Tough day for EIU hoops hopes
- Thread starter MuskieCy
- Start date
Fran is an offensive maestro. He could've figured out a way to get Jorbo 20-30 looks per game if he wanted to.
Perkins I will concede, as he was not ready at the beginning of the season. He has shown signs down the stretch however. If he can develop a 3 point shot..watch out.
Edit: Forgot to address Kris. I think he could've done it this year. Fran limited him to less than 20mpg for some ungodly reason. Kris could've been 3rd or 2nd team All Big 10 this year if Fran would've taken the training wheels off some. God forbid he let the 22 year old man loose amongst the boys. He had a 30 point game and looks a lot more like his brother than just in appearance.

From what I've seen Murray's abilities extend far beyond just getting looks. It comes down to putbacks, rebounds, and being 'multiple', i.e. posting up and being able to score from anywhere.
Perkins and Bobo don't have those qualities. Bobo has always looked like someone who can catch and shoot and that's about it.
I do meander a bit on HR and basically get a good laugh out of it all the time. I remember seeing a video of Fran behind the bench yelling at Patrick while in high school yet. Yet Fran goes on the record with this story.
One guy on HR replied that he was at one of those game and they were yelling "shoot it Connor!" I love how Fran is the pot calling the kettle black here.

Yeah Murray's efforts when he doesn't have the ball don't get talked about enough. You aren't getting that from anyone else on that roster.
That was an insane offensive performance in the first half by Iowa. 64 points?! lol Iowa might be the highest ranked Big Ten team on KP after this game. Crazy.
That was crazy. Which means Iowa will score 50 total tomorrow.
Something about Northwestern just makes them the ideal matchup for the Hawks. You could erase "Northwestern" from their jerseys and replace it with "Southern Utah University" or "Southeast Missouri State" because that's how Iowa treats these guys when they play.
Iowa might just be really really good, in all honesty. In the conversation at least for best offensive team in the country, a year removed from having a Wooden Award winner. That is kind of unreal.
If you allow Iowa to run a stress free fluid offense they are going to hang a ton of points on you. You HAVE to make them uncomfortable. I have seen exactly zero seconds of the game today but looking at the box score I assume Iowa shot wide open in rhythm trees all day long.
Murray has turned out to be stud. He will be drafted after this season. Someone will need to step up next year. Probably his brother.
They'll be fine. Most thought that they'd be a bubble team at best without Garza and in fact they looked that way for the first half of the year, but really turned it around to the point where I almost think they are better this year somehow. Weaker Big 10 may have a lot to do with that though.
Yeah we'll see. Kris hasn't shown the same ability to take it off the bounce like Keegan has.
I haven't watched either, just following the box score. 67% from 3 is absolutely insane. I bet some teams (quite possibly ISU) don't shoot that well in shoot arounds. They have allowed NW to hit 40% from 3, which would be enough to get you beat a lot of nights, but not if you are gonna shoot the way the Hawks have today.
