Man he sure deserved a standing O from 15,500 today
Luka is the face of everything that is good with Iowa basketball.
well deserved indeed; but the other thread by the troll (Chis) wasn't needed
fans missed out on a lot this season; and don't feed the troll (Chis) who comes over here from HROT to create duplicate threads
A once in my lifetime player. Thank you Luka!!!!
What an absolute joy to watch. The honor is ours.
Wish Fran would have spoke instead of that fumbling boob Barta. He’s about as eloquent as a 6 year old southerner

The jersey they retire to the rafters should have blood on it. Just sayin.
Do they make them any classier than this kid?
Wonder what Acie Earl is thinking about right now . Happy? Sad? Happy sad?
Luka is everything you could hope for in a student athlete, the grace and poise he displayed in handling the pressure off the court was as impressive to me as what he did on the court. Watching him grow over the past 5 seasons has been one of the true pleasures of my near 4 decades of being a sports fan. I'll never forget how lucky we've been to have him, haven't been this passionate about Iowa basketball since I was a student season ticket holder over 20 years ago. Thank you, LG!
Right. He was also #55 and could make the claim to being as good as Luka. His blocks records will never be broken, and he is still #4 career scoring I believe.
Its hard to beat 2x National Player of the Year, 2x Consensus AA & the school's all time scorer.
1 Luka Garza...2,180 (4 yrs: 2018-2021, 122 GP, .545 FG%, 17.9 ppg; 112 three pt goals)
2 Roy Marble...2,116 (4 yrs: 1986-1989, 134 GP, .539 FG%, 15.8 ppg; 26 three pt goals)
3 Aaron White...1,859 (4 yrs: 2012-2015, 140 GP, .517 FG%, 13.3 ppg; 61 three pt goals)
4 Acie Earl...1,779 (4 yrs: 1990-1993, 116 GP, .508 FG%, 15.3 ppg; 2 three pt goals)
There’s some pretty good company on the List! How is BJ’s number still retired but Joe W wears it???
I think for #10 they said they retired the jersey not the number. I don't recall anyone wearing it after BJ until Gessel.
I wouldn’t retire any numbers (Street being exception).
hang jerseys that their name and school logo on them.

True enough, BUT as Barta pointed out its likely Luka will be (at keast by several publications) back to back national player of the year, and a two time consensus AA. The last guy who won those accolades was some guy named MJ, and obviously NO ONE at Iowa......
Thank you Luka for being our All American and for breaking and setting records that future Hawkeyes will aim for. Most of all, thank you for being an outstanding example for Iowa basketball, and your tireless dedication to be the best you can be.
