4 or 5 blocks for the big O as well....
Yeah. He finally played with the level of aggression that the team needs from him on that end of the court, and he was able to do it without the foul trouble that's plagued him throughout his young career.
I knew he had several steals but was literally shocked when they announced he had six steals. That's an amount I'm not sure I've ever heard before, especially that early in the game.
Everyone had a good game, I'm surprised Indiana is as bad as they are. And yes, BH played well after that stinker of a game before. Playing well in a blowout win isn't as meaningful, just saying. And I thought Thelwell played better than Brock. His defense ignited this team. And Freeman had his best game of the year. Makes it easier for Brock.
Well no shit! Playing without DT hurts Harding and when O is in foul trouble it hurts Harding too. Harding's not going to carry the team missing DT and O in foul trouble half the time. That's 40% of the team missing...
OK, here we go again. Yes his height is one issue and if you haven't noticed the last two games the teams have been intentionally targeting him and taking him into the lane to shoot over him. Fran played a lot more zone last night and it was very effective. Hope they continue with that zone & defensive efforts. But Brock also tends to over dribble which can stifle ball movement. He dribbles into the lane, picks up his dribble without anyone to pass to. Part of this is his teammates not getting open, but they are busy watching him dribble. And he cannot finish at the rim. Throws up some circus shots in the lane. Please clean this up.
He's not carrying this team in any instance. If Iowa needs to rely on BH to "carry" them it's going to be a long long season.
And this is exactly when your starting PG should be stepping up & not playing his worst game of the season. I guarantee you Drew Thelwell would have stepped up his game to next level if BH was out. Not be a shrinking violet like Brock was the past game.
Go watch the nebbie & wisky games . He sucked. lil hoiberg out played him. He needs to clean up the little things. especially circus shots in the lane & picking up his dribble down low.
I agree, but more often than not when he does get by his defender he's throwing up low percentage shots in the lane. He could get away with that in HS, not the Big10.
He’s one of the seven most important players on the team this season. Better get used to it. Or keep constantly whining & bitching about him, whatever floats your boat.
He draws defenders when he does that which is actually great. He just needs to locate the open wings. Same with Owen when the hard doubles come.
Best seven? Yeah, I'd agree with that. He's a decent change of pace player. He's a liability on defense when playing man to man. If you didn't notice that during the nebbie & wiskey games when their guards were targeting him & driving him in the lane to shoot over him, Fran did well by playing zone against Indiana and hope he sticks with it.
Yeah right, those are the words you use to hide your distain of Brock, we know, he's not black and 6 foot 3. Do us all a favor, shut the eff up until the end of the season, you look like such an idiot railing on him after every game. Such a pussy.....Best seven? Yeah, I'd agree with that. He's a decent change of pace player. He's a liability on defense when playing man to man. If you didn't notice that during the nebbie & wiskey games when their guards were targeting him & driving him in the lane to shoot over him, Fran did well by playing zone against Indiana and hope he sticks with it.
And for the record, I'm not whining and bitching. I'm constructively criticizing his game to those on here that thinks he walks on water and is the second coming of Ronnie Lester.
There you go bringing race into the discussion. I've never once mentioned the color of his skin. I guess you're showing your true colors. And I'll repeat for you, I'm only criticizing him to offset your incessant worshipping & crowing about how he's Iowa's savior. Get off your high horse & I'll back off.
