Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

[Rogue52]

The most surprised person in the arena to see the ball bank in was JBo.

Nightmare sports season for you, huh

Because ISU is doing way better than anyone expected?

No, because Iowa is.

No, because Iowa is.

Who is exceeding their expectations more this year?

ISU by far. Kicked Iowa's a** too, which is nice.

Seems like that game was a season defining moment for you. Trajectories have sure gone in opposite directions since then.

As you Iowa fans have always said about football.... all that matters is the head to head matchup. ISU owned Iowa this year in men's basketball.

Sure did. Congrats.

Sure did. Congrats.

Thanks!

Iowa couldn't handle our D.... still wouldn't be able to now either. Not sure if we could score enough right now to win though or not?

A lot due to the conferences both are in.

Yeah I don’t think you could’ve convinced really anyone that it would have ended like this. Recruiting is weird! It’s like Tyrese Haliburton.. A kid that chose us really over UNI and now he’s a top young PG in the league and trending towards all-star status. Or Ja Morant who was found at an AAU tournament while playing 3v3 on a side hoop.

NBA game has changed a lot. TH and Morant being studs is perfect example. 6 years ago I wouldn't have thought either had the build to make it in the league. I would've been wrong.

I mean iowa is averaging 46 pts in the 6 halves of bball over the past few days. Draw your own conclusions.

 

[davegilbertson]

Honestly... that's high praise.

Preseason that would've been seen as a wildly successful year.

Now we have posters questioning TJ and wringing hands over red flags.

Well, they are in the defense optional league.

Jackson state must have big 12 level defense then.

 

[Halincandenza]

Iowa is playin really well right now. Tomorrow should be a great game.

Do you think the B1G has good defenses?

Did Indiana defend well at the end of today's game?

I’m not arguing any of that, because frankly I don’t care.

But you care about Jackson State.

 

[SplitIdentity]

But you care about Jackson State.

Not really.
