Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

Iowa would damn near need to win out to get into the tournament. They aren’t even in the conversation right now as a bubble team.
They’re 59 in the NET. I’ve seen some teams in that neighborhood being mentioned as bubble teams. They’ve got a ton of work to do but also play in a league that lets them do whatever they want offensively.

Their best win is against a bubble team in seton hall. They definitely have a lot of work to do.

They need a few road wins. Only winning at home is usually a black eye.
 
Well, they haven't done that lol.

Probably need to win their next 3 and then pickup 2-3 Quad 1 wins down the stretch.
The thing they have going for them is the number of Quad 1 opportunities left on the schedule. Again I only give them a chance because when I've watched I'm always struck by how easy it is for a guy like Perkins to score in that league.
 
EIU is not making the tournament unless they can win the B10 tournament or go on a massive run right now. They have repeatedly shown they cannot win on the road in conference, and even if they do they are still waiting for their first Quad 1 win of the season currently 0-6. They need a miracle to make the tournament.

but it is way more fun for some of us if they get a couple of wins (help ISU's metrics), even get bubbly talk going with their local media. confirm Fran is coming back and then get crushed on selection Sunday. Let's not deny us that.
 
If they pick up a couple Q1 wins and wind up about .500 in the league, they'll probably sneak in. I hope they get put in a play-in game again if they make it.

I can't figure out why Michigan State is ranked so high by computers.

Who will be checking this out tonight? Should be a pretty good documentary on Carver Magic. 28 Hours at Carver!


I loved how Chad was getting ripped in the comments and he was like "hey look, I didn't write that headline" haha

That's why we need a loss tonight. Almost puts the final nail in the coffin.
