When CMac cannot score at all, it does put a lot of pressure on him to really over deliver in other ways. I thought his passing was stellar.
I really do appreciate Connor, but our ceiling is quite a few floors higher with Keegan in there.

I thought they both had great productive games
OP is to Connor what artradley is to COVID.
CMac 0 points, 6 assists, 4 rebounds, 3 steals
Murray 6 points, 5 rebounds, 3 blocks
Murray 6 points, 5 rebounds, 3 blocks
Conner played D and passed well. No elephant.
Conner makes the offense work. Conner makes everyone else on the floor better.
Keegan is just good and seems to have a knack for coming up with the right play at just the right time. I'm not sure how you can say one is better than the other because both of their roles are pretty important.

I am okay with both lines. Connor had a 3 halfway down and has been shooting better recently.
I noticed Connor tried the ‘one dribble’ and then shoot as suggested on Hawkeye Report.
Love what Connor brings but how does a coach's son have such an ugly shot?
It's pretty much even and the vets including C Mac pretty much closed this out. C Mac stays but must be implored not to shoot unless an absolute last resort.
He isn't white magic aka his Dad but he's a smart player and helps us a ton.
I think Conner is good at staying calm/confident in close games and keeping the offense moving. I think he commits some really smart fouls. I also like Keegan -what’s not to like?
Nah. They both contributed to the win in different ways.
Elephant-less.
Just curious what responses there'd be. People are less cantankerous discussing these types of things after a W.
No he hasn't. He's 2 for 19 in the last 5 games. That's under 11%. He's been absolutely brutal shooting the ball. The only good thing about Connor's shooting is that he doesn't do it very much
There is something to be said about a player that makes the offense run more efficiently without having to put up big numbers. No one else on the team has the ability to feed Garza the way Connor can.
I don’t have any stats but it seems a lot of the time he is the guy that ends up having to force one up at the end of the clock.. in my opinion he is an extremely unselfish player and puts the team before his personal stats. I like him
What?!?! Shooting better? You have got to be kidding? Don’t you have to be shooting bad to shoot better ! He’s below even bad shooting ! I saw it in person and he wasn’t even close tonight.
No one else could turn a pass into an assist like Garza can. Also, Murray is better than Connor. No one on earth would watch these two and give Murray fewer minutes. Well, one dad would.
Nope. Most of those misses are wide open with time to shoot and his man playing off. He's just a very bad shooter. To suggest otherwise is simply incorrect.
To clarify, Connor does understand how to feed the post. But that isn't a skill that every other player shouldn't have down pat when LG is posting up. Connor does it well and consistently. There's just no reason Keegan shouldn't be playing 30+ a game. Shit is foolish. He is one of the best players in the league. It's Ferentz-level deference and nepotism that Connor is getting those minutes.
You are the definition of an Idiot
Im not convinced hes actually left handed
That is an odd stat because I think that is what the team shot today from three.
I think the elephant in the room would be the Hawkeye shooting. Did they have an off night? Or was it more shooting in a large football stadium? Hopefully just an off night.
We're in the B1G semifinals for the first time in 16 years, highest winning percentage in many years before that. What does Charles Barkely say? "if it ain't broken don't fix it.
His FT shooting should keep him on the bench at the end of close games.
came into thread expecting to see this
Why do some of you regurgitate this BS. 4 of our 5 worst lineups involve Connor. He turns it over every time he shoots. We have a final 4 type team that will likely miss the sweet 16 because Connor gets minutes. Even at the end of the Game Wisc wanted to foul Connor instead of Garza. He should never be in at end of games. He shouldn't be in the game at all. We have great passers in CJ and JBO. Connor is dead weight for this team. He would not get minutes for any other Big Ten team and you guys know it.
Anyone who thinks Connor is as good as Keegan is too stupid to help. It's criminal that Connor gets minutes above Kris or Patrick let alone Keegan.
No elephant whatsoever. We needed everybody's best effort against Wisconsin and we got it.
