2012 PTL final stats and thoughts HawkeyeDrive.com HawkeyeDrive.com
Brendan put together all the stats...some things that jumped out at me
Marble shot 27.7% from three and 61% from line. The three point shooting is something he has said he wants to improve on, but I think Iowa wants him to attack the rim more. That is a good idea, but if you are going to attack the rim, need to shoot better from the stripe.
Basabe shot 75% from the line and pretty much all those who went to all the games said his demeanor was different this year than last, in a good way.
Zach McCabe was 17-30 from three point range, for 56.6%. He was 22-49 last year for Iowa.
Josh Oglesbly was 17-37 from three, 45.9%
Mike Gesell averaged over 8 assists per game and more than 21 points per game. 39% from three and 88% from line.
Woodbury was 4-14 from the line. That's not a good percentage, but you'd also like to see a center get to the line more as it's representative of aggressive play. Basabe went to the line 52 times and Aaron White more than 70, by comparison.
Gabe Olaseni averaged 16.5 points per game and 6.5 boards per game. Not bad at all.
Jarrod Uthoff averaged a double-double (14&10), the only 'current' Hawkeye do do that this year
I do disagree with Brendan in that I don't see Woodbury getting 20-25 minutes on the season. That's as much to do with how good I feel Basabe, White and McCabe will be, mixing in the improved Olaseni.
