One of the best things about this team Marble, White bad first halves team can stay in the game good D players stepping up etc. , then when Iowa hits on all cylinders look out !!!!!
Its a deep , deep, team JOK isn't quite ready, and in four years Iowa is going to want the scholarship open I think he is the only scholarship freshman ? Or did Meyer red shirt last year ?
Really like what I already see shortening the bench, White becoming more and more involved you can tell he put some serious work in on his free throws. The question is can Iowa execute and make free throws down the stretch.
obviously it looks like Utoff has the best stroke , but way easier said than done. End of the game you have to be able to dribble drive not Utoff game.
Jok has a real shot and has the right coach that will give him a great chance to be successful, I wish some of his aggressiveness to shoot would rub off on Utoff.
Marble point guard experiment is over, I said a long time ago and many times he need to score for this team. Also doesn't handle the ball well enough to play point. Its not going to happen again team so so so much better with him off the ball.
Like to see JO get healthy maybe play a few games towards the end and all tournaments, and if he doesn't play much apply for a medical red shirt.If he plays enough to not qualify fine I just as soon have to scholarship open then JO for an extra year.
Closer than it should be Iowa wins 20-16, Iowa is bowl eligible and if picked for a bowl which I'm guessing is a given. I consider that a win for the year.
One thing I have noticed and loved is how much the bench is into the games at all times. Jumping around cheering guys on giving high fives at time outs. Doesn't seem like a lot of kids pouting on the bench they are into it as a team it seems.
