*****Minn-Duluth vs Iowa Game Thread*****

Thanks. Got to see about the last 15 min. Didn't really get a good feel for what we have. No audio, which could have been good or bad.

Random thoughts: Pryce is bigger and more assertive. Thelwell seemed pretty passive. Didn't really get any read on what the rotation will be at 4 or back up 3. Dembele seems to be back up to Freeman, assuming Brauns won't get as many minutes. Barely saw Traore? Dix is still my favorite player.

Traore's minutes:

6 minutes: 1st half
5 minutes: 2nd half
 
Will have to see how guys develop. But it’s really the 4 guys we thought who can score. Only one of them can play any D. And a bunch of question marks everywhere else.

I think Cooper is going to get some good minutes this year. Payton, Owen and Josh are going to score a lot of points this year.
Defense is still a work in progress .
Pryce looked efficient and Seydoe has some good hops. Ladji is a bit heavy footed on defense imo but still has a nice looking shot. I was impressed with Evan Brauns bounce. I think he backs up Freeman but way way too early to see how this shakes out. Let the games begin.
 
No comment from IllQCHawk? Brock started, but doesn't seem we got that allstar performance he predicted. This against a D2 team. I guess not very impressive.

Was something announced on why...I was looking forward to seeing how he looked?

Brock is a MVC type role player.

He can come off the bench and make fancy passes that look cool, but to think this kid can quarterback a P5 team and provide the difference maker at point guard Iowa so desperately needs is laughable.

Brock will be a big difference maker. He can shoot and dish. He does a good job staying in front of his man. He does need help if backed up to the rim. He didn't have a great night, just an OK night. Chemistry not there yet.
Against D2 talent? JFC.... how do you think he will do against Big10 teams?

Will Dix be our starting pg by Big10 season?

Discuss.....

14% shooting from our starting PG is not going to do it.

Fran did say he could play Dix at the 1 and Pryce at the 2.

Brock's stats tonight:

27 minutes

0-3 (0%) from three
1-4 (25%) from two
.....................................................
1-7 (14%) Overall Shooting

0-0 FTs

2 Points
6 Assists.....and 3 turnovers
2 Steals
1 Rebound

Would have expected more minutes for the new guys in an exhibition and less from the big three. We should know what they can do.
