It's time to play angry and with a chip on your shoulder.

If this teams is going to get back to what it can be it needs you.

Needs you to get real mean.
 




The return of the ginja ninja....part 2.

I feel it. Plus, I like White and just wish he would look to score more.
 




Would there be anything wrong with letting him watch the opening tip from the bench? Start Utoff.

Fran has made zero changes to starting lineup during this debacle or all year. I know that the starters don't always get the most minutes,etc, but it does make a statement.

Maybe that would fire his _ss up!
 




As long as he plays out of position at the 3, with the very limited skill set he posses he will be a nonfactor, IF the other team is determined to eliminate transition.

Any decent coach will see how to game plan Iowa from the tape.
 






Remember When White said he liked it when people talked smack or disrespected him cause it gave him motivation?

Well, here is his chance.

This is so stupid. He a 25% career shooter from three, it's better that he doesn't start chucking.

No one is saying he needs to go out and shoot 10 3ptrs... but yesterday he made his first 1 then never shot again... passed up about 4/5 shots.

He is one of our most talented players - he needs to be a factor. He has to try to score.

2 shot attempts isn't going to cut it.

How is this season a debacle again? Iowa is going back to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2006? Help me understand your witty logic.
 








Aaron White is without a doubt one of, if not, the best player on this team. He made the USA basketball team as a Center......He is a playing the 3?

Look, I get that you have a legit 6'11" and 7' true centers on the roster and I get that we have Basabe who is a senior and an unbelievably talented 4......so you play your best players. One of them (White) just happens to be out of position.......

What I don't get is why McCabe comes in and sees minutes in the 4 when you have much better options (Uthoff, Oglewinkel) that can play the 3 and you could move White down to the 4.

It has got to be frustrating for White knowing that he is out of position and also knowing that he could dominate in the 4 spot with his quick hops and running attitude. It has also got to be frustrating to watch McCabe log minutes in a position where you likely think you should be playing.

Next year White is going to play the 4...there is no doubt in my mind....he will dominate and most on here will be questioning why he didn't play the 4 this year. Book it.
 


And by the way.....there is an example of my scenario above from this year.

When Basabe couldn't go and Fran finally seemed to give up on the McCabe fiasco in the Minny game, White started at the 4 and Oglewinkel started at the 3. White just happened to have his best game of the season; 8-11 shooting, 9 rebounds, 3 steals, and 21 points.
 


If he could develop a left hand, a jump shot and actually execute on the goofy shot-head fake-jab step-spina-roo thinga-ma-bob he enjoys.... Then he will be a force
