it was definitely a team effort... and your maroon colored glasses are fading...So you're accusing Brock of allowing Utah's point guard to get a triple double when Brock only played 16.5 minutes of the game, always thought games consisted of 40 minutes. InterestingYour hatred of Brock is getting old.
Looking at Fran's failiure to have a really good penetrating, defense-breakdown pt guard I might be for Harding starting at the point next year. Let him continue to grow, let him drive and dish or finish, Dix can be the #2 wing starter and backup pt guard.
If that's all we've got, we're gonna have to roll with it. Unless there's a giant leap of improvement, we're looking at another NIT run next year.
I thought we were rooting for the same University of Iowa team. Instead, we're arguing about who Fran has on Iowa's roster. If you can't like the likes of Payton, Dix, and the 4 freshman I can't help you. Yes, Fran played his son way too much, we all agree with that except for Fran. Krikke was a terrible portal get, sorry but it's the truth. Getting Brauns from the portal was a waste too.
LOL, you're so easy to trigger. Brock is a legitimate BACK UP pg, not a Big10 starter worthy of 30 minutes a game. Every team attacks him on defense. He may get a steal here or there, but that doesn't equate to lock down defender. He can be a disruptor, but not going to make any all defensive teams. Not even 3rd team all defense. We all bitch about the lack of defense from Fran's team, yet you want to play the biggest defensive liability on the team at starter?
I can't change your mind on your opinion of Brock, but Brock can with his play!LOL, you're so easy to trigger. Brock is a legitimate BACK UP pg, not a Big10 starter worthy of 30 minutes a game.

We have 3 proven D1 players returning next year (Freeman, Dix & PS) & two freshman who are question marks. Dembele has potential, but he hasn't shown me much yet. The rest of the team is mid major talent. And don't even bring up Mulvey again for F' sake. I blame Fran's recruiting. Now if he can get a stud guard in the portal, we have a shot at the NCAA's next year. NCAA's are guard dominate & we don't stand a chance without good Power 5 guards. Or have you not been paying attention to our first round NCAA games the past years? Brock is not the difference maker. Get over it.
Let me know what time you eat your breakfast tomorrow so I can come pee in your cheerios & start your day off on a good note.
Definitely agree that we do need a solid or better than solid combo guard in the portal this year. If nothing else, for depth. Whether Fran believes that, or whether Iowa has the NIL funds to snag a stud is open for debate.
Again, sorry to beat on a dead horse, but as much as you post on here it's not helping your anger management. Wish Franisdaman could help me out here and post videos of Brocks 2 layups, his midrange shot and 2 - 3pointers as very few as you say backup point guards could provide while sitting on the bench.LOL, you're so easy to trigger.

The idea that he is susceptible to being overpowered is somewhat true, but it's no different than Bohannon and Brock is infinitely better at staying in front of a guy trying to go around him.
We all know Frans out there trying to find another shooter.
He better be now since Tony has left the nest. 3 scholarships to fill. All guards please!
Brock will never be a great defender. Fran doesn't know how to scheme defensively, so much of this is on him. Brock has quick feet & is capable lof keeping pg's in front of him, but too many times he tries to reach around them & slap the ball from behind. This is horrible defense & needs to stop. Puts the rest of the team out of position covering for this.
And if they become starters will you go away? Just asking.....
If they become starters it means Fran failed in the portal & we'll be back in the NIT. So nope, I'll be here advising you of the in's and out's of the game.
I did it just for you D.A.Cerruee? your day drinking again aren't you?
Do people actually enjoy listening to the background "music"?
his entire year of highlights in 1:30 or less.... now put together all the times he got burned on defense. Probably twice as much time... right @IllQChawk... lol
you didn't notice how many times his man would get by him while he would try to slap the ball away from behind? This is the epitome of bad defense. Forces others on the team to rotate & put them in a bad position. A good defender keeps his man in front of him. Brock gambles too much. Yes, he will get an occasional steal, but more often than not this creates a 2 on 1 situation in the lane. This will cause Freeman to cover for him & we know how that worked out, 2+ fouls on our big guy in the first half & sitting on the bench.
He has sufficient quickness to match up with most PGs. He'll always be at risk of being posted up.
And mid range even though no one likes those shots anymore
