Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

[madguy30]

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.

I was thinking more towards his past medical issues.

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

Ah, in all seriousness there is that.

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?

I bet he'd love to come back just to get shut down by one of our guards again

Oh come on. Everybody knows he was injured!
(Even though he played more minutes than ANY other player in the game).

Had to laugh at this...although..that is partly true. but only on the same day. haha.

YOu cannot lift same day you play bball. other than that you are right and I laughed my a ss off reading it.

Jordan lifted on game days. But, what does he know?

Wilson ball again?

We were so off shooting the ball again. I know some of that was due to TCU’s defense, but I’m wondering if they were using the stupid Wilson ball again? I like Sanford but he is struggling from the 3 this year. He needs to come off the bench. Uhlis has definitely improved and I’d rather he be...

OMG Iowa lost to TCU lol

 

[Lafaester54]

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.

I like Sanford too but Lamont is really underrated.

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....

It doesn't seem to be bothering Bang Bang Niang much. He has been lighting it up some games.

He's not soft.

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