*** Official Eastern Illinois vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[inCyteful]

This team played KU tough so probably not going to be our usual 30-40 point beatdown. Plus guys will have one eye on the holidays. ISU by 15.

Problem is we have already peaked.

TJ missed the opportunity to build his bench in earlier games.

All down hill from here

So excited to head up to Ames to play my trumpet badly for you all later!

Hard to predict a 30 point win after they played KU that close. I'm sure TJ is telling the team the same thing.
82-55 Cyclones

90-52 cyclones win and cover

Fran is not our coach

Judging by TJ's reaction to the last game, I am expecting that defense will be the first and second focus of tonight's game. I'll guess 75-51

The fam and I will be in the house tonight, looking forward to some Hilton Magic!

That's kinda creepy...Same exact date a year ago, same spread that we have tonight against them.

They were also smoked by Loyola(Ill.). So why they may be a step above Grambling St., Prairie View, Green Bay and Lindenwood........they aren't in any danger of cracking the top 25. I'm thinking your prediction is reasonable.

 

[NoCreativity]

Murray and Connor McCaffrey were both out last year against them so not surprising they lost.

I wouldn't be shocked if we dont win this one the same way we've beaten other buy game teams. Eastern Illinois has been a little fiesty in these games. Beat Iowa of course but also hung with Kansas in AFH. We'll still probably win by like 20 or so but they wont roll over and die like some of the others weve played

They also haven't beaten anybody ranked in the top 350 and just lost to #344 Central Arkansas.

They very much are not a good team that played out of their minds in Phog Allen (and in Carver last year).

Analytics say we should win 88-53, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was much closer. We should know in the first 5-6 minutes.

How can a sub 300 team play KU close?

They also beat #358 Coppin St in a 48-46 barn burner, so you never know

 

[HFCS]

Murray and Connor McCaffrey were both out last year against them so not surprising they lost.

I looked up the box score out of curiosity and saw Iowa had two players shoot 0-7 from 3 point which is basically the same as a bunch of turnovers.

My strategy is don't have two high volume 3pt shooters make zero 3s.
