    Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

    My two cents worth: 3-0 they are likely in, particularly if they win their first Big 10 tournament game 2-1 last four out range heading into the Big 10 tournament, so could play their way in depending on how the bubble moves 1-2 or worse, they’d have to win the Big 10 tournament

    Mouser the new OC

    Roehl seems like a really strong position coach hire and I like that he has some play calling experience to add to the group of offensive coaches. The offensive staff is definitely young, but also feels full of guys that are talented, hungry, and well liked by their players.

    Where Iowa State might turn to find an offensive coordinator replacement

    I would assume he’s referring to Rob Grande.

    *** Official #6 IOWA STATE vs #2 Houston Game(Day) Thread ***

    From a NCAA tournament seeding and national perception standpoint it does matter a little bit how we look and how close of a game it is. If it ends up being similar to the Marquette vs. UConn game from last week we'll take a little of bit of a hit, similar to what happened to Marquette. If we...

    2023-2024 MBB computer projections thread

    One interesting thing is that even though we are 3rd in AdjD and Houston is 1st and we are 42nd in AdjO and Houston is 16th, we are closer to them in AdjO (3.6 difference) than we are in AdjD (4.8 difference).

    Just looking back at end of season adjEM and based on Cyclone Larry’s 477 home games over that time period, it appears there averages about one team per season with a 32+. There are usually around 10 teams that are around 24 or above. So my best guess is there are a little less than 2 games per...

    So of the 5 times it’s happened in the Kenpom era twice it’s been teams similar to Iowa St this year (an adjEM within 1), once its was a giant upset, and twice it was teams that weren’t too far off in adjEM from the team they beat.

    Should Iowa Move On from Mad Fran?

    60% of remaining base pay is his buyout I believe. His yearly base pay would be quite a bit lower than the $3.3 million total compensation number which includes media obligations, brand endorsement, etc.

    Should Iowa Move On from Mad Fran?

    Unless they lose out or something close he’ll be back for next year I’d think. But another missed tournament next year and he likely would be done (and probably even if it’s a bubble season with low attendance again).

    Never under any circumstances take your vehicle to the dealership unless its warranty work or some special repair only they can perform.

    Probably the only way we win the Big 12 outright if we lose at Houston is we run the table in the rest of our games. Then it would take Houston losing 2 out of @ Oklahoma, @ Baylor, and Kansas.

    What If - Sweet 16 and Title Chance or Final 4

    If I was a fan of Houston, UConn, or Purdue this year I would take the Sweet 16 option. For everyone else, including us, the Final 4 option seems pretty clear cut. For any 2, 3, or 4 seed type team the odds of making the Championship game is a single digit percentage.

    2023-2024 MBB computer projections thread

    We're probably at the point where comparing the '99-'00 team to this year is valid. This years team definitely has a deeper roster while Tinsley and Fizer would probably be the best two players on the court. This years team is a better defensive team, slightly. While the '99-'00 team was better...

    Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

    To be fair the program wasn't in the best place after LaVall Jordan and they are quite a bit better this year in year 2 under Matta. He's on track to have them back in the tournament next year.

    Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

    Unless Fran and the AD have a falling out seems like after next season would be the soonest they would fire him. 60% of base salary remaining isn’t that prohibitive, even after this season. But after this season would seem like a pretty short leash unless the AD is just looking to put her stamp...

    Another coaching vacancy at ISU

    The Waters promotion to RB coach makes lots of sense. I would also think it gives us a better chance of keeping Kempt for a little while longer. Waters was making almost twice as much as Kempt as the Senior Quality Control/Offense vs. Quality Control/Offense. But also wouldn't be surprised to...
