Last year's team loses this game today. Not saying this team is good yet by any stretch but Joe W. and McCaffrey can play. Those 2 and Garza give some good hope going forward. Bohannon being able to play the 2 will help his game and Dailey looks like he put some good work in the weight room this off season. He at least looks like a big 10 athlete now. He didn't score but played a decent floor game until he got hit in the face and needed stitches. Baer able to play hard in spurts rather than trying to have him log extended minutes is also a good thing for this team. Pemsl is the odd man out. Moss too. Green bay was pretty athletic. These 1st 2 opponents were good for the hawks to play against- not great shooters but athletic and quick defenders.
Yes, and 17our defense was underwhelming and we had way too many turnovers?

I was at the game, and one of the above posters was right, GB hit a lot of garbage shots/putbacks/etc. When Iowa was in a zone, they played their best defense. When in man to man, they gave up way too many baseline shots/drives.
One thing that really jumped out at me was Luka Garza. Every time he got the ball, he ended up making some type of post move towards the basket. He was really aggressive, and it was fun to watch. I think Cook will garner a lot of attention, so Luka will get some really good looks down low.
I really think some people don't understand, there is a lot of parity in college basketball, more than in the past. Teams are getting good players, even some in lower level conferences. Green Bay played pretty well today, and gave the Hawks a challenge.
I would agree there is parity. With that said, it's not great when UMKC is 0-3 and they got bombed by 30 by Loyola of Chicago and UConn. And then played a semi-competitive game against Iowa. Green Bay is 1-2 with their other loss at Indiana State. Indiana State also got beat by 17 at Ball State. From what I've seen in 2 games, Iowa is nowhere near ready to compete against Oregon, UConn or Syracuse. But that's why they play the games.
Cook and Joe W combined for 10 turnovers. The rest of the team was good with the ball.
What's up with Cook bringing the ball up the court so much?
Appears to me that this team listens to coaching. Fran is doing a LOT of experimenting.
He's helping Tyler raise his NBA stock and show that he's not just a down on the block player.What's up with Cook bringing the ball up the court so much?
