Uthoff/Jok

When is the last time you've seen them congratulate or high five/hug each other?

I've noticed this since the meltdown. But I may be missing some. None vs Temple though.

I've seen them talk to eachother during games and I've also seen Uthoff pump his fist while Jok was going on that tear against Illinois. They probably like eachother but they aren't best friends off the court (which is fine). They seem like opposite personalities and probably don't have a lot in common.

They are not shy to share the ball with each other as well. Just noticed when Uthoff is at the line after a shot, gets love from all but Jok.

I think that's just Jok. He is one of those guys that doesn't give any dap after free throws but will sit and wait for it from every teammate haha. Not sure I've seen him give anyone any love.

Uthoff was giving some cheer when Jok went on his run in the first half of the Temple game. I think you are just trying to find some dirt that isn't there.

You can look for anything you want to dissect why the team isn't playing like they did in January, Two things stand out to me and it's not a chemistry issue at all, The obvious one is the shooting percentage has dropped significantly, The other is teams have figured out Iowa simply doesn't have any true inside threat that can hurt them on a consistent basis, It is a big flaw that is biting the Hawks in the butt. We all know Sapp and MG are not true outside threats, With no inside threat it puts an awful lot of pressure on Jok and JU, Again it's not chemistry in my view, It's simply flaws in the personnel that we have to live with.

True. Gonzaga has three terrible guards and two great bigs. Sabonis has incredible footwork and and an arsenal of post moves around the basket and good hands. The inside game complements the 3pt game. I think they will likely make it further than Iowa.

Fran really needed to either get a post player with post moves or some dribble drive and more 3pt shooting options for this team. We have 3 guys playing that don't score. Too many non-scorers and our two scorers don't complement each other and aren't really shot creators.
