Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

[Rebel]

B1G teams are running and shooting blue bloods out of the gym tonight while a Big 12 team loses to D II Fort Hays State by 13.

Complete team effort by Iowa tonight.

Murray and Toussaint player their roles to perfection tonight.

Yes they did. Murray is going to be really special.

Garza is an amazing college player. Definitely early 2nd rounder IMO. He would be a great project/Energy guy off the bench.

He is the opposite of what the NBA is looking for in a bench big. Very low upside, his best skill is scoring back to the basket (which is basically gone from the league), average rebounder, and basically non-existent as a rim protector. He can shoot the 3 so I guess he has value as like a Steve Novak floor spacer.

Why are you trying to discredit this win? Iowa is legit.

I'm not. I'm not sure why I can't post interesting facts

 

[CyTwins]

Petras level special or Brents level special?

 

[CyHawk1605]

Petras level special or Brents level special?

I think at the level of Keorner

I watched 3/4 of the game. My takeaways

Frederick and Wieskamp were great

Bohannon struggled against pressure but hit a lot of 3's. He's so awful defensively

Nunge and Garza struggled

Iowa's defense is bad

Fran's kids are terrible

PMac is fine. He does his job the way he needs to. Same deal with Conner. Conner is a facilitator not a shooter. He plays decent defense too. Nunge did struggle I agree. Garza was being freaking doubled every time. Of course he isn’t going to be phenomenal every time he touches the ball.

Garza will make his money playing in Europe, I looked at 5 draft projections for the 2021 draft, none had him listed in the 1st round, one had him listed as the 53 pick to NJ. Hell two had Foster listed in their draft selections, one ahead of Garza.

As good as a college player as he is, he just doesn't have the skill set to play in the NBA.

If 16 & 14 is a night where Luka struggled, I think they are going to be just fine.

Patrick and Connor are both bad at basketball

And 4 blocks.

ISU is bad at basketball

Patrick is a 20 year old red shirt freshman, he was born March 20th 2000, Tyrese Haliburton birthday is Feb. 29th 2000. He is a lotto pick in the NBA, after playing two full seasons at ISU and is 3 weeks older than Patrick, who is still playing his red shirt freshman year at EIU.

I can't disagree with you there just like you can't disagree with what I said

And 4 blocks.

Garza struggled tonight. He's still great. That wasn't a shot at him if anything it's a compliment Iowa won while he struggled

He missed a season due to residual health issues from thyroid cancer.

Fran also held him and Connor back in school it appears

Iowa will have a game in the tournament where they won't be hitting 17 3s. And their defense will abandon them enough to be upset...then Garza is done and Francis will be back at square one. Just have patience.
