Belmont with a Jekyll and Hyde showing in Cancun.

Northern Iowa has just never really replicated the recruiting of those loaded mid-2010s teams with Tuttle, Washpun, Bohannon, Jesperson, Morgan, etc.

Drake/Bradley look like a clear top-2 and Murray looks like a clear #3 to me.

Don't worry we'll will a bunch of lategames to destroy​ any at large chances just to piss away a semi-final in StL.

It's who we are now because we're paper soft.

Looking at some stats, Bowen Born went from 18/13 PPG as a main offensive guy at UNI the last 2 years to 5 PPG on a 3-3 team that lost to UC Riverside and needed an OT win over Tennessee St.

The grass isn't always greener when moving on. Chuck Bailey III went from all bench team last season for UE and freshman of the week 4 times to 10 minutes a game and 20 total points thru 7 games for Nevada.

My guess is the issues that limited his playing time here have followed him out there. Shame, the kid does have talent.

Wonder where he will be at next year?

Didn’t realize that. Damn.

The one who sticks out to me is Bowen Born. He had the potential to be remembered as a UNI legend, but instead is spending his last year averaging 6 PPG on a 3-3 mid-major who lost to UC Riverside and needed OT to beat Tennessee St.

Ben Humrichous has started all 7 games for Illinois. He is averaging 27 minutes and 10.1 points per game being the fourth leading scorer on a very talented Illinois team.
