So why is Nunge redshirting ? We could have used him tonight
He needs some time to develop and there's too much talent in front of him,... I'm surprised he's doing it but I think it's a good decision on his part....

First game of a long season. They’ll get better.
Boyle was good offensivelyConner reaminds me of Kevin Boyle with better offense
The women are much more exciting to watch- fast games, fewer timeouts,Watched the first half and went to sleep. We at least won, but not very convincingly. Living in Florida,, I had to look to the internet to see the Iowa roster. I was amazed to see that the majority of players are from Iowa. This is a bad sign, as there has never been an abundance of basketball home grown talent.
Without players, it is tough to be competitive. Mc Caffery is no George Ravling in recruiting, but maybe is his equal in coaching.
First of all it's the first game of the year... so as expected a little out of sync and mistakes are common but...
1) We do not have a defensive stopper...the guards for UMKC were able to penetrate and move at will.
2) We did not show we can protect the 3 ball... lots of open shots outside the arch.
3) We looked stagnant offensively no movement lots of standing around .
4) Although we have the size our big men play too soft constantly putting the ball on the floor , not posting up strong, not going strong to the basket and not being aggressive rebounders.
So in summary: we look like the same team from last year with the same weaknesses.
The positive .....
Joe Wiescamp has a nice stroke and plays within himself and can only get better.
That's it... didn't see many positives tonight but it's early yet.
No, I'm a grown man, retired, a vet, and I don't think it's respectful to call gentlemen you don't know, and are probably your elder, 'dude'. It's part of the disrespectful 'millennial' (and younger) thing that I don't care for.
The Big10 tourny is March 13th-17th; I like your optimism.Yes....it goes from November to April.
Memories of Jeff Horner for me after that post. :0The one thing I continually want to head butt a knife over is when their guards drive and we’re in good defensive position we always leave the open 3 shooter to help on the guy driving.. make them toss up a crap two point shot fading away over leaving the wide open 3 point shooter. For the love of everything!!!

Your point guard is rarely going to get many rebounds unless you want to give up points in transition.
Another disrespectful millennial running his mouth. And another keyboard warrior talking to a real warrior, a combat infantry vet, like he's some tough guy. I couldn't care less what you believe to be 'cool'.
Pretty amazing. I make a reasonable post about what I thought of the game, wasn't directed at anyone or in response to anyone's post. One of you twits responds very disrespectfully and when I point out that his response wasn't called for and disrespectful, another one of you young punks comes on and defends that behavior. And we wonder what is wrong in the country? Poor parenting, and it's obvious with you two. Run your mouths some more. I'll just block you. I don't have time for punks like yourself.
This probably makes the most sense of all. Wait and see.Some of you really need to lighten up.
That being said, its pretty hard to read anything into one game. Saw some positives and few negatives. We will know a lot about this team by December.
Not if Cougill is playing!Can we get past UW-Greenbay ?
Cook had 5 assists and just 1 TO' and shot 4-7 after avg'ing 56.6% which led the team in shooting percentage. yeah he is a lousy shooter. somebody is definetly lacking in the mentality department on Cook.

IMO Cook looking to pass will improve his game and be great for the team. There were times last year that he refused to pass the ball when he was double (or triple) teamed. JW will be on opponents scouting reports, and they won't be able to sag on the interior hopefully.Those are good numbers. Would love to see him punish people in the paint more because he has that ability and is extremely tough to handle in there.
I suggest watching the game instead of just looking at stats. Tyler was 0-3 on jump shots last night, 4-4 on layups. 57% is NOT a good FG% for a PF. He had 5 assists to two turnover. He had a no look pass that flew out of bounds. It was a bad pass that shouldn't have happened, especially because it was a pass to the outside, where nobody was on the Iowa guy. I'm guessing you were looking in the mirror with your last mentality comment.Cook had 5 assists and just 1 TO' and shot 4-7 after avg'ing 56.6% which led the team in shooting percentage. yeah he is a lousy shooter. somebody is definetly lacking in the mentality department on Cook.
1st game and Cook was not perfect OMFG. BUT Cook had 8 rebounds and 3 blocks something he not known for doing, assist are not his main forte.I suggest watching the game instead of just looking at stats.

Oops, didn't realize who you were until this post. I usually just ignore you after your first post. Good day. Keep fighting the good fight. Keep shooting jump shots Tyler, it's great for the team, because Kilroy says so.1st game and Cook was not perfect OMFG. BUT Cook had 8 rebounds and 3 blocks something he not known for doing, assist are not his main forte.
12 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks with his 2 TO's. quick execute him.
JBo 2-6 1-5 from 3, 4 rebounds, 3 assists. 4 TO's
maybe you want him removed from the team? or better yet lets just shut the BB program down and NEVER restart it again.
HMMM the NBA experts on the draft has him as a solid 2nd round pick and if takes more of a leadership role and leads Iowa back to the NCAA's they project him to be a 1st round pick. 1 of the things to becoming a 1st round draft pick Cook needs to improve his range out past 17'. but hey you know more than NBA Scouts whose job is to pick players for the NBA and instruct them on what they need to do.Oops, didn't realize who you were until this post.

Lol, dude come on. Tyler isn’t playing in the nba, he’s not a second round pick, and most definitely isnt a first round pick, Ever!!!!!!Personally, I’d rather not see him hurt Iowa by bricking jump shot after jump shot, he needs to stick to dunking and layups.HMMM the NBA experts on the draft has him as a solid 2nd round pick and if takes more of a leadership role and leads Iowa back to the NCAA's they project him to be a 1st round pick. 1 of the things to becoming a 1st round draft pick Cook needs to improve his range out past 17'. but hey you know more than NBA Scouts whose job is to pick players for the NBA and instruct them on what they need to do.Oops, didn't realize who you were until this post.

quick go tell Fran and Cook you don't approve of what Cook is doing.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

people were sayinfg White and Marble WOULD NEVER get drafted and yet they both were 2nd round NBA picks with Marble making the team. sorry but this came from a projected Draft board that Cook was a solid 2nd round NBA pick and what he needed to do to become a 1st round pick.BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! First round pick.
He needs to understand that when the NBA said you need to learn to pass and have more assists they meant pass the ball out when 2 or 3 guys collapse on you. Not that they thought he has going to become a PG.Not sure if Cook is ready to be Magic Johnson
Put him on the block for the love of god!
I give Fran credit, he’s letting Tyler try.
I’m sure Tyler didn’t say “I’m back for another year. Post me up, Coach!”
Connor is the same size as PG Nick Babb in Ames and he averaged 7 rebounds a game last year.
Walleye70 Kevin Boyle was terrible offensively. Connor M is WAY better offensively.
