Ken Pomeroy loves watching Iowa Basketball

But he's wrong! Posters on Hawkeye Report are flawless!!! Especially, @Moral

By the way, stan is slang for someone who is a very zealous fan. Stan can also be a verb for liking something a great deal.

Wait, what? Love me some KenPom!

Our defense has looked a lot better of late... Maybe that is because we have been seeing more man D???

Kenpom has the AdjD at 59th. Highest of the year. I like mixing it up. But aggressive man D has been working, yes?

If his model is favorable towards Iowa obviously he's a genius

“I will stan....”...?

“I will stan....”...?

Yeah I don’t get that term at all....especially when used how KenPom used it....

 

[hawkeyekid]

I'd rather Iowa get beat playing man to man most of the time. It at least makes some of the opponents uncomfortable and have to shoot with a hand in their face.

 

[BBHawk]

“I will stan....”...?

I think he meant "stand by"?

 

[SSG T]

“I will stan....”...?

A crazed, enthusiastic fan. Pretty sure the term is based on an Eminem song about a dude named Stan who was a nutcase fan.

I updated the orig post w/ this:

Jesus, some of you guys are brutally old.

Jesus, some of you guys are brutally old.

I'm 52 and knew what it was. It's not age, it's being out of touch with current happenings.

I actually don't know if 37 is 'old' in here or not, but these gifs are too fun not to share

Man defense means a lot less of those corner 3's. It was so easy for opponents to run ball action to one side and the zone rotates and then throw over top
to reverse corner and voila, wide open 3 and no chance for zone defender to get out there. Then there is rebounding....zone defensive shooting percentage
is deceptive stat because the defensive rebounding is SO much worse in a zone and you give up a lot more 2nd shots.

Man defense with JoeT and Keegan inserted is way better. I still don't like the starting lineup with undersized CMAC at PF. Keegan covers so much more ground and
he can actually contest in paint on drives or and provide real help to Garza on post defense. I still don't like Fran's starting unit. I'd rather see CMAC on bench or at the "2" some
and stay big at the "4"....

Dunno, Stan really isn’t that current lol

Jesus, some of you guys are brutally old.

You got two choices Sonny. Brutally old is one. Guess the other if you can. (and if you can't, ask someone much older and wiser than you)

I am a stan of your post.

However, I am sure some can't stand your post!

That would explain why I don't know WTF "stan" is. I'm an almost 50 year old hard rocker, who abhors popular culture. lol.

I never liked Eminem. That explains a lot.

That makes it worse, it's been around a while.

I never use it, because I think it sounds dumb, and anyone over about 30 sounds like they are trying to hard to be hip. But I know what it means.

 

[libertyhawkeye]

He also is inclined to like a team like Iowa since his own metrics favor them more than the AP/Coaches polls do.

Ken Pom "Sure, they (Iowa) are flawed in major ways, but aren't we all?"

Quote lifted from another thread, but a very concise summary of why I enjoy college basketball much more than the NBA. Can a team overcome individual shortcomings and perform at a unexpectedly high level? And maybe just sustain that high level for 3 or 4 weeks...

yeah, i was thinking about starting a 2nd thread on this topic, too

 

[Hawksfor3]

Stan can also be a verb for liking something a great deal.

Such as #RELB and Statue?

 

[Raptorpeeps]

“Stan” and “hella” in the same tweet...

Kenny P is really cool.

lol

 

[Hawks4Life86]

I Stan the F out of Iowa.
