No he just sucks
Same story with these Iowa kids. Beat up on bad opponents, run up score and individual stats, so nothing against good teams.

Pat has score combine 10 points agains ISU, Purdue, and OU yet averaging double figures.

Another hidden story from this game was Pavaletzke (SP?). He looked really comfortable out there and he shot the 3 very nicely.
I think we're better with Pav on the floor more. Jones may have more scoringe punch, but Pav is a lot like Lipsey and more often then not makes the right play with the ball. It feels like things just go smoother when he's out there.

We only got one Caitlin Stark highlight during the MBB game? Shiid, maybe she could have saved the hawks.

They did at least mention the Cyclone best point guard in the world who won on ESPN as our game was starting along with the other Cyclone NBA point guards. A few highlights wouldn't have killed them though.

No need to go off on a tangent about NFL QBs, they can just hype the basketball MVP candidate Cyclone.

Umm, have you seen Iowa play before? Fran defense is basically the opposite of frantic defense. They want a 90-85 type game.
Lol perhaps he has a different definition of "Fran"tic. Defensively they played their A game based on your interpretation!

Why do we have our starters still in? Iowa has had their subs in for a while.
Because their starters were all gassed, played terrible, and got benched. Fran did his thing where he kind of waved the white flag late in the first half.

He'd be their best point guard since Woolridge in the 90s...easily. I mean not even close.

Even BJ was more of a small shooting guard, he wasn't some wizard ball handler like Monte/Tyrese/Tinsley.
Dean Oliver was pretty good and on their most recent sweet 16 team. I hardly could name a legit PG they've had since then.

Interesting for sure. Not sure I would have ever pictured devries from waukee being drakes best player along with the sandfort boys playing huge mins for Iowa and Omaha getting zero mins on a 30 min blowout against Iowa.
You know that internally hurt Omaha not playing tonight Odd but I am sure Tj has is figured out .
Yeah Price Sandford getting some run and Omaha not is a bad look. Sandford doesn't even look like a guy who can play in Frans system, then you have the McDonald's All American sitting on the bench in a blow out. Not a good look and not a good feeling for Omaha I'm sure.

These next 4 games against creampuff opponents will be telling where Watson and Beliew stand minute wise..
Am guessing they both get 4-8 minutes and then continue to not exist come Big 12 play. I think the only real competition for minutes at this point will be CuJo and Pav for 6th man minutes.

Is it bad that I could not tell the difference between Harding, Dix, and the younger Sandfort?
Harding has the half sleeve and most punch able face. Dix has the worst haircut. Sandfort had the worst looking skills.
