Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

[RezClone]

Don't get the Hok trolls riled up with "what if's". They were going to win the Natty in 2019-2020 in case you didn't know.

The top 2 teams, by NET, in each major conference that miss the NCAAs get an auto-bid and the right to host. As of today, Northwestern and Ohio State are 52 and 53 in NET, so there’s a real chance Iowa could miss out.

Northwestern is a lock to the NCAA Tournament. Iowa is going to get a home game in the NIT.

I thought someone said they wouldn't be able to host NIT because the WBB would be hosting NCAA? Anyone know for sure?

They could just play in City High's gym. Not like they'd fill that anyway.

Even Perkins whose minutes/per I just posted...we're seeing this year he has some big assist games and he's actually one of the better point guard skill sets they've had in decades...the thing they've most lacked.

Perkins is way more talented and going to get 1300 less minutes than Connor.

I think if he played Murrays the minutes they deserved right away they both leave for NBA a year earlier, but he also might have finally actually won something in the NCAA.

What little I have seen of them, Perkins looks like he would benefit by a transfer. He has a more complete game than the others.

The older Sandfort is just there to jack threes. I’m not sure about his brother, haven’t seen much of him

I heard that they're good as long as they can host on Tuesday rather than Wednesday. Plus I think the women are going to get a Saturday/Monday to accommodate Pat McAfee.

I actually thought ISU would have a larger discrepancy of NCAA appearances during this time.

Maybe now you understand how the rest of the world sees the big ten as vastly over-rated. They get a ton of undeserved rankings, appearances and seeds and get turbo bounced early regularly.

Lots of chatter on “rumors” out of Iowa city. Could it be that mad Fran is EXTENDED???

FIFY

I've honestly always liked Perkins. I would've taken him on an Otz team with how hard he plays. He's a little whiney, but that's a reflection of his coach.

And yes to the Murrays. Good chance we're not still making fun of them for their S16 drought...

It's like Fran is just now realizing you can have a big athletic point guard and sometimes he plays that role amazingly well. You could have built around that from the start. That doesn't address they're consistently bottom 10% of defenses in power conferences though.

It's funny NW is a "lock" but Big 12 has 30ish ranked Net teams that aren't even considered.

Luckily it gets to play out in real life and not in sports media so they'll have the least wins per team as they have almost every year since MSU won it in 2000.

Guessing there will be a lot of Iowa fans watching the ISU game today?

Too late for this old man.

lmao…. You loser, stay up and watch some real BIG time BB

My kid was telling me that Prime Time hasn't made an in-home visit since he's been at Colorado. Maybe Fran has the same belief. He only wants kids who come to him.

I want to live in a world where Deion Sanders and Fran McCaffery have the same energy.

Jesus! I swear they bring in the groceries one bag at a time.

They suddenly decided womens basketball is the most important sport on earth the last couple of years after never caring about it before so why not?

Remember when they went all in on Iowa baseball that one year because their basketball team sucked?

Riding in a raucous St Pattie’s Day Parade tomorrow. Drinking commences at 6 am.

Plus he must have forgot that we had to endure the Prohm era

That is a FANTASTIC burn

How awesome would it be if Iowa had to go to KState
