Don.t you know they have the master of defense on the bench? He even wrote a book about it, didn't read it but wrote it.
Tough day for EIU hoops hopes
- Thread starter MuskieCy
- Start date
All I'll say is Ksu has two marquee wins and no bad losses. I don't know that iowa is on another level from them. There's a good argument to be made that ksu has a better resume than Iowa.
No game data point really screams iowa should be in the top 50. It's all a scheduling thing. They haven't beaten any top 75 team on the road. They've only beaten 1 tournament quality team all year and that was a home court outlier to beat #32 indiana.
And give it time, Rutgers still may end up being a really bad loss. They are pushing tier 3 status.
Their inflated offensive numbers and gaming the schedule is the only reason they aren't on the outside looking in.

Supply chain issue with yarn. Knitters had to cancel out.
KState has had a tough schedule for sure. I figured they'd be awful this year and they're "eh."
I am still of the opinion that Mark Turgeon will be their next HC.
100% correct. They are 0-4 in quad 1 games. Even their Virgina win is not quad 1, which is admittedly tough luck on their part and out of their control.
I'd go so far as to say tonight is a big swing game that puts them on the bubble at best if they win. If they lose, they are in serious danger of being firmly under the first 4 out mark with few opportunities to climb out of it on their schedule.
Who are all of those? Iowa and Fran's problem isn't athleticism, it's defensive effort.
He's playing the 5 spot too so it complicates his weakness or makes it more glaring. If he was a 4 as we agree strength would be less of an issue. I thought he was going to be a better shooter. Fran needs to upgrade the 5 spot next year via the portal
Mulvey probably just needs to hit the weight room more. Not much of a difference between his size and Nunge's, who's been really solid at Xavier.
Nunge is very fluid. He was great with his length but he's like 24 and Mulvey is 18. I think Mulvey is years away from Nunge and I don't think ogundele is ever a factor. Portal is a must
I've never understood why Fran barely utilizes the portal. I know he hates it, but I think he could've had even better teams with a couple pieces added.
That looks like Rutgers studied from the lessor known VHS tape: Fran McCaffery, How to make All Big 10. The Aaron White Chapter.
He clearly needs to lower his shoulder just a little more and then flail his arms on the follow through.
Will Mulvey be able to redshirt or has he played in more than 8 games this year?
Most coaches don't have the security Fran does to take on projects over portal guys.
Genuine question, has Fran ever had a true transfer impact player? I can't think of one.
Lol no not like Bob. I do love him though for what he is to our team. The PG spot in particular, but I know that Bohannon and Connor were both at that position and Fran wasn't going to bring in a guy to take their minutes.
I think his theory has been i'll get my guys, develop them, play them and they'll stay because they'll be happy. His theory kind of blew up when 2 guys left him 1 of which I don't blame him for but that stuff happens with college kids. You have to be agressive today or you're going to fall behind
Uthoff is the only one. That one sort of fell into his lap though.
