble type until we beat a quad 1 team. That's a massive difference based off 1 game.
