Will he ever log another meaningful minute? Williams has a lot of growing to do, but just brings way more to the table.
 
Was Wagner the first big man off the bench ahead of Uhl as well tonight? Didn't seem like Uhl got many minutes.

Uhl was first sub tonight.

Ellingson has brought nothing to Iowa of late. I would not expect to see him in a close game.

Hopefully he improves in the off season.

I think you are correct. Uhl needs to get his head on straight. I've been waiting for him to turn it around and I'm not sure it'll happen this season.

As for ellingson, no I think he's probably done. Since he's already burned a year, he'd be wise to go the Kyle Meyer route and go Juco for a year.
 
I have no idea why wagner got 0 minutes the last 12 minutes of the game. Woody is not at his best playing in long stretches.

Williams has made a lot of progress. He already has a better looking shot--esp from the ft line--than either Gesell or Sapp. At 6-6, he'll create some real mismatches at PG next year.
 
Williams is a nice player, but you saw tonight he is scared to pass the ball into the post. Tonight I counted 3 times where he did not feed Woody or Utoff in the block. I don't know if that was by design, but he has to get the ball inside. I agree that his build is upside, but I would like to see him get a little stronger before next year. The kid look smooth when he's on the court, seems to be playing within himself which is nice. I would not like to see him come in and start chucking up bad shots.

To be truthfully honest, NO. None of our PGs have been able to feed the post or dish it off since Cartwright. sorry but he was the best PG Fran has ever had here at Iowa. He was very quick and had good handles. I hope Fran can find a player like him in the future. The 6-7 guards are nice, but you need a change of pace PG to come in and get into the lane and be quick. You see every program in the nation has a shifty/quick PG, except Iowa.

Very true. Thanks for not engaging in my hysterics. I loved Bryce as a player for bringing his huevos with him to the court. I'd much rather have a player that makes a few mistakes while being aggressive/creative than one who takes no chances and whose actions can be predicted from a mile away like Mike G.(also look at why Jake Rudock wasn't right for the football team. Announcers love to talk about their A/TO + INT ratios and it just makes my head explode.)
 
Brcye Cartwright was one of the worst defenders Ive ever seen on a basketball court.

MG is a much better player overall.

I might take BC if the game was only played on one end.
 
I don't know, but I am disappointed in Uhl officially at this point.

I think players are passing Ellingson but also going to start cruising past Uhl if he doesn't start to bring it.

Fran I think needs to seriously think about doing some Creaning quite possibly the next season or two.
