Fran practiced defense a little less than none of practice

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

This guy on Arizona has done so many of those Chinese medicine hot cups on his shoulders he looks like he's got some loathsome disease.

Ohio St was involved in a game that Fran McCaffery would have been proud of.

Ohio St 118
IU-Indianapolis 102


Wowza. Not even FM's Iowa squads gave up 90+ to the likes of an IUI.

Illinois looking like a team of Hitler Youth these days

Fran lost 92-83 to an Eastern Illinois team that finished 9-23.

That produced one of my favorite posts of all time.

Thanks for dropping in, PantherNation! Pull up a chair and stay awhile.

I think you'll find that most of us Hawkeye fans are very welcoming and love all sports, not just the Hawkeyes!

I'd love it if you kept us updated on the progress of Eastern Illinois from here on out. You guys were a fun team to watch with many blacks.

Certainly wishing you guys the best! If you're ever in Iowa, I'd love to grab a drink with you and talk shop.

 

[douglasbader]

Even better considering PantherNation was Loog.

 

[Dr. Zaius]

Nate Bittle needs some plugs

 

[KitKatApples]

Yea, butt

I didn’t realize TJ Power transferred to Penn. Fran finally gets to coach him

 

[Talkin' Goat]

He transferred to Penn because he’s not very good.

Way to read the boards.

 

[KitKatApples]

I also thought the hawks were outstanding on rebounding yesterday

 

[douglasbader]

They are going to win a lot of games, but everyone should be prepared they are going to have some nights where shots aren't falling and the other team has superior size and will just run over them and they won't be able to do anything about it. Depth and rebounding will be an issue in Big Ten play.

 

[Shawneemicks]

Depth is the most overrated thing in cbb
Seven good ones is all that’s needed

In general, sure. But it would be nice to have a legit big guy on this team.

 

[douglasbader]

In general, sure. But it would be nice to have a legit big guy on this team.

Also, undersized guys tend to foul a lot more trying to guard legit bigs. The guys on this team that will have to do that have a history of foul trouble, so depth is actually going to matter unless they can suddenly guard bigger, stronger and more athletic players than they ever have on a nightly basis without fouling.

[KitKatApples]

Boom

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Medium Trev looked pretty good on D

You’re probably right but I also expect we might see a different version of Iowa on those nights in an attempt to combat the opponent’s advantage.

No wai!

 

[Stomper15]

The Creighton Hawkeyes play their first tonight. Are also rated in the Top 25.

 

[Thanksgiving Dinner]

Owen Freeman is weak and cowardly and dishonorable.

 

[Verbal]

I hope his basketball finger is ok.

[BBK]

Bilas ranked his top 68 teams, which didn't include the low and mid major automatic qualifiers.

No Iowa. That dumb cunt

 

[BBK]

Freeman came off the bench tonight, but led all scorers in points and bmi

He’s kind of a dipshit

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

Still weird

 

[LifelongHawk]

Yes you are.

 

[Stu Beagle]

Robert Morris beating Drake

 

[Dr. Zaius]

Drake still has a team?

 

[KitKatApples]

That’s now beating Robert morris

 

[Hawkstrat]

 

[HiawathaHawk]

[UnKnOwN_SeRb]

You Macedonian, Yugo?

 

[KitKatApples]

Yugoslavian as far as I can tell

 

[newsbreaker]

Drake is going to go back to being Drake.

 

[KitKatApples]

Had a hell of a run though

 

[Hawkstrat]

Drake is going to go back to being Drake.

That's likely, but they do have a transfer shooter who is injured. They might be alright.

 

[TurdBurgler]

Their 3 former coaches in the big ten. Feel sorry for them a little.

Robert Morris night actually be decent for that level, their euro guy is legit.

 

[douglasbader]

Congrats to Fran, first game and Penn scored 119 points tonight.
