It‘s been all down hill for Andy since his Obama NCAA tourney pickem days at the White House.Andy Katz needs to take an eye test.
Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

But then Baylor/BYU was tough defense again with no room to breathe even out past the three point line. It's almost like there is a common thread here...
I don't think it's awkward at all. These players only meetings are monumentally overblown. The media eats it up...and so do fans.
Highlights and coverage/morons sitting around talking about the B1G.
Aside from hot take NFL draft talk they need something else.
Either it is a players only meeting or it isn't. This meeting wasn't since there was a non-player in attendance. It is akin to a coach telling a couple of captains that they need to call a meeting...and here is what I want you to say. Not a players only meeting because the coach is there even if only by proxy.
Who the F cares if Connor was there or not?
Meh. What would the equivalent of Connor be for a former Cyclone? Terrence Lewis?
I was coming around to your way of thinking until you compared C Mac too an average P6 player.
This is such a strange thing to argue about, even for CF.
Yeah I mean why doesn't Fran just make it official and make him an assistant or something? Connor clearly isn't cutting the mustard as the Indiana Pacers towel boy, seems like he is back in Iowa City quite a bit.
There are few things in sports that make me chuckle more than the “players only meeting”. You hear about them frequently in baseball. I would love for somebody to do a study looking at the correlation between these meetings and a significant turnaround of the teams season fortunes. My best guess would be zero.
I see it as one more thing to mock Iowa basketball for.
A sub strand of Haydenism is former average players getting their fix of adoration.
I don't think Baylor is that great defensively. In the past of course. That's what's been so weird about them past couple years is that they're a lot different than how they've been with Drew. They're a lot more offensive geared now imo
It's been this year and last year. This year they're #85 in AdjD per kenpom and last year they were #107. Previous years they were #13, #22 and #4. They are not a poor defensive team this year though. BYU is #55 FWIW.
I see I started something. I for one would think it’s really weird for Gabe K to be in a player only meeting for this years team, talking about how we need to toughen up. There is no we there. He’s not on the team.
I’m all for former players being involved in the program. For example how at BYU Halliburton was at the game and in the locker room. But it would be weird to me if Halliburton was a big part of a meeting on how we need to play tougher and our teams losses are unacceptable.

I haven't figured out exactly what the argument is about, but I have decided that it's not interesting enough to find out.
Yeah it actually is pretty weird for a player who just graduated to come back and talk at a players only meeting. It'd be weird if he would've came even for a full team meeting, particularly because he literally just graduated. You add in that Connor is also the coach's son and all around it's just a weird situation. That's not even mentioning that Connor was not exactly a beloved teammate throughout his career there.
Things that aren't shocking for $500.
I bet that only added to the 'WTF?ism' for why he played so much with the Murray kids around.
