He only averages 2.8 fouls per 40 minutes. His defense has taken a big jump this year but hes not one of the best defending big men in the league.
It's more important for him to stay out of foul trouble anyway even if he gives up an easy bucket here and there.
The frustrating thing with Myles is he gets a lot of moving screen and reach in type fouls outside the 3 point line. If he is going to foul save them for battling bigs under the basket or protecting the rim from a guard driving. He is working on it though and I think been better in the screen issue at least as of late
Refs respect Luka ...works extremely hard and doesn’t complain about fouls against or not gotten.
Many players could learn from how he goes about his business.
Geezus, that is almost -- almost -- more impressive than Fredrick's 50%+ 3-pt shooting. Most big men don't have the skill to avoid fouls at that kind of rate.
Do you guys think that Garza will leave early for the NBA? He'd be crazy not to, with the year he's having.
No.
As you will see tonight, Garza is a super effective big guy but his game doesn't translate to the NBA that well.
If him and Wieskamp come back, Iowa will be loaded next season only losing our 6th man (Kriener) and a grad transfer (Evelyn) that is playing about 16 MPG.
Garza’s own father says he’s usually the most unathletic player on the floor and that he’s coming back for his senior year.
Sounds like Iowa will be a top 4 type team battling for the B1G title next year. I was wondering about Garza and the NBA. I know hes not a crazy athlete but if he can hit the 3 the NBA definitely wants that from their bigs. Myles is strictly in the paint only player
Garza shoots the 3 well for a big man (38% this year) but rarely is he more than a few inches behind the college 3 point line.
It would be a stretch to say he has NBA 3 point range at this point in his career.
With the college line moved back it's not that big of a difference really. He will have a nice euro career if not the NBA
That’s the general consensus. Garza could have a very nice Euro career, but his athletic limitations will curtail his NBA opportunities.
Nope not looking for sympathy - next man up. Just saying RU played IL tough at their place.
Yea but admit it. You really enjoyed our 1 win on the road now didn't you.
Hey Rutgers fans. I will be pulling for you guys rest of the year. I was impressed with them tonight. Btw, I love your coach. He seems like a complete class act.
Good game to Rutgers fans and thank you for being good sports on here this week...
I am thrilled that the Hawks don’t have to travel to the RAC this year. I wouldn’t like our chances

Playmaker Paul had 2 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 2 turnovers and 3 fouls tonight.
Yeah, he didn't have a great night. He struggled with your physicality and the road environment. Still, he's a true freshman, and will probably again be a reserve next year as we're not losing any guards to graduation.
You guys did a great job of denying the top of the key entry passes against the zone, and made the lane a meat grinder for penetrating players. Honestly not sure how we scored 80 - just Harper having a big night when our guards were mostly struggling.
Hope to see you again in March. Good luck the rest of the way!
Unless I missed it a bunch, I hardly saw him at the free throw line against our zone. Was he there much when he was in?
He tried early, but you were running something of a 1-3-1 at that point where there was a defender taking up that position. At other times your guys did a great job of shutting that passing lane off and pushing him away from that spot.
Much later in the game Johnson got the ball at that high post spot a handful of times, but he's not the best distributor - and is usually the one who benefits in the lower post from a guard getting the ball there.
Really good scouting and game plan overall defensively which largely kept our guys out of the paint where we score most of our points, and really frustrated all of our guards (Mulcahy wasn't alone in having a rough game).
Our guards were totally stymied. The five guys in our guard rotation went 7-26 (.269) for just 20 points.... where their conference averages (including this game) are 13.4-35.0 (.383) and 35.5 points. It was a similar poor road outing to our loss at Pitt, where those five went 9-31 (.290) for just 23 points. If it weren't for Harper having a career night, the game would have spiraled out of control.
Garza is averaging as many points as 2 players and stays out of foul trouble.
He is more than a back to the basket guy. Can play inside or outside and runs the floor well.
Harper obviously has a ton of confidence against Iowa, his prior career high was last year in Carver.
Great game that could have gone either way. Iowa really had just one bad stretch in the second half, when the reserves gave up some bad TOs and couldn't score. We then had trouble getting the ball to Luka for most of the end. Iowa did an exceptional job minimizing offensive rebounds, which was my biggest concern. In the end, if Young doesn't miss his point blank shot on a nice drive in the last minute or so, RU would have been right there. Fortunately, Connor, JoeW, and CJF, who usually will have the ball at the end of a game, all make their FTs.
Good luck to RU going forward. Class coach and an impressive, hard-working team.
