But Murray State has a basketball savant at the helm.
I mean…he’s also a good salesman to be able to convince JP it was a good idea to hand him the keys to a corvette and he turned it into a conversation van with 2 flat tires

I remember that game. Utah was very good. They had Keith Van Horn and a point guard who didn't shoot many threes. Young me loved to emulate Van Horn's high socks on the hardwood. And, Kerry Kittles' too of course. LOL. Hope ISU beats em by 20 plus.
Point guard was Andre Miller, played quite a few years in the NBA!

Utah hasn't beaten anyone this year. Their best win is 9-6 Queens (NC) and that team is horrible. In the Big 12, they lost @ Baylor by 25 and at home by 28 to TTU.

This game should be an ass kicking. It might be close for a bit if ISU starts out sluggish + Utah starts hot from 3. I've watched Utah this year and they're not athletic at all and they chuck threes. They shoot 28.5 threes a game. In comparison, Iowa shoots 27.1. They're a worse version of Iowa.

And they recently gave up 95 to Iowa.

of that 28.5 threes per game -the Madsen twins (from Mayo HS in Rochester) take 15.2 of them. I think they might really really struggle with our guards.

Miro Little, who played at Baylor last year, is their PG and theirs second leading assist person is a 6'8" skinny junior from Mongolia (!!) - Mike Sharavjamts.

Gabe Madsen is their leading scorer at ~16 per game - and he's the only player who averages more than 24 minutes per game. They have 11 guys who average double-digit minutes per game - and all 11 of them had double digit minutes against Baylor, and 10 did against Tech. They are absolutely a mess in terms of who is starting and who is playing / scoring. I guess you could say it's a good idea to find the hot hand in any game and go with them - but it's not a system for long term success.

Who is their coach? Can McFraffery?

Now I want to see what a conversation van looks like.

The only way I know how to play a trumpet anymore haha

The good news: I am way better than I thought I would be after not playing for 12 years.

The bad news: I’m still ******* terrible, but I’ve noticed some improvement the past few weeks.

Awesome seats right next to the court for free, though… definitely a nice benefit of the horn.
