Who had the better night....

Gatens Versus Wisky
12-18 FG, 7-10 3PFG, 3 Reb, 2 Ast, 0 TO, 33pts

Marble Versus Oregon
10-15 FG, 7-8 3PFG, 5 Reb, 5 Ast, 0 TO, 31pts


As I look at it, I'm going to say Marble had the greatest night in the history of Iowa basketball.... ever. That line is ******* insane.

I'm going with Gatens, simply because we won that game. Marble should be proud of the game he had, but I'm sure he'd have traded the line for a win.
 
Gatens because he had tougher shots that night than Marble. Dev had his feet set and caught the ball in rhythm all day yesterday.

Gatens was blanketed by Wisky and was drilling tough, contested shots all night.
 
Gatens--We didn't score 90+ against Wisky. He had a far greater percentage of the team's total production.

Marble's performance was amazing, but Oregon didn't play a lick of defense. Wisconsin was in Gatens' face the whole day and he still whipped them.

exactly!
 
greater performance - gatens: without his play we lose by a lot since he was basically the only guy that was consistent that day.

most telling - marble: people learned marble could spot up shoot yesterday. we knew what he could do with the ball but the catch and shoot he showed yesterday will be important next yr.
 
Marble was great but it's Gatens easily wisky way better defense and Matt draws the best defender at all times is the defenses focus

Have to agree with Duff here. Devyn's numbers are just ridiculous in this game. And all of his shots weren't easy shots either. I don't think this is going to be his best game after he's done @ Iowa. There was an article that said Fran told him he wasn't being aggressive enough and Marble watched tape and saw that opponents weren't respecting his long ball.
 
I voted for Gatens. Marble's stat line is much more ridiculous. But as mentioned, Gatens did it on the best statistical (Lowest opp scoring I believe) defense in the country. Marble did it against Oregon's terrible defense. Definately one heck of game by Marble though.
 
I'm serious when I say Marble might have had the best stat line in the history of Iowa basketball.

You certainly may be right. I just think that Gatens' was a better performance given who it was against. I agree that Marble's stat line is better, not really any doubt about that, but for pure performance I went with Gatens game against Wisky.

Reggie Evans put up some great stat lines in his 2 years at Iowa.

Against PSU in the Big Ten Tourney in 2001:

30 points, 18 rebounds, 9/14 FG, 12/17 FT
 
Definitely Gatens. Marble's number were insane, but as has been said, Gatens did it against Wisconsin. That was the biggest win of the year, and without him we wouldn't have had a prayer. He hit shots with guys in his face all night, and the shot he made while getting undercut by a defender was one of the best shots of the year.

Marble's behind the back, step back three at the top of the key was sick, though. That one might have been the best shot of the season.
 
IMO, it goes to Marble because it is a one game snapshot. 2nd round of the NIT at Oregon and he has 15 3's all year and hits 7 in one game. Gatens made some crazy shots against WI and it was an amazing performance, but he has been a solid perimeter shooter throughout his career.....Marble not so much.
 
For a little perspective, in 1969-1970, John Johnson averaged 27.9 points (still the Iowa record) and 10 rebounds a game.

In 1970-71, Fred Brown averaged 27.6 points and 4.6 rebounds per game while shooting over 50% from the field in 24 games.

I could not find a game logs from back then, but I would bet there's a game in there they may have challenged these 2 games.
