Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

So it doesn’t make it any less frustrating, but would you rather be us who can’t close the deal but are very competitive on the road or Iowa who isn’t even ******* close to competitive on the road? And it’s not like the Big 10 road trips are like what we see in the Big 12 aside from a few of them.
I would rather have a chance to win in the last seconds of the game.

It’s WAY better to know you can compete away from home come tourney time.

We play in the best league in the Country.
Northwestern stats wise is barely better than 3-11 Oklahoma.

I want to play the best.

Exactly. Doesn’t make our losses on the road any less aggravating. In fact it’s more aggravating then just getting housed on the road. But you can see you are close and just a little change makes your fortune different. Iowa just chalk it up as a beat down almost every time.

Wins and losses aside, I'd rather have a coach and team that conducts themselves in the manner of TJ and company. Same with Campbell.

The eiu athletic department is a fitting representation of that pathetic institution.

Exactly! We are right there on the road in the best league hands down. Iowa gets rag-dolled on the road against average teams at best.

The goal for away games is to have a chance late and some years it works out, some it doesn't.

I realize ISU has gotten lit up a couple of times but it's not typical and conference games are more important.

And we haven’t gotten owned on the road aside from Iowa and Missouri. Second half of Tech was ugly but in the end it was an OT loss. Same with Okie State where it was right to the end.
