Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

  • After Iowa State won the Big 12, a Cyclone made a wonderful offer to We Will that now increases our match. Now all gifts up to $400,000 between now and the Final 4 will be matched. Please consider giving at We Will Collective.

Patrick only 16 of those I think. I wonder if playing consecutive days is something he’s not, nor maybe ever will be, physically capable of.

November basketball should be when legs are at their freshest but I can totally see Hok fan players riding out the 'Thanksgiving week is such a grind' mantra.

Sucking badly can get you cut off at 16 minutes even by your dad.

Maybe. I have two family members who’ve gone through it with no effect on their stamina, etc. Not college athletes though.

Probably hard to tell if Fran still rotates just to rotate. I've never been convinced that Connor would get time at very many places in general but does he still get thrown out there to run up and down the court?

Iowa getting RUN by TCU right now. They can't handle teams that play defense and go downhill with the ball
OMG Iowa lost to TCU lol
Watched the game. Iowa’s front court looks pretty soft, their guards better than I thought. I was impressed with TCU, they looked really good and not much drop off with their substitutions.
Well coached they will be a tough matchup.

everyone is bagging on Iowa, but they remember last year and will play like it is their Super Bowl when we go to Iowa City. I wouldn't be surprised if they beat us.

I'll admit it: I hate that ball. It sucks. But both teams have to use it.

It is always shocking to see how year after year a D1 program can have so many weak, soft kids. Most of their players have arms that look like a bunch of 12 year olds. It’s like Fran is some HS coach in the 1990s arguing with the football coach because he doesn’t want the kids lifting weights because it will wreck their shots.
Hey, Iowa's weight room specializes in Pilates and yoga. Their guys are extremely flexible.

Only problem I have with that is I have 0 idea who's gonna score for them in the game. Murray got shut down last night and nobody on that team could guard anything. We know the blueprint on how to beat them. Once we get a little lead and beat them down a little they'll quit

Wilson is now the ball in the NBA. Even fewer Hoks will make it the the league now....

And? What does that have to do with bagging on Iowa?
