Tough day for EIU hoops hopes
- Thread starter MuskieCy
- Start date
Would love to see the reaction on here if Iowa did that and it was a no call that resulted in a wide open three pointer.
I admittedly do not watch every Iowa game. But it seems like Murray has multiple airballs in every game I watch. Have I witnessed an anomaly or does he have more airballs than most?
What's new?
Eastern iowa hasn't made the Sweet 16 in over 24 years. What a sad program.
Iowa picked up their first Quad 1 win on February 19th last year. They racked up a lot of wins against bad teams which credit to last year's Hoks as this year they've lost two of those (Eastern Illinois, Nebraska).

Iowa fans last year: I know you went to the Sweet 16, boat raced us at Hilton and had an historic turn-around but we had the better year.
Iowa fans this year: I know you’re on verge of top 10 with a much stronger resume, but we beat you head to head so we’re the better team.

He had a few last night and I thought it was uncharacteristic of him. I don't recall him having a lot. Even airballed a wide open look too.
I didn't notice the turnovers in the box score initially. You're right, that is inexcusable for a starting point guard. I rescind my original post complimenting Ulis, and uphold that he is trash at the P6 level.
Michigan State was definitely fortunate to win. They shot 38% from 2PT. That is abysmal and their starting backcourt combined to go 7-26 from the field. Yuck.
Murray got neutralized by Malik Hall. That was a big difference on the offensive end for Iowa. Murray look flustered.
Right. That is a program that has flirted with blue blood status over the course of time. They must be abysmal to be ranked sub 300
Hall is a freak athlete that is stronger and faster than Kris and he played really aggressive in your face defense on him. Took Kris out of his game for sure as Kris couldn't shoot over him or drive around him. Usually Kris can either do both of those things or one of those things in a game.
Interesting game for Ulis. He hit a lot of big shots for Iowa on a cold shooting night but the turnovers and missed free throws in crunch time were huge. I still think he was their best guard last night despite the turnovers though.

Thing is, he wasn’t screening…He was rolling to the basket and Murray just kind of fell over. No fight in him at all, just like the second half for him, too. Played weak and scared it seemed.
Top one is nothing. Come on lol
Bottom one you got a legitimate beef. Should be an illegal screen.
1. You gotta play better defense if you're Murray. Not in legal guarding position. Get that weak **** outta here, this is the Big 10.
2. Iowa player flops trying to sell a moving screen that was maybe barely a moving screen...and fails.
Too bad.
It is way worse than Prohm. We aren't playing in a pandemic. Nobody's wearing masks anymore and fans are being allowed back inside gyms. Prohm and the team was awful that year, but they didn't have any buy games, outside of the 2 that that they won. They would have won 5 or 6 games under normal conditions, I think.
Not sure who Louisville's coach is right now, but must not be good. Either that or the Chris Mack and Rick Pitino scandals put them really far behind the 8 ball.
