Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

[BillBrasky4Cy]

The Big 10 isn't very good this year. There will be nights where they are hitting and can beat just about anyone in the conference. But also a lot of games where the 3's aren't falling and they get smoked.

The B1G has been pretty soft for quite a few years now. I can't think of the last time it wasn't a very top heavy league.

NET as of 12/10/23.
ISU sitting pretty so far at 8

Seeing BRE and King have to work for buckets today against PVM was an eye opener for sure.

Well for the 1st 10 minutes. IMO.

 

[BillBrasky4Cy]

Hoping Iowa can rattle off a few wins and keep Fran around.....about the only way I'll ever not actively root for them to lose.

This won't be Fran's make or break season. He will have next year at a minimum if he choses to stay.

Iowa State sitting at 8 shows how bad the NET formula is though.

being one of the worst teams in a confrence that only really has 1 good team does not bode well for their future NET either.

 

[ClonesFTW]

The Mid Ten will likely continue to get the benefit of the doubt in March and get at least 2 undeserving teams in the tournament.

they will have a half dozen teams seeded 8-11, again.

10k announced attendance for a Sunday afternoon conference game is so bad.

Especially when it look much more like 5000 actually in the seats

In KP adjusted D, the only P6 teams worse than Iowa are Louisville, DePaul, Georgetown, Cal,Vandy.

Correct. He isn't getting fired unless he hits somebody. Not ruling that out....

 

[Jeremy]

Fran spent more on recruiting than Kirk did on football. Kinda makes you wonder what he did with all the money.

Clearly he just wrote checks to himself for recruiting his own kids.

 

[Mr Janny]

Correct. He isn't getting fired unless he hits somebody. Not ruling that out....

Yeah, if he doesn't want to leave, I'm not sure that Iowa is going to be able to let him go. Then again, if attendence craters, it might put some urgency on things.

So if a crater is formed within a crater basically? . Carver be looking like...

google says they owe him about 3.5 million per year for 4 more years. 14.2 million total.

Thanks Gar Bar!

I was in attendance. Crowd wasnt terrible as far as attendence goes, but it certainly wasnt loud. Best part of the game was Margret running around to the tunnel to give Fran a standing ovation as he walked off the court. She then proceeded to lean over the donors sitting courtside to yell at the refs on her way back to her seat.

Supper time must be a hoot at the McCaffery's

You see 6 more wins for them?

They have 21 games left. Assume they go 3-0 in non-con buy games. They have 18 B1G games left. I see them at 5-13 in those games so a season of 13-18 overall, 5-15 in B1G.
