Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

Could have just said 6-16 when allowing 80+, right?

In the 21 games over 80+. I think they were 17-4 in those games, so they were 2-11 in games they scored less than 80 (the 2 wins were 78 & 79).

No. They’d be 6-4 when allowing 80-90

I think there is a fix for that, something that starts with the letter d. Can't quite put my finger on it, I'm on da fence with my answer.

Not to mention rosy cheeks and fist pumps.

This isn't really your "best to worst" order, right?

It actually is. Is Drake in a way better spot right this instant? Absolutely but Missouri State has a new 11,000 seat arena, gorgeous facilities and is located in a very wealthy area with access to lots of high level donors if they'd ever get out of their own way. It's also much easier to recruit to warmer weather. They're a sleeping MM giant if they could just make the right hire.

Indiana State is a bottom 3 job in the Valley and it just shows how good Schertz is.

Missouri State is a good Valley job. But putting it above Drake is a tough argument to make when Missouri State's top choice just backed out of the gig to come to Drake lol.

Agree on Indiana State. Schertz is a wizard and they're in trouble when he leaves.

Did Drake hire McCollum?

I have found nothing confirming this.

Probably be a busy week for portal entries outta ia ******

...and quiet week for portal entries wanting to be Hawkeye.

 

[BCClone]

Allowing a guard to go for 30+ and another to go for a triple double is an interesting defensive strategy.

Let them tire out is their defensive philosophy.

That's because Missouri State can't get out of their own way. Apparently they turned McCollum down and are going to hire Tom Freaking Crean.

Time for Sandfort and Son to retire to the junkyard in Iowa city.

Will they lose any to DeVries and WV? Might as well torpedo the good ship McCaffery on his way out of Iowa.

Come on, they didn't turn McCollum down lol

 

[RezClone]

Yeah, but iowa chicks dig the long ball, so …

If you were at all familiar with their AD, you'd completely understand. They're going with Crean.

Plus, it appears McCollum might be the guy at Okie State.

Ah, the old Homer Simpson boxing strategy
