I should have worded it differently...more of 'on the surface' I guess.
ISU did those things but had some major bumps like super low scoring games, etc.
Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

Your regularly scheduled post reminding you that every day is a tough day in Iowa City.
Our season was a little more up and down but I think a lot of that had to do with it being the first year those guys had played together, a brand new staff + first year head coach, and playing in the best league in America.
Yeah and ISU's season should have had a lot of that but throughout it all they were tough.
Anything ISU or the B12 does doesn't phase B1G fans though. If/when the B1G gets like 9 teams in the tourney they won't be able to talk enough about it.
Oh for sure lol and 75% of those teams will be an 8 seed or higher. Big 12 is going to have probably 6 teams at the 5 seed and above.
Nope. Iowa doesn’t have a capable replacement for Rebraca and PMac doesn’t eat into Murray’s minutes anyway.
Just under 14,000 people showed up to the West Virginia game at Hilton on Tuesday 3/3, the last home game of the season you’re referring to.
Iowa had just over 13,000 show up this last Sunday vs Maryland.

No, Iowa has is not a good basketball team. If you look at all of their "big" wins, they've had to have hot shooting for every one of them. They aren't going to grind out a win against a good team.
Michigan St played terrible, they missed what felt like 15 shots right at the basket. Those were two bad teams.
They'd have beat Michigan State by 20 if it was a home game, they'd have shot better AND shot a ton of FTs there like they almost always do.
They get to rest on the defensive end, they'll be fine.
The B1G is benefiting from the ACC being awful. No,the B1G isn't good either but look at the ACC's NET. One Team in the top 25 and ten teams outside the top 50. This is historically bad for what has been considered the premier basketball conference.
Louisville in dead last with a 2-18 record. My, how times have changed.
In their defense I remember how much iowa fans and the big ten media defended us when Chris Babb got hurt against Ohio State. Or how about when Georges Niang broke his ankle against NC Central?
Remember how the local media and hok fans pounded the table about how ISU was obviously an elite team and how unfair it was that our opponents got such an easy draw? Remember how they wouldn't let our opponents hear the end of it?
Oh wait... that's right... The exact opposite happened. Weird.
Yep again it's a reflection of college bball being down.
Football season was similar. All sorts of average teams.
