Got 4 rebounds (3 offensive rebounds!) and blocked a shot in 9 minutes at Rutgers. How is this guy not getting more minutes? He’s a rebounding machine and plays very solid defense. I just don’t get it.
Can't disagree - he certainly looks like he can help from defensive and rebounding standpoints.Got 4 rebounds (3 offensive rebounds!) and blocked a shot in 9 minutes at Rutgers. How is this guy not getting more minutes? He’s a rebounding machine and plays very solid defense. I just don’t get it.

Dembele is more stilted on offense than Mulvey. I just don’t get it.I am guessing because he doesn't trust him on the offensive end. They don't even really look at him on the offensive end. He pulled Traore in the second half because he did something Fran didn't like on the offensive end. I wish he would pull guys for defensive lapses.

I think he did quite well. For the amount of bench time he's been getting, he looked ready to play and showed that. Good for him.Got 4 rebounds (3 offensive rebounds!) and blocked a shot in 9 minutes at Rutgers. How is this guy not getting more minutes? He’s a rebounding machine and plays very solid defense.

This x1000! I guess on most nights then only Dix stays out there and we play 1 vs 5?I am guessing because he doesn't trust him on the offensive end.

I think it sounds logical…😎A couple of times during the Rutgers game, I saw Riley doing a really good job of boxing out while awaiting a rebound ... it's something you rarely see among Iowa players.
So this leads me to my wild conspiracy theory. Maybe Riley has been deemed "uncoachable," in that he reverts to the skills and techniques he learned in high school, rather than playing the way Fran teaches.
It makes as much sense as anything else. 😂
Yep more than coach but a 2nd dad however many on this message board just look for wins and loses and not how a young man is developing to after basketball
Can’t we be appreciative of some of the Fran’s accomplishments and positive qualities while still believing it has been 15 years and is time for change? We can still expect to bring in a good man as next coach.Yep more than coach but a 2nd dad however many on this message board just look for wins and loses and not how a young man is developing to after basketball
