All time Three points made

Ice in the vein, balls of steel
University of Iowa POINT GUARD
And oh, he Fvck’d Wisconsin!!!

Iowa is going to miss things that JBo brings to the team next season. I hope I’m wrong about that.

You’re not wrong but it’s ok. He’s been that valuable, that he’ll be hard to replace for a while.

 

[HoustonREDHawk]

Huge down the stretch today, and has been clutch his whole career.

 

[DTP2]

Is there video of jumpball. Badger fans pissed on flagrant or T on Bohannon. I think he got fouled before jump call but would like to see it again.

You're not. The kid has gone though a lot with injuries and distractions but he comes though more often then not. Just wish more on here, would support him for who he is and the contributions to this team then rib him for not being the point guard they envision or want him to be.
My god, he has the Iowa record for assisted and 3 points made and is zeroing in overtaking the Big Ten record for 3 pointers. The kid has more balls then anyone complaining he plays more then a sophomore named Joe Toussaint.

 

[HawkeyeInCentralIowa]

One of the best to ever wear Black and Gold.

 

[The Deplorable Sleeping Dog]

Almost everyone understands Jordan has been a great player and a great "real" point guard, just a handful of guys that started bashing him as a recruit and see everything through that initial lens still pound that drum.

At most schools a guy that holds two major career records, and has made as many huge plays in crunch time as has Jordan, is a universal hero.

Just think of how many times Jordan's made free throws iced a win. That's no small thing and neither Joe nor Ahron have shown they can do that.

 

[BBHawk]

JoBo played with his heart on his sleeve. He may not have been the most physically gifted defender but he sure gave teams fits at times this year with his cunning. That time he stopped an OH State 3 on one fast break was a thing of beauty.

 

[Suterman]

Jordan has been a great Hawkeye since he set foot on campus. He and Luka have been a record setting duo and will be greatly missed. If Weezie goes, he will be greatly missed as well. They have been a great trio. (But the cupboard is far from bare).

For sure. I hope all are healthy for the post season.

 

[Hawkeye_Pride06]

An all time great Hawk. Will definitely miss both him and Garza. Two great players and even better people. Here’s hoping for a deep March run! These guys deserve it.

 

[jonesy5960]

Without him Iowa isn't a great team and they don't win today. I really don't understand the negativity. It's like some weird ideological disorder.

 

[Aleksei]

I would put Jbo on my list of 100 greatest Hawkeyes and that’s why I could never understand the ill-will toward him. In addition to the list by OP, the guy has been the most clutch player I remember, the second leading 3 point shooter in B1G history, was still great after two hip surgeries - I love the kid, and hope he’s successful at everything he does in life.

 

[NevadaHawk]

JBO was cash money in the second half. We needed that badly with Joe W out with an injury. 16 points and eight assists. Hit his FTs down the stretch. Gave the team leadership throughout his career. Jordan, you will be missed.

 

[skydog0784]

JBo one of my favorite Hawks ever to wear IA black & gold. Will never forget the Chris Street free throw.

Congrats on an outstanding career and best of luck in your future endeavors JBo.

An exceptional talent and interesting guy that has made the IA basketball program better than he came - both on and off the court!

 

[LuteHawk]

Besides, the career assists and 3 point records, there is
one more facet to his game. He made free throws at
crunch time. During his career at Iowa there were many
times when his free throws in the last minutes of the
game were the difference. Bohannon is a great Hawkeye
and deserves our appreciation.

 

[Aleksei]

I have to get this out of my chest.... I got into a lot of arguments with Jbo and Fran detractors on this board. I called them all idiots, and I’m not one bit sorry that I did!
Go Hawks!

 

[Hawksfor3]

Terrific player. As far as clutch shooting goes, he's it.

 

[Hwkfn1]

I will miss him. Most clutch shooter in my opinion.

 

[aurorabimmer]

Jordan is one of my favorite all time Hawkeyes. He has won so many games for us and never quits. Other B1G coaches will be glad to see him gone. The shoes at Hilton was classic. Right up there with TC's troll.

not calling you personally on this but cue all the people jumping back on the JBO bandwagon after bagging on him a couple weeks back. A lot of posters had written him off! LOL funny how that works!🤣

 

[win1forthe]

i really appreciate what Jordan has brought to the team and program. You can tell he loves the game and loves playing for Iowa. He’s very talented, obviously a fantastic shooter and tough. He will be remembered as one of great ones.

Absolutely. If Weezy can bounce back from the sprain and we get enough tournament games in, this trio will pass BJ, Eddie and Roy in career points in less games. Of course if Weezy comes back it's a forgone conclusion...

 

[HawkRugged17]

 

[PersianHawk]

He’s 19 3-pointers away from becoming B1G’s all time three point shooter. Can he do it? I think he will if we make it to the second weekend in the Dance. I hope he does. You go, Jbo.

This is why I love JBO and this team.

The tweet from Jordan is exactly how I will remember him. He overcame injuries in each of his seasons and never complained.

Always will be an all-time Hawk in my book.

 

[Underscore2]

Balls.

Massive balls.

Jurassic park ground thumping making the puddle water ripple balls.

 

[Mohawkeye]

He came in as a freshman and immediately proved he was a gamer. It seems like he has single handedly won more games for us than can be counted. I've been watching Hawkeye basketball for 40 years, there is no one else I'd rather have taking the last shot or free throw than him. Respect.

 

[BBHawk]

Without him Iowa isn't a great team and they don't win today. I really don't understand the negativity. It's like some weird ideological disorder.

It's going around...

All you need to do is read through the game threads. Of course, you'll probably go blind in the process...

It was amazing how many people suddenly forgot the impact this kid has had on our program. There was one guy who in the course of a long post, blamed almost every point the opponent made on Jbo’s defensive slowness. I wrote back that he forgot to mention the time the other team scored when Jbo was sitting on the bench. They all wanted Joe T to start, and I like Joe T, and again, I’ll never say anything negative about these young kids, but Jbo’s contribution to our program would take a lot of effort to replicate.

 

[Hawk_4shur]

Love JBo. Hawkeye great.

I guess it's just fans being fans that tend to focus to much on weaknesses instead of strengths and contributions. Here's an Iowa kid that's too short, too slow and too unathletic to play in the B1G, but puts it all on the floor every night and ends up not only a fan favorite, but a record holder.

We'll miss him.

 

[icwesthawk]

He has decided it's ok to take the ball to the rim. That facet of his game was sorely lacking and he could have done a lot more damage if he was able and willing to do that earlier in his career. He is great and I'm happy for him and that he's a Hawkeye.

 

[Beam me up]

Jbo is one of the greatest hawks to ever wear the jersey that says IOWA on the front. His cold ass shooting and team leadership in crunch time is second to none to those that have represented the Hawks on the hard court. He will be missed!!!

 

[hooper56]

I think it is fair to say Jordan has given the Hawkeyes more than we ever could have expected from him. He has won more games than I can count. I have nothing but good thoughts about him.

 

[jdw10224405]

Jordan is an all time great and exceeded any expectation coming in to Iowa. We really need to appreciate the games Jordan and Luka have left this season as it may be a while before the Hawks are back to this level of success.

 

[Hawkfan_08]

I have been critical of Bohannon for a few things but I've never said he wasn't a clutch shooter. He came up huge from 3 and free throw line in critical moments of the game. Even if I was upset with other things he was doing in the game, I always wanted him in during crunch time.

He's a great Hawk and will be missed... but that ending will not be for awhile. I hope.

 

[hawkguy77]

My favorite memory of Jordan is the Wisconsin game when he was a freshman. Jok had just missed a shot and Pemsl got Jordan the ball and he drilled the three pointer to win the game. That was the one of many clutch plays in his career. He will be missed.
