They've jelled now.What impresses me is the number of teams that we've had a 30 point lead on during Big Ten Play.
Nebraska at home (70-35)
MSU at home (84-52)
Northwestern at home (80-50)
Maryland away (77-45)
Plus a couple of 23 point leads against Minnesota in an away game.
And then our widest margin in a conference loss was 10 points at home against Purdue. Our average margin in the 7 conference losses to this point is under 6 points.
If this team gelled earlier in the season, we got some better refereeing in a few games, and Keegan wasn't hurt in the first Purdue game we could potentially have between 3 to 5 more conference wins and be sitting in first place.

I loved Sky King. For those who didn't see him play, think Reggie Evans but better offensive game. Still I don't think he had the all around offensive game that KM does. Probably a better (at least more consistent) board man though..Keegan came close to being the first 25/20 guy since Sky King. in 1977.
King was a fan favorite when I was in college. He was a Keegan type player - the guy could really light it up and hit the boards.
"He finished his Iowa career with 1,361 points and averaged 21.0 points and 13.3 rebounds per game as a senior. He also averaged 18.6 points and 10.0 rebounds per game as a junior. He was selected second team All Big 10 by both wire services and to the NCAA Region Four All-Star Team."
FIFYKeegan came close to being the first 25/20 guy since he did it against NC Central in November.
