Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

Nunge is better than Pemsl and Till. It's not even close with Till. Obviously having Nunge at this very moment would be tremendously helpful considering Till is a walkon and not a good one, and Pemsl can't go a few months without getting into trouble. I do think Pemsl would still be getting minutes even if Nunge were healthy. It has happened many times under Fran in which he's played too many guys. Losing Nunge wasn't a huge loss until this very moment of the season.
You don’t expect to be a Nebraska who is now 7-17 overall cause you are missing a player?
Yeah I would agree with that. I was saying that losing those guys hasn't been an issue until this happened. Having those guys available would definitely help at this moment.
It wasn't a loss until right now, in which you're short handed players. Are you saying if Iowa had Nunge, they'd have a few more wins? I don't.
Well we really don't know that. He's never been healthy and I'm sure that's diminished his game a bit, which wasn't astounding to begin with. Having Nunge out has allowed Iowa to put Connor at the 4 and that lineup has been great throughout the year. Kriener still would've seen minutes and Pemsl probably would've too.
Nunge won a starting spot at the beginning of the season on a potential NCAA tournament team. To say he wasn't a loss would be wrong.
This. Fran not having the option to play 12 guys is the best thing that has happened to that team.
He was healthy last year and decided to redshirt
He didn’t contradict himself at all of you actually read what was said instead of trolling.
Saying that thinking Nunge would be a contributor for Iowa is ridiculous and then saying its too early to tell if Nunge is a P5 player seems contradicting.
Just happy that CyTwins moved on from his ridiculous troll about Garza not showing up in the last 10 minutes of games.
Actually in both cases I was saying there isn't enough information or stats to tell whether or not Nunge is a P5 player or would be a significant contributor. His freshman year he averaged 5.7 points. Last year he sat out probably for development, and he tore his ACL this year. Assuming either way that he's good or bad wouldn't be fair to him.
Saying Iowa would be better before last night's game if they had Nunge and Patrick would be very optimistic. Neither of them are proven and thinking Iowa would be better would almost be implying they'd be one of the best teams in the nation. With that said, having them right now for when someone gets suspended and an injury happens would certainly help them out because both of those guys are better than Till and Ash, who are likely going to have to play meaningful minutes going forward.
At this point AJ Green is the only clutch player in the state
Updated All Iowa Team:
Green
Berhow
Bolton
Wieskamp
Garza
Fredrick could sneak back in there if he is able to play again this season and plays well. Bolton would probably have to come off if that happens.
