Some real benefits to this game

[perryhawk]

No doubt it was a snoozer to watch, but couldn't be much better timing:

1) Play without Garza so he can get some serious healing time to his ankle.
2) Get Connor some recovery time for the concussion.
3) Let JBO find his shot.
4) Joe W. getting his groove on..really developing confidence in the outside shot.
5) Moss continues to improve and show his overall game even if this wasn't a big scoring game.
6) Resting Cook at a good time since he has been playing A LOT of minutes.
7) Getting Ryan K some more PT even though he has been struggling.
8) Same for Maishe....needs floor time and got some in this game...in a slump and needs this.
9) Getting Nick the reward of a start.
10) Getting Till some significant time in case we need him later.
11) And this might be the biggest one...rewarding those guys that work their butts off in practice every day just hoping for a chance to see the floor.
12) 10-2.......one step closer to an undefeated noncon.

*Hopefully Bryant provides some more competition to sharpen the game prior to the B10...but a good win and a positive team send off into a little Xmas time off.

 

[Hawksfor3]

I think you nailed it, Perry.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Actually I found it quite entertaining.

 

[Buffalo43]

Moss has looked good over last 4 games

He needs to stay consistent in Big Ten play

 

[iahawks10]

Actually I found it quite entertaining.

Savannah St was quick, just couldn’t finish when they got to the hoop. They ran a lot of back door. They didn’t shoot as many threes as I was expecting.

Savannah St was bad, but the Hawks played well out of the gate.

Dailey beginning to remind me of Uhl. To a concerning level.

Dailey beginning to remind me of Uhl. To a concerning level.

I am worried as well....kids got talent, seems like a good teammate, and a great young man. He just can’t seem to develop the confidence and aggression to take advantage of his talent. I hope he turns around soon.

 

[perryhawk]

Big 10 network coverage of the highlights of this game were terrible. Compared to the other games that they showed highlights of at half time of the Michigan game, it was ridiculous.

 

[icwesthawk]

Get used to it, we're only Iowa

 

[jasonrann]

I like getting to see them play with a "smaller" lineup. Could help when we play a team that goes with four guards.

Seems to date back to the Dolphin comments. Thought he started the season off strong, having your own pbp guy make those comments can’t help confidence.

Win some more and earn it.

He has been struggling, but his free throw shooting has gotten much better. Which is nice.

I agree totally! I’m hoping the right person or comment will help Maishe get back on track!

 

[Hawk68]

I agree totally! I’m hoping the right person or comment will help Maishe get back on track!

He has never been on a BIG-level track.

 

[hawkeyeguy69]

Maishe wasn't playing well. And making some mistakes that he should not have made. Like dribbling with his head down into a double team. He should know NOT to do that... Dolph was only stating the obvious.

The little things, the small details Maishe needs to work on. But those little things add up. I wish Dailey was only a sophmore. As I think he has talent, and will only get better as the years go by. MD is one that I think really could have benefitted from a redshirt year...get used to the speed of the college game, build some muscle and start your career with more confidence... I guarantee you it helped CMac!

I am still hopeful for Dailey. Unlike Uhl, he has the talent, and a much bigger skillset. He just needs to put it together. Hopefully it will be before his senior year!

If that hurt his confidence that much then he is not a d-1 player. Plain and simple it was another fran reach and backfired again.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Exactly what talent do you see in him?

 

[EastIowaHawk]

Just imagine the thrill for the walk-on guys like Till, Ash, etc., who pay their own way to school, work their tails off, and get to play that long (15-20 minutes in some cases) in a TV game!). Maybe biggest sports thrill of their lives. And we may need them. We were down Nunge, Fredricks, Pemsl, Garza and Connor today. Hope we never see a day again when so many Hawkeyes aren't available.

 

[Mohawkeye]

I love Dailey’s game but he is obviously struggling shooting. He is long and has great handles and needs to learn to use his length when driving. I’m reminded of Kevin Gamble as a junior. Give him time.

Great handles?? Are we watching the same player?

Dailey looks great in warmups.

Well let’s get him a participation trophy.

 

[perryhawk]

Exactly what talent do you see in him?

Athletic
Long
6’ 7”
Good lateral quickness
Handles the ball pretty well for his size
Has a decent shot
Can guard 2G and SF position-versatile

Really, I think the only things he’s lacking are confidence and the subsequent aggressiveness that comes with playing confidently.

With those assets on board I think he would consistently play at a pretty high level.

 

[chuck285]

OMG,,, I hope Dailey doesn't read this. He won't shoot worth a crap the rest of the year and he'll have someone to blame other than Dolph and himself...

He and Joe have 6'11 wingspans.

Unfortunately this is exactly right. He should think about transferring to a mid major after this year. I doubt he gets much playing time next year.

Clueless

 

[SSG T]

I always find it interesting when someone with some decent talent struggles and people immediately say they aren't a B1G (or even D1) level player. Have you seen the bench players (not walk ons, the scholarship guys) on P5 teams not named Duke, Kentucky, Kansas?

Dailey is a perfectly acceptable bench player at the B1G level. Will he ever be a starter of star? Probably not, but he's fine as a bench player.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Clueless

Why? He getting squeezed out already this year.

 

[Mohawkeye]

Great handles?? Are we watching the same player?

Name another 6’8” in the Big with better handles? He is playing point guard where he draws the best on ball defender. If he weren’t asked to be the primary ball handler he’d be in a more comfortable role.

 

[hawkeyeguy69]

He and Joe have 6'11 wingspans.

Joe W has a 6'11" wingspan?? I did not think he was that long. That is a good thing.

 

[ZumaHawk]

He has never been on a BIG-level track.

I can agree with this and I didn’t say he was. I just feel he has struggled more since the Dolph ordeal!! I’m still hoping he gets better as the year goes on.

 

[hawkeye_1997]

I can agree with this and I didn’t say he was. I just feel he has struggled more since the Dolph ordeal!! I’m still hoping he gets better as the year goes on.

This is how I see Fran and Gary Barta have set up the season for another big ten conference collapse..... everything was fine until Dolph made a factual statement on the team and the season collapsed. Fire Dolph and let Fran keep getting more time.

Time for this team to step up. I’m tired of the excuses.

 

[Hawksfor3]

I just feel he has struggled more since the Dolph ordeal!!

IMO he has struggled, relegated to backup, but Dolph sure didn't help him.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Joe W has a 6'11" wingspan?? I did not think he was that long. That is a good thing.

Guards Maishe Dailey (6-11) and Joe Wieskamp (6-11) have longest wingspans among backcourt players.

Look at the paragraph "Measuring The Hawkeyes."

6'8?? Are we watching the same player? And no coach with any friggin brains would play their best defender on dailey. Its not necessary because he is not good. FFS, you're not bright

Good comeback. You win the internet tough guy award for the day.

It's OK Mohawkeye……….. We've all been there.
