Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

  • After Iowa State won the Big 12, a Cyclone made a wonderful offer to We Will that now increases our match. Now all gifts up to $400,000 between now and the Final 4 will be matched. Please consider giving at We Will Collective.

Hawks playing average team after average team.

Good for them to win but when was the last time they played a decent team?
Didn't I hear that Iowa has four wins over top 10 teams this season? Oh wait, that was Iowa State, Iowa hasn't even played a team in the top 10 this season yet.

Wait realignment news! UConn joined the Big Ten. Clearly for their football.

When jorbo talks about 1/4 of college basketball games being fixed, is he talking about games like these? Or just ones Iowa loses.

Not saying this was fixed. Just life on the road.

Home cooking and 30 free throws a game doesn't happen in the NCAA TOURNAMENT
This is reason #1 for Fran’s post season “success”

This strategy of our FTing the other team just doesn’t work. You are playing in a window in a made for TV tournament. The refs just aren’t going to call a lot of fouls. Fouls make games take longer, and they want games to finish in time.
