Did I miss a news story or did someone take all the pens out of Barta‘s office?

Surely Fran just signed a raise and extension just in time to not make it to the sweet 16 again.

If we've learned anything, EIU doesn't announce B-Ball extensions. It takes a local beat reporter randomly noticing the new contract month's later to report it. Then they get put on Barta/Fran's list.

Okay I feel better.

Death, Taxes, and Barta/Fran debacles. Somethings in life are just certain.

Thread should be retired or name changed now that Fran has
made it 50% of of the way to matching Steve Prohm's post season history.
I do think the name could be changed. Fran did well down the stretch this year, team didn't crumble at all.

Might as well just retire it.

Tough Day for EIU Hoops Hopes is a good enough catch-all for Iowa MBB thread.

Nice first half, there hoks. I watched Richmond when they played Drake in Des Moines in December. They aren't that good. Says a a lot about Jay Bowe and crew. Keep chucking up that basketball, Jay. One shining moment ...

It sure looks pretty when it's going in. This Iowa team is the definition of live and die by the 3...

Way up there
Iowa got worked in the paint by an a-10 team. Been saying it all year but they could've really used nunge.
