I was actually thinking about this the other day. Fortunately I played in the era where girls could only dribble twice. My handle was bad. Got hip checked once on a drive to the bucket, accidentally dribbled between my legs, somehow got the layup in, and the crowd of maybe two dozen people went nuts. We were maybe only down by 25 or so at the time.
Tough day for EIU hoops hopes
- Thread starter MuskieCy
- Start date
TBH I think he would settle for one of these guards turning into Sean Haluska.
Still social distancing. I would expect nothing less from the premiere medical school west of the Mississippi and east of Marshalltown.
Literally three players have carried the program for the last 5 years. One left Iowa City to develop and the other two were Hawkeye legacies that literally nobody else wanted. He got stupid lucky with those three. Fran's misses outweigh his hits by a ton but he has had three all Americans that have helped cover it up.
Tourney odds down to 7%. Concerning loss to a bad Michigan team that is in complete disarray.
Also, credit to Sherman Dillard for maintaining a Franny Mc staple at the end of yesterdays game..
Completely agree but it does kind of validate this schedule as much as I don’t like it.
Their WBB team is going to kill MBB attendance for this year and next year. There is only so much time and if you’re making the trip to IC it’s going to be for Clark and the women.
I think you guys are unfairly under appreciative of Iowa's elite bounce pass skills. I don't know of a team that does it better.
Same exact description happened once to Jordan Bohannon.
Except it was a Saturday afternoon in Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
No it really doesn't. Iowa State is getting a lot of mileage out of really efficient offense against really bad teams. Kenpom has our adjusted SOS at 277. That's pretty bad. The NET formula LOVES offensive efficiency.
That’s the point. There is no freaking way this team is #8 in the country, but they are playing the NET metrics game and they are currently ranked there… thus justifying the schedule.
Love it or hate it. ISU holds serve, and their trajectory is firmly in top 4 seed territory with a chance for location priority.
Offensive efficiency (also 30th in tempo after being in the low 200's last year [per CW & Blum]). I don't see this being an issue. Particularly with our turnovers forced and having guards that get down hill for once. I'd be shocked if there was a significant enough drop-off in Big 12 play.
I really hope Devries doesn’t go to Iowa. Not cause I’m overly worried about him lighting the world on fire there, but he’s from my hometown and have a lot of family friends. It’s been fun having Drake as kind of a second team to root for, couldn’t do it for the Hawks
Just wait until Iowa has another year like this year under Fran and CC is gone and see if they even open the doors anymore
The sad thing is they're basically paying students and fans to show up and they still aren't. We may see the first instance of a collective paying fans to show up.
