After writing this out we need more forwards. Damn, that 86-87 team was talented. I remember the hockey line changes that year.
Knock on Joe? That's a knock on Marble.don't know if I would say Marble and Wieskamp are a tie. That is no knock to Joe, but Marble was pretty freaking good
The current team would prevail.For the middle aged and older Hawkeye fans!
so your opinion is that Joe and Roy were equals at that point in their career. I disagree but gotchaKnock on Joe? That's a knock on Marble.
Look at his career fg%, and he is the current all time scoring leader.
Wieskamp might end up as good or better than Roy, but he hasn’t come close yet.Starters

Well pretty much all teams from the 80's didn't shoot 3s as much as today. Different type of game wasn't it?The current team would prevail.
* No one would be able to stop Garza, who likely will go down as the all time leading scorer, passing Roy Marble.
* Double team Garza, fine. A 3 pointer will do. The 86 team did not shoot a lot of them. At all.
* Our 3 point shooting would do them in (JBo, Weezy, CJ, Garza).
and all part of why I believe the current team is better than the 86 teamWell pretty much all teams from the 80's didn't shoot 3s as much as today. Different type of game wasn't it?
No, I don't think they're close, Marble is/was a long way ahead.so your opinion is that Joe and Roy were equals at that point in their career. I disagree but gotcha
Are you saying Lohaus was only 6'7"?One of the reasons the 86/87 team failed to advance was the fact that they had no true center on that team.....Lohaus was more of a perimeter player like Nunge and Wright, although a great leaper was only 6'7".

I had a tough time with this one. Marble was further along in most areas but shooting can be the great equilizer and second year Marble didn't have a consistent outside shot yet. Got it his senior year. He was a great defender but wouldn't be able to sag off of Joe for help defense.You have Roy Marble and Weezy as a tie? Hmmm.

Roy would eat Joes lunch and would be a huge mismatchStarters

I would too, but that wasn't one of the choices. Freddie almost averaged 30 without the 3 point shot.Personally, I would take the ‘69-70 team. With the 3 point shot, Fred Brown would probably average 30 points/game.
Wieskamp might end up as good or better than Roy, but he hasn’t come close yet.
True, but through their soph years, I take Marble in a sec. Joe can get there. He has the tools he just needs to toughen up a bit and develop that killer attitude. When he does that, watch out.But remember that Marble was a soph that year.
Those cartwheels Gary did with the ball were pretty crazy too!Lohaus was 7 foot tall or so, but like Nunge played outside the box, Gary Wright who played mostly the center position was only 6'7" tall but could leap like a gazelle, breaking his hand and having to play with a cast on didn't help either.....
