Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

How does Friday play out?

I dont see how ISU keeps it close. I think something along the lines of a 91-71 Iowa win.

I'm thinking ISU comes out like a house on fire and plays with the most intensity they will all year. Prohm is in the Danny Mac job survival mode in which he knows if he can beat Iowa, he can save his job.

But I still think Iowa is too much for ISU this year despite the motivational edge for ISU.

Iowa 86
ISU 72

I really hope Prohm can keep his emotions in check this time in Carver and not run on the court or lay hands on any of our players.

Too generous. Although yes, could be in the range of outcomes I suppose

I hope the Iowa players won't come after the ISU fans like in Hilton and dive at them!! Disgusting when players go after fans.
 
I think Iowa gets ahead comfortably early on and rests Garza much of the 2nd half. Won't be surprised if this is one of his 30 points in 30 minutes type of games. Bohannon will probably chuck another 16 3's. Weiskamp will be unnoticeably solid as usual. Someone like Frederick, Nunge, or Patrick will probably go off for them.

On our side, I think we'll get behind quickly, but there will be opportunity for some garbage time points in the second half. So look for some freshmen to have decent stat lines. Dubar or Walker or maybe both. I could see Harris jacking up a ton of 3's in this one, too. Solo will have trouble getting going offensively against Garza I think, as unfortunately his big and slow is not quite as big and almost just as slow. No clue how you can attack Iowa without shooters and a decent inside-out game. There will be a lot of turnovers on our end, possibly in the high 20s, and it won't be a credit to Iowa's tough-nosed defense sadly. The team just needs more time, and they haven't been allowed to have it.
