Is about to lose to a 3-9 Eastern Illinois team by 10 at home. Even without Murray that is a terrible loss and shows how easy it is to stub your toe in a non-conference game during this time of the year.
Iowa Loses to 3-9 Eastern Illinois at Home
- Thread starter RU-ROCS
- Start date
Yeah, hopes of that being a Q1 home game for us definitely taking a hit.
It's not easy to stub your toe that badly.. Iowa was favored by 31.5. Eastern Illinois is legit bottom 10 in kenpom.. far worse that even Lafayette was. That is an absolutely brutal, terrible loss.
This is a baddddddd week for games. Gotta show up Friday
Put it in the books. Iowa goes down at home by 10 points. Shockingly bad home loss.
A team lights up with almost 60% shooting and we still have fans wondering out loud and on the message boards, why RU and all the elite programs, focus on defense first.
Can't give up 90+ to anyone at home, even if it's a ranked opponent.

Damn. They looked like kings against Southeast Missouri State.
The loss to the #350 NET team is going to hurt all on its own.... but letting them shoot 60% from the floor, while you shoot 38.9% from the floor is going to kill their efficiency numbers, too.
Eastern Illinois scored 92 points on 60 attempts (and 22 FTs), and Iowa scored 82 on 72 attempts (and 32 FTs).

Higher ranked teams can't have poor shooting games and still think they will win against inferior opponents.The Rutgers game against Temple is a example.
That’s what was shocking to me. I know Iowa isn’t known for its defense, but giving up 92 at home to a 3-9 team is insane.
My goodness, 92 points.
Iowa is always going to struggle come tournament time if they continue to play defense like this. The ducked out early last year against Richmond and then two years ago Oregon absolutely boat raced them

Line was 31.5
Largest DI upset in 30 years.

Couldn’t have happened to a bigger jerkoff.
I know this isn’t technically good for the Big10 and Rutgers but can’t help to love it. Wish I could have watched Franny cry all game

As others have pointed out this is not good for the Big Ten or Rutgers. But Fran is such a douche bag, cant help but have a good laugh at this
I love the term "douche bag". hard to define what makes someone a "douche" but Fran is undoubtedly a douche bag.
He literally has, what I would call, a "resting douche face"
Has anyone gone over to the Iowa board?
Exactly. Made the same point in another thread. People obsess over RU scoring saying it will cost them games, but not being able to play any defense can also cost you games as well
It felt like Iowa was getting killed on the break but I didn’t watch the full game. Just looked it up to confirm, they gave up 26 fast break points.
Reading through their game thread, they apparently gave up something like 6 dunks across 8 possessions. E Illinois was scoring at the rim, which I assume is why their % was so high.
Ouch.... from the ESPN article on the loss: "The Panthers were 21-of-29 after intermission (72%), including 4-of-8 from 3-point range, while the Hawkeyes went 2-of-17 behind the arc and 11-of-36 overall (31%)."

Iowa was a 31 point favorite and lost by 9, a 40 point swing.
#25 Arizona was a 2.5 point favorite and lost to San Francisco by 37.
Not sure which is worse, but for now I’m going with Arizona.

Wow. So Eastern Illinois was 17-21 from 2 in the second half. That’s more than 80%. Lolol. Way to motivate, Frannie! I may have to find a video of that second half!

I am not a Iowa fan and I want to throw up 92 points in 81 possessions. That is a lot of possessions. Eastern Illinois was 30-45 from 2.

Will they play it on the Missouri Valley Conference Network? MVCN, an Eastern Illinois Classic in 60
D1 athletes can do amazing things once the superior team allows them to hang around.
Just remember, every starter on Eastern Illinois would look like Bob Cousy and Dr J reincarnated, playing in what you think is a high level pick up game at the local gym 😊
