Keegan (36 pts, 11 reb) & Kris Murray (25 pts, 16 reb) lead their team to win over #1 team in USA

[Franisdaman]

See the tweets that follow the pic of Keegan.

As you will see, the Murray twins' team (DME) defeated #1 ranked IMG 113-112 in OT. Keegan Murray had 36 points and 11 rebounds and Kris Murray had 25 points and 16 rebounds.

The Murray twins and team beat the #1 team in the country today.

He looks fast.

Did that go in?

Both Keegan and Kris played all 45 minutes in the OT thriller

The Murray boys came to play in this one apparently.

Wow!! Our incoming class next year is way underrated.

Where did you see rankings for these teams?

I'm Proud of my guys after big win vs well coached and #1 Ranked IMG National post grad team. Beating this team takes a lot and our guys give all they have tonight! #proudcoach #DMEProud @DMEAcademyMBB @CoachKenner @panaggio34 @nachrodriguezz @impscholarships

Was that game on TV? I think I saw IMG listed on the schedule on one of the ESPNs recently.

 

[slipHawk]

What’s a post grad anyway? A league?

 

[slipHawk]

A league made up of only players not yet in college but graduated from HS?

 

[OILCHECKER]

Kenyon is going to have a hard time with/on this board once his kids enroll at Iowa.

They were on the other day vs another ranked team.

I'm going to trust that the coaches know where they and their teams are ranked nationally.

That was their Varsity National team.

 

[vacuum_cleaner]

Dang, good for them! That is no joke, scoring 25 and 36 against that level of competition and beating a team like that. Super excited to watch these two next year.

 

[Irwin Fletcher10]

In 4 years, will the Hawks have the oldest team in NCAA history? The Murray boys and PMac will all be 24 year-old seniors, correct?

 

[HawkLogic]

Not if his Kids are studs. The twins went from Div3 to P5 recruits over past year. This is big risk to take for Fran and if it works out, he will look like a genius.

Maybe those folks who were so nasty and critical about Fran signing the Murray twins should rethink their position. You don't put up numbers like that against that kind of competition if you can't play. Kris and Keegan will make great Hawkeyes, just like their dad.

And....Maybe this is a door opening to recruit the DME program in the future. That would be good.

 

[TritonHawkeye]

If everyone comes back for next season(please come back LG!) Then I would think one might RS. Just won't be much playing time available.

Do you really think that ONE twin will redshirt, and the other won't, and end up in different classes? Can't believe people keep bringing this up....

 

[luvmyhawks]

Meh. Weak competition.

Unfortunately, we know very little about the competition.

I'll be the first to admit that when the initial offers were made I was concerned that it was a Plan B type offer from Fran because Fran's primary targets were not going to be signing on. That being said, I'm reasonably certain that is no longer the case with the Murray boys, they've both clearly matured physically and expanded their skill sets. I think having them both here will be viewed very positively once it's all said and done.

 

[Greenway12]

The game if interested:

 

[bunsen82]

Unfortunately, we know very little about the competition.

From watching the game tape, definitely better competition than what they saw at prairie valley on night to night basis. The numbers are obviously inflated, but both their strokes are pretty pure. That will translate at any level. The players had quicks, but the Murray twins were easily the two tallest players on the court. Still a tad skinny.

 

[silasstarr]

Step back NBA three

 

[hawkquiz]

The IMG team they played was loaded with talent. One of there guards is going to Providence, and he was at best, IMGs 3rd best player in this game. Now night in and night out they might not be playing the best competition, but its definitely better than Iowa HS. The twins definitely have offensive skills that I think will translate well to the Hawks. Big time 3 point range

 

[amahawk]

I really hope that they excel at Iowa. The potential is there.

Yes, I do and I take it you don't. One of us will be right, one won't

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I think one of the main issues with the Murray rides is that there are two of them.

 

[HawkLand]

Since they are completely different people I definitely believe one could redshirt while the other does not.

However, I think this would be less debatable if they were Siamese twins.

 

[kceasthawk]

Yes, I do and I take it you don't. One of us will be right, one won't

Obviously, just find it hard to believe that they were insistent that they go to the same school, (which probably cost them some offers), and yet they would be split into different classes. I guess we'll see next season..

Only an idiot would not have a plan B etc.
The problem is that some people have misguided attitudes that that means a much lesser player.
The volume of players that CAN make an impact at the P5 level anymore is very large.
It all depends on coaching and their drive to succeed.

Maybe so, but with a Final score like that it appears Defense was optional in this game. They did put up some numbers though, so good for them.
