    Milan could be a lottery pick next year. He isn't transferring and he isn't transferring to Wisconsin who didn't even offer him out of high school

    Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

    Just asking but whose minutes should Fears be taking? Maybe Tre's? Sure isn't going to cut into Hoggard's, Akin's or Walker's.. For Booker, it's just so hard to come in as a freshman big and produce right away. Owen Freeman is because there's no one else in front of him and credit to him for...

    Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

    There's definitely a good reason those two guys aren't playing for Sparty. People get caught up in recruiting rankings all the time, including me. They're incredibly fun during the recruiting cycles + offseason but once real games come around, all of that crap is thrown out the window. Izzo...

    If the players wanted Connor to come in and speak in their player's only meeting, then who cares? The only thing I find weird about it is that he did come in and speak at all.

    Him and Patrick both. Iowa did fine with having Murray off the bench but there was absolutely zero reason that was happening two years ago.

    I personally think Kansas makes a run in the dance to the Elite 8, but their starting 5 has to play well essentially every game to do so. No, you don't need a deep bench but the fact of the matter is that Kansas doesn't really have a truly capable 6 or 7 option either. If Dickinson or McCullar...

    Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

    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...

    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'll reiterate, we can't both be a poverty university as their fanbase claims and have insanely deep pockets to pay our players lol.

    Placing your hands on an official or bumping them. TJ may be shoulder to shoulder but that's because he wants to get close enough where they can have a conversation and it's not seen as him trying to one up him or something. Also notice that TJ rarely ever talks to officials without his hands...

    Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

    That's a good win and a must win for Iowa. They're doing exactly what they need to do to get into the tournament. Still an uphill battle and will likely need to win 3-4 or 2-4 and one in the big 10 tournament.

    I'd say best case scenario is you throttle them and then you can rest him that way.

    Lindell Wigginton is on a two way. Then there are a few other guys who are currently in the G-League.

    I think that game banged Tamin up but I don't think he's injured.

    I personally think Tamin just had a bad game against a great team and a great guard who was on him. Tamin's 4 games prior to that were all solid.

    He's got too much of a green light imo. He sometimes pulls up like Caitlyn Clark does and the shot isn't anywhere close. Someone would have to pull up the actual stats but I'd love to see his shot percentage on transition pull up 3's from 3 feet or beyond the line.

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

    There was a stretch during the game where Houston got called for a few fouls consecutively which made it like 6-1 fouls in our favor, but in the end that didn't matter. They started calling some ticky tack crap on us and it took a ton of contact for them to blow the whistle on them. We got a...

    Sandfort's a very good shooter but that's all he is. He can't dribble well, he's not very athletic and he can't guard his shadow.

    Yeah it's in no way easy. There's a reason that team is the best defense in the country and it's not even close.

    Absolutely, completely agree. And that's why I think that game was so important for the long run. There's a ton of film to be watched to coach up these guys as far as time and score situations. Numerous big possessions were turned over by us because we went to fast and that's a huge credit to...
