Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

[1UNI2ISU]

I watched a few minutes...it was more than 2 but not by a wide margin.

And they were all Bradley fans.

Crowds are down all across the country but according to the UIC boxscore from earlier today they had 2 people. I'm sure that was a typo or not.

Scorekeeper and waterboy. Makes sense.

That whole Athletics program is a never-ending ****show over there. They truly don't get it.

surprised any Iowa media criticizes the athletic department like that. Nice to have them turn on the ad for a change.

Minny favored by 2.5?

 

[Cupped]

Looks like Minney favored by 3.5. ESPN Matchup Predictor has Iowa 53.2%-46.8%. Tip off coming up at 5 on the B1G Comedy Channel.

Thanks for the reminder.

 

[TClone99]

I can't stand watching these B1G teams let Iowa score so easily after seeing how hopeless they can be against a real defense in Hilton. I will pass on this one.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

Hawks look out of it early

 

[cyclone82]

Up against NFL playoff games…..nice lol

 

[CycloneDaddy]

Gophers already with 6 3 point attempts (0-6) when Iowa cant stop the dribble.

Anddddd Minnesota pissed away that lead quickly

Not surprising since they are such a poorly coached team.

This is the first I’ve seen Minnesota this year. They are not well coached at all.

 

[heitclone]

It's crazy how bad the coaching in the big ten is, Minnesota got a lead taking the ball at Iowa then all of the sudden they stop attacking and settle for jumpers.

 

[Prone2Clone]

This is some bad basketball.

 

[trevn]

So Minnesota jumps out to a lead with a ton of ball pressure on defense and getting points in the paint. The last 15 minutes of the half they have no ball pressure and chuck a bunch of threes. Awesome strategy.

The recipe to beat Iowa is ball pressure, points in the paint, and minimal live ball turnovers. Do that and you will win most nights by 10+ points.

1 of 14 from three seems like a bold strategy

 

[cyclone82]

Sooooo many bad bad teams in that league….without the crappy league games neither freerent or Franny would have a job

 

[trevn]

2/21…still chucking threes.

 

[Acylum]

I thought Johnson was a good hire at the time. Lol.

Early in the shot clock.
