Tough day for EIU hoops hopes
- Thread starter MuskieCy
- Start date
So those comments are in response to a video showing Omaha Biliew doing a between the legs dunk in the final moments of the game.
Iowa fans instantly started trashing him for it and were racist about it.
Another 3 game home stand? How does this happen twice in a conference season? Or is one of the games the postponed NW game?
Correct, they put that NW remake game inbetween 2 home games.
This guy is jelly! You can tell that it is eating him alive that CSP didn't end up doing to ISU what Lick did to the Hoks.
Taking 3 years to get good is strong development?
We're watching smaller schools players develop into legit P6 players in 1/2 a season.
CSP did worse. 2 twenty loss seasons is cratering.
Iowa just followed with someone who couldn't do in a decade what it took Otz to do in one season.
True, I’m pretty entertained watching them get bounced the first weekend of the tournament.
Who has Fran really developed? Garza's dad went and sought outside help to develop Luka. Maybe you could credit him for Keegan, but I can't think of many other guys that got significantly better throughout their career.
I realize that CSP's last year was worse than Lick - but the results AFTER CSP were NOT the same (like you pointed out) & that is what I was meaning. The hok fan was probably expecting ISU to be in the crapper for the next few years & boy, was he completely wrong!
That guy is a Hawkeye fan, I assume? He should know better. They have had players improve, but not because of Fran. If Garza and the Murrays got better due to Mad Fran, that's a well-kept secret.

If anything, the Murrays were held back by McCaffery playing his boys.
At the same time they rip on the transfer thing which TJ used to plug into his very good plan for the program.
They got their big win in December so whatever.
One thing is true, Fran has recruited lightly-recruited/MVC-bound players (many from Iowa) who have large chips on their shoulders. Those types of guys tend to out-work many who have greater talent. Also, in Fran's system, these players can use 90% of their work time (in and outside of practice) working on their offensive game. That's how you'll end up with a Jorbo, Dix, or Sandfort who can often shoot lights out, but their team may still end up losing ('cuz those guys can't guard a paper sack). You also have the Melsahn Basabe types who come in with hype, but leave without really getting any better. Even Tyler Cook did not progress like he should have. He should have been developed like Fizer was - dribbling and outside shooting - to prepare him more for the NBA.
