Tough day for EIU hoops hopes
- Thread starter MuskieCy
- Start date
I had to roll my eyes at the way the announcers kept stating how deep, tough and talented the B1G is this year. They have FIVE teams ranked you know! (35% of conference vs Big 12 at 40-50%)
Hawkeye fans think they are both pro players. I don’t think pro in Europe is what NBA means.
Or intentionally lose to Minnesota so they sneak into the Top 75 (which would elevate their road win there to Quad 1).
We all know Fran presses late in big losses and runs it up against awful teams to help the NET ranking, so I wouldn’t put it past him.
Tyrese Hunter is a freshman and makes his mistakes but he's tougher than anyone that Iowa has had in their backcourt under Fran and it's not close.
Lots of Hok fans will go on for years how Bobo could have been a great 6th man in the NBA if not for his injuries.
Probably something in there how he's such a great teammate for letting Garza do so much scoring.
This is how these people think.
“Iowa football is 8-4 with two guaranted home wins vs FCS creampuffs....sometimes they win close games and schedule is soft and they exceed and get 9 or 10 wins....and then get blown out when they play someone good. Some years they lose the close ones and they are 6-6 or 7-4. This 10 year win was just the normal variation of what you see with KF...backed into B1G title game and then blown out.
Iowa B-ball is 0.500 in B1G over last 40 years. We are going to be around that this year...I suspect we have talent to be 7th place in B1G and make NCAA and Fran is going to coach them to 9th place and NIT.
Last year was the year we waited 11 years in Bball and Fran pissed it down his legs.”
My personal favorite post from that HR thread.

We purposely dribble out the shot clock on our last possession and Iowa responds by flinging up a 3 pointer on their last possession. That, my friends, sums up the entire game.
It’s such a losers mindset to do what Fran does and coaches talk about it. Painter was yelling at Fran from the sideline when Fran called a TO down 12 with 15 seconds left.
Agreed. I will go one further as it represents the difference in culture between the two programs.
I have no problem when the backups try to score, because admit it, we would all do the same thing in that situation. You want to get in the scorebook, but starters doing it is just sad.
It is close but Minny on the road is slightly better (of course Minny was down 4 players and a coach).
road Minny is 5 slots into Q2 (80 vs 75 for Q1)
home Indy is 7 slots into Q2 (37 vs 30 for Q1)
Edit: they have updated NET and now Indy is 36 so 6 out of Q1 while Minny dropped to 87 so 12 out of Q1. Indiana is their best win.

The post is close but I'm not sure what they saw in last year's Iowa team that should have done better.
Is Chishawk Kenyon Murray? Almost seems like it from his postings.This thread is gold. Whoever Chishawk1425 is they must be on the payroll or a relative of a coach or player. Every other poster is eating them for lunch.
Where did you expect Iowa to be at this point of the season?
Lose 3 starters and player of year and Nunge who would have made a HUGE difference on this team. We are exceeding expectations. Win at Penn State and still right there on the right side of the bubble. Goodness people.iowa.forums.rivals.com
I think that's a travel, even with the new "gathering" rules. I think he gathers, first, then steps back into the 3.
Either way, once again Iowa was blown out but they complain about a call that clearly was not the difference in the game. Oh, would you feel better losing by 7 instead of 10?
Yeah that’s a travel and it isn’t close. And the point was to stop allowing the ridiculous gather interpretation that was letting guys travel twice over without being called.
That is a clear travel even in the period when the ridiculous fantasy “gather” interpretation was accepted for a few years.
