That was game number two, so you were close.

That was the second game of the year. Sullinger went for 26 and 10 in Gainesville.

And we finally have someone go off the deep end
.WAY too premature for early-entry talk. Chicago State blows.

If this team wins every game they will be hoisting a national championship trophy.

If the Hawkeyes win 12 National Championships in a row the Fran will go down as the best coach ever.

We were playing Chicago State for Christ's sake. I somehow kind of doubt that he'd have gone off like that against an Ohio State, or a UNC. Sure, IF he played at this level every night, he might not be here for his junior year. But why don't we wait and see how he does against MUCH stiffer competition than what he faced tonight before we ever even let that thought begin to cross our minds.
People keep comparing White to other Hawks. I will give you a comparison. Jake Kelly.
Jake had that ability to beat guys at his own position through creativity and fluidity. He also had long arms for his position.
While we saw flashes his first year, by the end if his second year, everything ran through him and Iowa was playing with good teams.
I see White as a point forward type along the same mold.
Think of the role Gordon Hayward played at Butler.

Check me on this but I seem to remember Roy Marble going off with 28 in his freshman debut, and roping that total the next night in tourney play.
I'm going on memory here but I think that's correct.
It will be very interesting how the line up shakes out. Obviously White is going to have to be on the floor for 30+ minutes a game when the competition ramps up. The weakest position is center but can White fill that against quality teams is the question. Can White, Basabe and Archie play effectively together?
White is NOT a 5. He can play that position, more or less, against other teams that don't have a 5. But he is really more like a point forward.
I am not comparing him to LB, because he had a different game, but White will do some of the same things LB did with moving the ball around on the front line. When the other players get used to it, it will lead to many easy baskets.
There are just players that can slow the game down. LB did it. Tyler Smith did it his one year at Iowa. Jake Kelly flashed that ability as well.
The three that White missed at the end of the game is a good example. He shot the ball short, saw it, came up for the long rebound and when the defense crashed, made a Bird like bounce pass that should have been an easy score. But the thing is that he didn't looked rushed at any point.
You just can't teach that.
