it looks like an NIT year. The biggest issue is the backcourt is in need of another vey good player. Not enough lateral quickness out front leads to a tremendous number of defensive break downs.

To early to say pretty young iowa team with lots of depth. I like our inside guys. And j bo can hit free throws at the end of close games to maybe steal a few wins at the end of games.

I agree with you for the most part, but I am not ready to go there (NIT) yet. Every team this time of year has some deficiencies and some things to work on. This team will look a lot different in February/March and have lots of ups and probably a few downs along the way this year.it looks like an NIT year.

Dailey showed well in the first half. It was concerning that Fran still felt the need to play Ellingson over him in the second half. Ellingson was beyond terrible. Our backcourt is hurt and in trouble.
That's moronic. This team is NCAA shoe-in as long as JBo doesn't get injured. With Baer and McCaffrey back we will be just fine
Let's see how we feel after the Caymans. I think you are going to see we cannot play defense to level needed to reach the NCAAs. Like our front court and young players but we see lacking a really good player in the backcourt. A player who can play both ends.
I agree that Dailey should get more minutes than Ellingson. Hope Connor can come back soon. Hes the best back-up pg
Lots of "Drama Queens" weighing in.
It's very early and the team was uninspired. I'll be concerned if they are still uninspired in early December against Big 10 teams.
They are excited about going to the Cayman Islands and this was a trap game.
i will take that bet barring injuries to cook garza nunge bohannon moss.it looks like an NIT year. The biggest issue is the backcourt is in need of another vey good player. Not enough lateral quickness out front leads to a tremendous number of defensive break downs.
Also remember teams in the B1G are built more similar to us instead of these tiny, quicker teams.
This is nonsense. Dailey is not a point guard and Ellingson is a 2. Connor will be back and boy do we need him.I like Connor who is heady and a solid player but he's not a next level player. He also lacks lateral quickness to play really good man-2-man pressure defense on the point. He's going to miss another 3-4 weeks so it's best just to red shirt him now and go with Dailey.
I think we should just forfeit the rest of the games if possible.
Connor was diagnosed with Mono. From Hawkeyesports.comI agree that Dailey should get more minutes than Ellingson. Hope Connor can come back soon. Hes the best back-up pg
Let's see how we look in the Caymans. That's going to give us a better preview of how well we can play with a major deficiency.
Wagner while I love his defense, he needs to learn how to score more
0-0 from the field 1-2 from the FTL, 1 rebound and 1 point, as a starter he needs to get up to 6-7 points per game. this is where Iowa is missing Baer as he led the team in steals, rebounding and Blocked shots. these were his stats the year he was named the BT 6th MOY
23.8 mpg 7.5 ppg, 5.8 rpg, 1.7 apg, 1.4 spg, 1.3 bpg shooting 44.8% from the field and 39.5% from 3. that a lot to have sitting on the bench.
now unless you the sky is falling posters were expecting this to be a 60-70 point blow out, go crawl back under whatever rock that you crawled out of.
and take this shit to the FB Forum.
I see us losing to Cincy by more than 20. Just absolutely getting run out of the gym.
I thought the season was over? Now we have to wait for you to evaluate 3 more games?Let's see how we look in the Caymans. That's going to give us a better preview of how well we can play with a major deficiency.
