    Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

    You may be right on Illinois as far as site placement. Good call. If Iowa is eliminated by the time they play Illinois I still wouldn't them giving Illinois a setback for seeding purposes.

    Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

    They need 5-1 and 1 or 2 in the BTT. 5 of their 6 remaining games are Quad 1. A blessing to still have a chance but more likely they'll go like 3-3 and fight to hold on to their NIT bid. Iowa actually has the 6th most difficult remaining SOS in the country. Hopefully they beat Wisconsin and...

    This is so hilariously out of touch you almost have to respect it

    Absolutely! His mid post game is so good even when closely guarded.

    KState is included in this partnership. It looks like it's just a 1 day thing where a 20% discount is given for your school and 20% of the proceeds go to the school's Collective. Link to their Iowa State selection: https://www.homefieldapparel.com/collections/vintage-iowa-state-cyclones-store

    Taking my crow. Was a bad spot and Cincy was desperate but ISU dominated that game. Probably more likely than not Cincy now misses the dance. Their lack of ball handling was no match for our high pressure defense. Phenomenal coaching job by TJ and KG to keep this team locked in at all times.

    Thanks for proving me wrong Big Rob

    Rob's best BPM game of the Big 12 season last night. He's stacked two really good games in a row. Disregarding the stats, Rob's toughness on the floor and intangible leadership qualities are huge for this team.

    Right on the cusp. KState is currently #77 and needs to be #75 to move to Quad 1. I don't have a lot of faith in them turning it around and making the tourney. Remaining schedule is difficult.

    He was flustered after making some bad turnovers in the 1st half. Fortunately, Curtis Jones has stepped up as defensive game plans continue to key on taking away Milan. I'd be interested to see the numbers on Milan shooting open threes vs contested. It anecdotally feels like he is elite when...

    Homefield would be a great Collective partner. They have a fantastic Iowa State selection. I wonder how Georgia was able to set this up.

    I agree with this assessment. Taking Cincy and the under. If Cincy doesn't win this game, I think they will have a tough time finishing 9-9 and making the tournament. We are going to get their very best shot tonight. They are currently 4-7 in the first two quadrants. Zero good out of...

    That's a fair point. Outside of beating UNC (by double digits) on a neutral I wouldn't classify any win as great. I would argue consistently beating decent to good teams on the road is impressive though. It won't shock me at all if UConn repeats.

    Eh, UNC (neutral), Gonzaga (neutral) and Texas (neutral) out of conference. They haven't played Marquette yet but they blasted Creighton and have beaten a lot of the Big East bubble teams on the road. 13-2 in the first two quadrants is a pretty pristine resume. They have a shot at the #1...

    Kansas has some huge out of conference wins. If they just win out at the Phog they're still going to be viewed favorably by the committee. Right now they are 9-5 in the first two quadrants. We are 7-5 for comparison.

    Line opened at a Pick Em and has since moved to Cincy -2. Unranked team favored at home is a tough spot.
