Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

There is just no metric you can stand on if you're Iowa. You beat a fake team in Wisconsin....you have no other good wins.
They have a chance only because there are so many opportunities left on their schedule. They're 15-11 though for crying out loud. People really think they can rattle off multiple top 20 wins all of a sudden?!
 
Here is a question I’d like to pose to Hawk fans just to watch them go into confusion-induced seizures…

Could Caitlin earn minutes on the men’s team?

Wieskamp was so much better than Sandfort, the two really don't even belong in the same sentence. Wieskamp was actually a plus athlete and more of a slasher who could shoot versus Sandfort a shooter who can sometimes slash against teams if their defensive metrics are bad enough. Sandfort has rebounded it better this year than I thought him capable of, so I'll give him that.

What is up with the younger Sandfort? For some reason I thought he was billed as the better of the two coming in, but he doesn't look remotely ready for basketball at this level.

You have to do two things at an above-average level vs. pro talent to make it in the NBA, you can't just shoot. Sandfort has:

1. Three-point shooting

What is the second thing?

I think this is correct - the older one was around #150 and the younger one was around #100.

I think some of the difference when the older one came in he had a way better situation with surrounding players and could basically get a bunch of clean looks.

You keep saying this. What mock drafts? I found one that had him in the top 100 prospects, that was ESPN's, but that's the outlier that I've seen.
Most of the mocks are written by guys who don’t know much. Both Givony and Vecine have him as a second rounder.
