Two things I've noticed in this game.

The game is far different today than it was in the 1980s. 30 second shot clock instead of 45. Can't just pass the ball forever and run guys off screens forever. You have time to run 1 maybe 2 actions, then a shot needs to get up. A player with Alford's same skill set isn't a 2,000 point scorer like he was at Indiana. Not happening.

I like how Iowa is using Bohannon this year. There will be games he makes an impact, like Virginia. There will be others where he doesn't, like Purdue.

I actually thot he played ok the other night. Didn’t score much, but he got tons of attention whenever he had the ball. He didn’t force anything. Also drew double teams a fair amount when he had it. And his defense looks to be improved this year, either he’s giving more effort or he has more mobility after his surgeries, or a combination. I do wish Fran would run more sets for him coming off screens tho

Bohannan has no place in a game like this because he can't guard anyone and he can't get open for a shot. The second is why is Conner Mc Caffrey shooting three's when he's one of the worst shooters we have?

You do understand that if the other team is giving that much attention to a auto 3point shooter is a good thing. Making or missing my.

As far as Connor. Love the kid. Dad has officially out recruited him and it's time for Connor to accept that. He can still help this team and I would love to see him come in and be a player that gets attention by being a little extra grabby and mouthy. When there is a player the other day and hates out there it takes a lot of pressure off the rest of the team. We need a villan and who better than coaches son and older brother. Somebody needs to let connor in on this idea.

I agree too many people lump both players together . Bohannon will be a key figure this year at the off guard for a few reasons. I think Fran has used him well this year so far.

Connors minutes should be very limited . He plays hard but he is not an effective offensive or defensive player. He probably got way too many minutes last year as well, but that’s old news.

Sandfort might be great down the road but he doesn't look ready for extended minutes to me. I agree with the other 2 along with Ulis.

Exactly, I really liked the rotation with all three, Joe, Ahron, and Tony.
