Wow, he got after it today. How many steals did he have?
Joe T is a junkyard dog
- Thread starter Eternal Return
- Start date
Quite a change of pace if you go from Perkins or JBO guarding you to JoeT.
JoeT is making a statement everytime he gets into the game.

Wow - lots of disruptions too!
He changed the entire complexion of the game; as he has several times this season since playing with the second unit. He seems like one of those that performs better after studying the flow of the game, the opponent's key player's tire, etc.
He should have played even more today actually. Joe T, Saucy T, and Payton S were absolutely exceptional today!

He was an absolute tornado on the court.
Love that mfers d. If he can develop a jumper, too....
He’s irritating, if you’re the other team.
Agree. The bigs always need to keep an eye out for him.
He got credit for 4 steals, but if you watch the game he was responsible directly for 6 Purdue turnovers

He played great, looked really confident and loose.
He really deserved this moment. Fran has been complimentary to guys accepting and thriving in roles halfway through the season, nobody has earned that praise more than Joey T. I am so, so happy he’s a Hawkeye and so damn happy for him. He’s earned this moment. Soak it all in!
Raw emotion - what an absolute warrior/team player!!!
If he doesn’t have a nickname yet, Tasmanian Devil would be a good one. That is what he looks like on defense running around the court looking to wreak havoc.
People talk about him hitting the portal, but this is always how he looks. I love this kid.
I thought 4 sounded low. He was so disruptive even when there wasn't a turnover. Tasmanian Devil.
I love him, too. He's always passionate no matter what, a one-man storm. This whole group of Hawkeyes, absolutely love them. The 86-87 Hawkeyes have been my favorite Hawkeye team almost all my life, but these guys are my new favorites no matter what happens in the tournament. Maybe it's recency bias, I don't know, but no other Hawkeye team ever made me think they were better or more fun than the 86-87 team. This one is even more fun. I mean, really, haven't you felt yourself becoming a bit more joyful over the past six weeks. These guys are a gift.
With the way he’s been in and out of rotations at times he could easily pout and be a cancer. But he goes 100% on the court and on the bench, supporting and cheering. Love that about him. Hope he stays. He and Perk for a backcourt next year is a problem for teams.
Interesting picture from his visit to Iowa City ...
That's Xavier Foster, TJD, Patrick, and Joe T ...

Impossible not to like Joey T from east of the Hudson.
Joey's going nowhere. He's a Hawk and tight with the team. Be very surprising if he isn't the starter, although fear of foul trouble might keep him on the bench.
But he is a Tasmanian Devil, with black and gold stripes.

I thought Joe T to PMac would be more of thing after last season, but we did see a little of it today. Both like to get out and run.
TJD with the one facial expression.Interesting picture from his visit to Iowa City ...

Crazy, Joe looks like a baby. Still not nearly as tall as those guys obviously but he’s a fu**ing man now, that’s for sure.Interesting picture from his visit to Iowa City ...

I haven't really been hearing any of this.
I know we won. I am not trying to complain and Fran has done a great job. Joe T needs more minutes! This guy might be the best interior defender we have. It's insane how many times he rips bigs.
And he seems to love being a Hawk. He gave up a starting spot and there was no indication of sour grapes whatsoever in his demeanor/body language, just an ideal teammate. We are lucky to have Joe Tough
If he only had a reliable 3 point shot and was about 2 inches taller.
His offensive game needs more improvement to stay on the floor longer in my opinion.
He doesn't pass the eye test at point guard for me right now. His dribbling can be strange and his decision making sometimes is suspect. He does keep his defender honest with his quick (sometimes erratic) movements
, and he's usually good for a couple of steals or at least making the person he's guarding make a bad decision due to his quick pressure.
I hope he sticks around and keeps working on his game as I love his motor.
He did really good today pulling it back out when he wasn’t “feeling”. In the past he would of charged forward and pushed it anyways.
I would not be surprised if Grandma has some grandma advice when he went to the 2nd string-something along the lines of you don’t quit.

Love his energy and it’s contagious. He enters and it’s like a switch is thrown and the D locks down which opens up the full court O. It’s a special team when they can dictate the pace and get out and run.
He may seem to be out of control sometimes but I’ll take what he’s bringing to the court every game because he’s making their point guard uncomfortable. And when he gets bored shadowing them, he dabbles in picking the bigs. Fun to watch.

He’s one of those dudes that if he played for Bucky we couldn’t stand him 😆
