Keegan may be the most important player to this team. I agree

Bruh we have the national player of the year on the team. Keegan’s great but stop.

He is so quick with those long arms... going to be fun to watch him grow

Keegan does everything well. The sky is the limit for this young man!

 

[General Tso]

The experience from these last two games against WI could be huge going into the tourney

 

[HawkLogic]

How they won shootiing 2/20 from 3 is surprising. They did it with defense, and Keegan is big part of defense.

True. But Keegan in my opinion is the most complete player on the team. rebounding, driving, shot blocking, defense, passing, he's very impressive. Then you factor in he's a true freshman not starting and it's just eye popping.

If we said most valuable sure it's probably Luka. But heck Keegan in the last two weeks has been arguably good for a win or two. (remember the big free throw rebound a week ago?)

Sometimes the big things matter. Like dropping 18 in a half when no one else can score.

PMac was some blocks as well and Weezy finally showed up.

 

[Harbinger273]

Keeg was Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge!

And to think there's another one just like him on the team.

 

[KuwaitHawk]

National TV will allow Luka to shine.

 

[The Deplorable Sleeping Dog]

Great team win. Everyone came up with big plays. Exactly what an experienced and talented team is supposed to do in March.

 

[BBHawk]

It's a whole team thing. Every player coming in is playing defense from the get go. The offense is flowing from that, even when they are throwing up turds.

Murray just seems like such a nice kid. Never showboats, intense effort, and you can just see from the interaction how much his teammates like him.

He's got a bright future.

”Most important” is clearly Garza, but I get the real point of the comment. Keegan is a bench spark, takes defensive pressure off Garza for stretches and can create his own offense. I don’t think it’s debatable that he’s Iowa’s most important bench guy. He probably was before Nunge’s injury, but he sure as hell is now.

 

[Georgia_Hawk]

For some of you old-timers out there like me, Keegan's game reminds me of players like Alex English or Jamaal Wilkes. I'm not saying he will ever reach the level those guys did (he most likely won't), but he has similar characteristics, smooth offensively and a very calm, cool presence on the court.

And the most clutch player Iowa has ever had at the end of games.....Jordan Bohannon.

Agree with all of that, he’s awesome. And I think he’s going to take another leap next year.

I wonder where he learned to rebound, @PHawkKenyon

 

[Rambler Hawk]

yup, Pmac played heady when it counted...

 

[Gonzo Bloor]

Keegan was big. He deserves more minutes. He deserves to start. Fran needs to open his eyes and sit his boys a little more.

 

[Franisdaman]

i hear he's an identical twin!

 

[RocknRollface]

Keegan's defense is a game changer

The two minute stretch where he played the 5 in the second half was impressive.

His ability to match up with Potter then switch to Trice on a screen suffocated Wisconsins offense.

Wisconsin got 1 shot off in 3 possessions.

Next year Iowa may actually be a better defensive team than offensive.
