Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

Good to see you are still a miserable putz
This is why they don't win games in March, when officials are at their sharpest
I mean wash, rinse, repeat lol. Keep beating those “good” Big 10 teams and we’ll keep beating actual good teams to pad Iowa’s resume.
8 strait games against unranked teams. They've played 3 games against ranked teams this year. 3!!
Hah! So we've beaten more teams that were ranked in the top 10 at the time than they've played top 25 teams. That sure is something.
Props to the kid for getting whatever the mental block was out of his head. A month ago, I thought he was cooked as a P6 college basketball player. Had it not been for injuries/Patrick's anxiety issue, he very well may not have continued to receive opportunities to turn it around.
That's what is so baffling about the hawk loss in relation to those two horrid Cyclone defeats in the past. Iowa State losing to Milwaukee and FAMU can be explained away with the just bad ISU team logic, but Iowa lost to Eastern Illinois in the midst of an NCAA tournament type of season because...? Just doesn't make any sense. You sure would've thought that loss paired with getting blasted by Nebraska shortly after, and then losing a starter for several weeks shortly after that would've tanked Iowa's season. Yet here we are in early February and they are still safely in the field.
They have talent but have pretty massively underachieved considering how much talent they have plus how down the Big 10 is.
They picked up 2 really good players from Big 12 teams who likely "transferred down" to either get a bag of cash or have better opportunity to showcase skills against teams that don't defend as well as what they saw in the Big 12
Considering tOSU lost at home to Minny and all sorts of things happen in a basketball season, imo it's not that baffling especially in college basketball's current state.
Iowa hasn't played anyone all that good in a long while which helps them and every other B1G team not named Purdue. They got ISU in a mode that ISU still tends to get into where they're just really bad at times, unfortunately.
It will be funny if Iowa actually wins more than one game in the tourney with all the hype from those other teams that weren't very good.
Nope, we were ranked #20 when we played Iowa. Iowa has not played anyone ranked higher than #15 at the time of their game.
Couldn't find a decent barber in Waco?
Not necessarily, upsets in conference tourneys can take away at large spots the in-season projections can't account for. aTm is a perfect example last year. They finished the season with 23 wins (.500 conference regular season) with a 2nd place finish in the SEC tourney and were left out of the Dance.
Yeah I watched a lot of college basketball yesterday and the crowd in the Iowa game was by far the most unimpressive. Very quiet.
Lol Illinois has losses to NW and Penn St. They are not good at all. Now add a loss to a bad Iowa team to the resume.
