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

[bizzle]

This big win against mighty east Illinois will definitely help our resume come selection Sunday. Give me a break.

Are you just literally incapable of accepting that he is not ready to play at the level required to get minutes?

I dont know why we aren't allowed to discuss Omaha , but right now it's just us diehards watching these Espn+ games and reading these threads.

Wait until the rest of the fanbase starts tuning in starting in a couple weeks and wonders what's going on.

Well you can inform them since you know what's going on.

Big margins of victories help NET ranking, which will need help as the conference will be tough sledding.

Coaches don't clear their benches with 10 minutes left. Pretty much ever.

We can’t get any higher in the net without actually playing good teams. We currently have no Q1 wins.

That's because a bus from Chicago stopped by Hilton and stole all the Q1 wins

If my math (and my memory from adding it up 20 minutes ago) is correct, Curtis is 23-65 from 3, for 35%. He's been great after a cold start.

And probably aren't going to jump Purdue, AZ, or Houston anyway so for now, ride out a high ranking and hope for 8ish conference wins for a tourney bid.

…and, that would have been our best 3 pt shooter at this time last season, but this year, there are 3 players above 40%

I'm kinda starting to not even count anything before DePaul.

Half kidding but his timing has been very different.

People are free to discuss it, but another thread on it isn't necessary (and I don't believe it's productive or helpful either). No one is throwing out new speculation or insight at this point, just retreading old ones over and over.

 

[Clone95]

it’s great C Jones’ shooting has come around so well because he has been solid in every other phase of the game all season. Doesn’t turn it over, rebounds well and plays good defense. You have to have him on the court to go with the 4 guard lineup that TJ likes. I think that Tamin, Pav, Gilbert, C Jones, and Rob or Tre lineup will be leaned on a lot in crunch times.

Swing and miss man. Yikes

I figured we’d have a higher ceiling than that.

This team really has a lot of versatility (even more once Ward is back). Can go big or small

We are forcing A LOT of turnovers this year, leading to good buckets.

I forgot there was a game tonight, duh. I'll go ISU 95 - 56. After the fact, but.

I've just started watching it now.

 

[NWICY]

I predict an "off" night.

Iowa State 81, Eastern Illinois 57

Damn you are good at this game

 

[RagingCloner]

It's been free money all season so far against these 300+ KenPom teams. Luck will run out eventually but can't walk away from a hot table!

Woof. Time to walk away yet?

This 7 plus Ward are going to be the Big 12 rotation. Time to get things tightened up for that group to hit the ground running in league play.

I still don’t think we are playing our best basketball yet. Still need to gel more. I think individually they re playing good. When everything starts to click I think we’re gonna be good
