I've posted multiple times that Iowa's Men Basketball Team biggest weakness is that it has no upper class compared to the competition they play. It really comes down to the senior class. Here are a few comments about the prominent players:
1. Payton Sandfort's overall field goal percentage made is 40.3%. For comparison, Freeman is at 63.8%, Dix is at 52.4%, Thelwell is at 55.5%, and Harding at 44.7% .
2. Payton Sandfort's 3 point field goal percentage made is 34.2%, or 53 made on 155 attempts. For comparison, Dix is 42 made on 93 attempts or 45.2% and Thelwell is at 25 made on 58 attempts or 43.1% . If you combine Dix and Thelwell numbers they are at 67 of 151 or 44.4%, a full 10% better than Peyton Sandfort.
3. Payton Sandfort has 41 turnovers, which is second to Brock Harding's 53.
You can make your own conclusions about the reasons behind Iowa's lack of success. Sure the defense can be awful, but is some of that a result of recklessness on offense? Should Payton play fewer minutes? He has the most played.
