Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

[nfrine]

Just peaked in on about 5 minutes of MSU and Maryland. The Terrapins are awful. Terrible transition defense so Iowa will feast on that. It’s just a perfect schedule coming up for Fran. We should be happy about it. Keep him and his mediocrity around as long as possible.

The Flurry before the Fade.

Did Fran actually post this, or is this a fake account? Please tell me it’s fake.

If you squint really hard at the username, you can tell its really him!

This is the perfect Iowa basketball caption. They're a bunch of frontrunners.

Like clockwork. Whenever Iowa sucks at hoops, or they suffer an upset loss, the Iowa Media and fanbase suddenly pivot to football.

If you look at their schedule, they don’t have many losses left

I count 9 remaining games that they could easily lose.

You had to ask if it was fake or not?

Hint: Look at the '@' under the bolded name. That is the actual account name. Do you think Fran has the handle of Mran_FcCaffery?

No way. This schedule is a prefect set up for Franny and the boys. They get to play a bunch of bad teams that Iowa can simply out score.

Holy crap! 10 teams in the B1G are 4-4 or worse in conference play. That is insane!

Just remember, the schedule in the B1G is a "meatgrinder" that hawk trolls always keep telling us.

None of my Iowa friends even try to pretend like the B1G is a good basketball conference anymore. These guys al grew up in the Davis era and absolutely hate that Fran has passed him in wins because you can't even begin to compare the wins or resumes each has had.

Hmm… Life time contract for Fran?

Uh NBA guys every year? Lol
Aren’t the Murrays the only Iowa NBA players?

 

[cydnote]

How many years would it take for "the new guy" to lose as many games as Fran?

 

[NorthCyd]

If you count guys that have logged a minute as an NBA player I still don't think you could get to "every year". Garza and Uthoff? I'm sure there's one or two more I'm missing.

Aren’t the Murrays the only Iowa NBA players?

From memory:

Garza - fringe
Uthoff - fringe
Wieskamp - a bit more than fringe?
Bohannen - G league at most

After the Murrays there's been guys routinely flirting with the NBA, but I'm not sure "NBA Players" as insinuated is appropriate verbiage.

What is missing here is that people actually want to like and respect the people they cheer for. Fran may have a couple things to be "proud" of on his resume, but he's not liked by many. Its that simple.

It's pretty well known that Sweeney grew up a family friend of the McCaffery's

West Virginia will likely be Q2 by then

WVU has really been improving as it has gotten guys healthy and elligible. THey will get Jesse Edwards back maybe next game and will be even better.
