Other than the fact they play different positions, the deal breaker for me is Garza gets double and triple teamed every single possession of every single game. He is THE focal point in the entire Big Ten.
Seriously, who is the last Big Ten player to demand that type of attention on the Defensive end? I imagine there have been some, but not sure who it would be, and some of those guys were surely more athletic than Luka where that kind of strategy might be a waste of a defender.
That HAS to count for something.
Life is “so hard”....Sports POY really isn’t.....
Brad Underwood has called Luka the best player in the country in the past.
Hard to compete with that crack Iowa Marketing Machine!
If Luka plays well next two games (like 25 n 10 ish or more) I think it’s his award.
If he struggles or looks out of sorts, it’s going to give the pundits ammunition to start looking Ayo’s way. Just the way it goes.
And for the record, Ayo is a helllllll of a player. Like him or not.

For us non gamblers could you explain what those numbers mean? Sorry for the dumb question....
Let’s use the second example. If you wanted to win $100 on Garza, you’d have to bet $1400 in order to do so. In other words, he’s a heavy, heavy favorite. If Ayo won, and you bet $100 on him, you’d win $2400.
It's partly the media is trying to drum up competition for the award - Garza has been the frontrunner all season and hasn't had a bad stretch or missed games to threaten that status.
Meanwhile, Illinois has won 7 in a row, Ayo has two triple-doubles this season and is the clear 2nd place guy who could pass Luka if he stumbles at all down the stretch.
Ayo started playing even better after this. Underwood knows how good Garza is.
He doesn't. This is all created by the BIG media right now, wanting to add hype as the season winds down and we head toward the tourney. Just keep all these great teams and top players names out there to build more attention for the NCAA's best basketball league.
The thing that chaps me is the way he leaves Ayo in the game to score easy points near game-end to pad his numbers. Fran doesn't do that.
Another 3 TOs in the first half for the aggressive Ayo. Hell he may get a quadruple double tonight.
Got a steal and score with 2 seconds on the clock tonight. When his team was down by 12 points with no chance to win.
I am surprised that he didn't purposely miss so he could add another rebound, too.
Caitlin Clark had 34 points and 7 assists today against Maryland! But I suppose with your one track mind her 6 turnovers and 1.17 assist/turnover ratio were the more telling statistics!!!
Imagine this board if an Iowa starter had 23 tos over a 5 game stretch. Pure pandemonium. BTW....**** Ayo, **** Illinois, and **** whatever team you follow.
You’re dumber than a bag of hammers
0:02 Aaron Henry Turnover. 70 - 81 0:02 Ayo Dosunmu Steal. 70 - 81 0:00 Ayo Dosunmu made Layup. 72 - 81 0:00 End of 2nd half 70 - 81 0:00 End of Game 72 - 81
Sorry flipped it over when The coaches went to shake hands around that time and Henry in possession of the ball.
Weezy has 10 in the last 2 but I think the rest of his play has more than made up for some gaffes.
That’s what they get! Karma is a bitch. Keep losing. I hate that team more than any other team in the country.
