Perkins and Ulis - Not starters!

[Chicagoherky71]

I’d much rather have Sanford and Dix in the starting lineup.

Also, I’m disappointed in Bowen. Everyone said he was going to be the point guard we haven’t had. I think Joe T is better offensively and much better defensively.

I hope he improves big time by next year and someone replaces Tony/Aaron in the starting lineup.

Agree. Our guard play has been terrible this year.

 

[BigDogHawkFan]

I really liked Perkins last year. He has been a big disappointment this year

 

[DewHawk]

We do not have a guard that can create his own shot

 

[BVHawkeye]

Ulis has 11 I think. Not too bad!

 

[DewHawk]

I know then Ulis goes off

 

[Slim45]

Goes off…then has 3 turnovers in a row.

 

[Bulldogs1974]

I swear msu travels on the perimeter one a possession.

I like it

Hauser at least three times.

Ulis' best game. He's played pretty well tonight.

 

[Chicagoherky71]

He made a huge costly turnover at the end and missed two important 1 and 1 free throws! I remain unimpressed

 

[sm_hawkeye]

I’m disappointed in ulis 6 turnovers. He had his pull up shot working but he had some turnovers that looked like he hasnt played basketball in two years. His frantic pacing didn’t just cause turnovers but also messed up the flow of the offense. Often times players cutting before he was looking to pass. It’s stuff like that, that has me wanting Dix out there.

 

[bansheexyz]

Ulis had many nice buckets tonight, but some really bad inbound turnovers and 0/3 from the stripe. It's painful to watch any D1 guard miss three straight free throws while their ogre makes most of his.

Yeah I’m not into hearing about AU and his points tonight. Poor ball handling and gagging on the line. Just weak stuff for the BT. That game was so there for the taking. In addition maybe not wait until about 12 minutes in the second half to bring someone off the bench. Why is it other programs play freshmen and Fran can’t pull the trigger? Damn frustrating. They needed that game

Of course he did, he's a Fran PG......

Best game of his career, needs to build on it.

Well this didn't age well! Sandy had 3 chances on wide, wide open threes, two for the win and missed all three. Ulis played well minus the FTs...

don't forget multiple turnovers and I do not mean two (actually 6). but offensively his best game at Iowa

 

[BirdistheWord]

Ulis was one of the few guys who had some sack and did not back down to IzzoThugBall. Someone else has to show up to score, Kris is allowed some off games. I thought a number of the turnovers by Ulis were fouls not called on MSU. Missed FT's were also big.

 

[BirdistheWord]

I thought 3 of those turnovers were clear fouls by MSU but not called. They got away with virtually everything in the beginning and middle of the game.

 

[CookyMonster]

You watched that game and came away wanting more Josh Dix? Lmao

AYFKM!?!?!?!?

Iowa is BLOWN OUT if not for Ahron Ulis tonight!!

Half their points came off of clear fouls that resulted in transition buckets

 

[Mohawkeye]

Ullis is the only reason we were in that game. Perkins really frustrates me, way too many turnovers from overdribbling and indecision. I’d start Dix instead, he’s playing well.

 

[twindman]

Ulis did not keep us in the game. If he was a good PG, he would have 2 or 3 turnovers. And 2 were inbounds under our own basket. That could easily be 5-6 points back right there. It also seems like both he and Perkins don't look for Sandford when they drive. A couple of times Payton broke for the basket or was standing in the corner and they just ignore him.

 

[WestCoastHawkI]

Ulis was getting mugged on half of those turnovers. The Big Ten really needs to clean that up. Saying that. We were right in it until the end and had two good looks there that unfortunately didn't go in. I was actually surprised to see a thread like this. I thought we played decent enough.

Dude was 8/10 including 1/1 from the 3. 3 assists and 2 rebounds and played well defensively. Give him some credit.

We’ll some of the turnover were uncalled fouls.

 

[goodbyebobby]

Yes,

Ulis was one of the few guys who had some sack and did not back down to IzzoThugBall. Someone else has to show up to score, Kris is allowed some off games. I thought a number of the turnovers by Ulis were fouls not called on MSU. Missed FT's were also big.

Yes, Ulis was certainly not afraid to battle. Now just quit dribbling E-W for the first 12 seconds of the shot clock.

Except when it counted he dribbled into the lane, stopped, did nothing and lost the ball

 

[Hawk_4shur]

13 turnovers, 3/17 from 3, 6/13 from the line - not going to get it done.

Only 6 bench points, Murray with only 11.

And still had a chance to win at the horn. 🤷‍♂️

But on the bright side - 23/40 from 2 (57.5%) was a strong showing, lots of points in the paint. Nice to see Ulis with 17 points, but 6 turnovers is awful.

Agree, everytime Ulis drove a rugby game broke out

 

[eyesofhawk]

Only one mention of defense this entire thread. I guess the average fan just doesn't think about that side of the court. You would think the six years of JBo defending the point stuck out like a sore thumb

 

[HoustonREDHawk]

It was pretty incredible how many times Iowa players lost control of the ball in the lane and often ended up laying on the court with no foul call. I don't know his name, but the fairly young fit looking Black official might be the worst B1G official I have seen this year.

At least three of his turnovers in the lane were fouls. He got squeezed between multiple players, with significant body contact. Piss Poor Officiating.

 

[twindman]

Problem with Ulis is the 6 turnovers is more the norm than the 17 points (or whatever). How many games is he 0 fer??
However, there doesn't appear anyone on the team that is better.

 

[the24fan]

Agree. Our guard play has been terrible this year.

PG play has been terrible for years under Fran.
BAU

This is very, very true.

I am not sure a lot of people watch much more than Iowa games, but most teams have better guards who can, shoot, dribble, pass, and run the offense effectively.

You don't think Filip's 16/11 had anything to do with it? The 17 pts were very nice, don't get me wrong, but his 6 turnovers were totally unacceptable. Especially the the one at 1:13 and the clank in front end of 1 and 1 right before that which was effectively another turnover. Hopefully he can build on his good scoring night and value the ball better going forward

People are stupid.

They want to come up with something to change after every loss.

Anyone who thinks this team improves with Dix at pg is fvcking crazy.
