They were a 7 in Bracketology so that terrible loss will drop them to the 8/9 line for sure.
Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

Its the basketball version of the Saban and Dabo phenomenon, but on steroids.
Makes me recall a time OVER a decade ago when it his tough love no nonsense shtick delivered to us, not one, but TWO key pieces on OG version Transfer U and Transfer U 2.0, respectively.
If not for Izzo being Izzo, AIN'T NO WAY Chris Allen and Korie Lucious (literally Final Four guys) would have given Ames a second look...let alone even pick up the phone! Izzo thought he was giving their careers the proverbial kiss of death, And he was, too.
Back then, nobody wanted anything to do with transfers. Nobody dared cross Izzo Especially ones written off by the likes of a legend. He was judge, jury, and executioner. Wanna get exposure on the biggest stage? Wanna make your singular dream come true?
Just sign here.
-Guys like Izzo were the only game in town, and it was their way or no way, no matter the circumstance.
-Now there's NIL. They have freaking agents. They have options now.
-Sending Izzo packing, one way or another, would be the ultimate irony/poetic justice here. Is it possible?
[Side note: Korie Lucious had that saaaauce. Didn't always work, but talk about underrated. Especially from purely an entertainment value standpoint.]
I don't know the guy, but he just doesn't seem to me like a good person. Probably because of histrionics like this:
The post is real. Anyone who played basketball knows defense and working hard isn’t the thing that’s easy. I hope we have the guy in TJ who finds the magic formula for guys that want to win, get better, and also get to a next level. Seems like a tough needle to thread this day and age
Top contender for Ohio State. Beth better act quick before Fran slips away.Iowa better lock that contract up for a few more years with Fran or they may lose him.
watching channel 8 sports and man is scott R hyped up and now ia is in the talk and looking to sweep the next 4 games. and then they are in.
If they lose @Illinois and win out and beat a bubbly team like Nebraska in the BTT then they’ll prolly make a play-in game. I don’t think it’ll happen but would be hilarious and another excuse to let Fran run out his contract.
Yep. Fran is your classic just good enough coach. He clearly knows basketball (offensive side of it)....but he lacks self reflection. Too stubborn to understand the portal is the life blood now. Too stubborn to go and look at why he's never made a second weekend in the dance.
Players only meeting with a secretary to keep notes so it can become public.
Bully’s? LOL. We should invite them to Ames for a game. Show them what bully’s and badasses look like. They seem to have forgotten
He is not a good person, his wife isn’t a good person, Connor isn’t a good person, Patty isn’t likely either despite his setbacks.
You can’t remove a coach that just got your team into the tournament, that’s bad juju. The curse of Tom Davis was real
If we had a former player doing this we would be all for it. I'm just sayin'.
Does Fran still have the clause that making the tourney is an auto one year extension?
Tyrese Haliburton >>>>>Connor McCaffery
George Naing >>>>>>>Connor McCaffery
And you are right. I would be all for it if those two former Iowa State players would do the same thing.
Anyone ever notice at what the Iowa Athletic Department puts in the middle of men's game day team picture? "Fold here in March".
