Career PER 11.38 player who played almost 4000 minutes. That's astonishing mind blowing nepotism.

A few comps with long term 4/5 year careers:
Patty McCaffe, career 16.1 PER with 2500 minutes
Tony Perkins, career 18.1 PER with 2700 minutes
Mike Gazelle, career 14.5 PER with 3500 minutes
Matt Gatens, 4400 minutes before PER stat held but obvious he produced a ton more in every stat but played about the same minutes

Sure, no nepotism involved there. PER is probably Connor's best stat too because it rewards low turnovers quite a bit and you don't have to score a ton if you pass well and dribble well while just taking easy shots.


Slightly above-average player15.0–16.5
Rotation player13.0–15.0
Non-rotation player11.0–13.0
Fringe roster player9.0–11.0

Who would we cheer for?

If I even knew when the the game was on I'd be fine with KSU winning.

If Iowa won the KGAN, KWWL and KCRG coverage would be filled with 'We heard all week about how physical the Big 12 is, and we needed to let the world know we play that way too' takes from the post-game.

With that from what I've seen I'm not sure how KSU wouldn't abuse them in the lane.

And lest we forget

Gotta love that. He’s got a solid D-3 program. But seriously, the guy is a clown and an embarrassment to that school which makes him perfect. The fan base hates him, and they want him gone. Too bad. And Darien DeVries isn’t going to coach there.

I've said it a few times but the conference Fran's teams have played in is much different than Dr. Tom's. Fran has wracked up a lot of wins against bad teams and his top 25 record is actually pretty bad. Over the last 5 years Iowa is 21-22 against the top 25 and only 7-14 against the top 15. Fran has FEASTED on the bottom half of the conference.

But were they able to score more than 0 points against those top 25 teams this year?

If so, they got their spectacular football team beat.
