Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

Yeah we'll see. Kris hasn't shown the same ability to take it off the bounce like Keegan has.
Keegan didn't show that ability last year either. In fact, I am not sure he even was doing that earlier THIS year. Point being, I won't be surprised if Kris takes the legendary Fran leap this offseason into next.
 
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.
NW shot 46% from the field and 43% from three and lost by 36. That is insane.

Iowa shot 61% from the field and 66% from three. Followed that up with 58% from the FT line. LOL.
 
Iowa's a fascinating team. Any team that matches up poorly against them is going to get demolished like NW. When you have a lottery pick and a bunch of shooters it can work that way sometimes. Athletic guards and great rebounding teams are where they have issues.
 
Any of those 1-2 seeds would carve Iowa up....

On any given day Iowa could beat anyone or I think lose to anyone. Hard hitting analysis I know. When things go bad, they tend to go REAL bad. When the Murrays and 1-2 other role players are hitting they are tough to beat. JB is due to go 0-12 in a big game, which they all are now.

I think Iowa is capable of advancing for sure but if they run info a solid defensive team, they could get bounced.
1 thing that worries me is we don't tend to win close games and haven't been in a lot. You aren't going to blow a lot of NCAA teams out if you aren't a 1-4 seed
