Yeah, Wisconsin played better D against PJ the second half, but my gosh Fran find a way to get him the rock. Smells of another late season collapse for a FM coached Iowa team.
how do you not ride Jok's hot hand into the second half?

He needs some ******* help from his teammates and the coach.

I'm sure he would launch threes all game long if he could. Wisconsin took him away and Fran failed to adjust.

Get used to it. Minnesota gave teams the blueprint, and Penn St. and Wisconsin followed it. To beat Iowa, all you need to do is get really physical with them.

He was being hacked all half, but the blind zebras would not call a thing.
Iowa doesnt have a smart enough coach to realize that

The substitutions are becoming a problem again as well. Lineups are different every 4 minutes. It's almost like he just subs to sub. Nobody can get in any rhythm. 5 minutes in Brady Ellingson was in the game. Why????
Are you referring to Woody's elbow throwing on half of his rebounds? Yeah, they missed those all night long.

Jok was 1 of 6 in the second half, so actually worse than the overall team percent. The big sub early is always when they put Gesell and Woody on the bench five minutes in. We always have the lead early, 8-0 at PSU and 9-6 last night, and by the time they are back in, we are losing or the margin is a bucket. Has happened routinely this year. Part of that is Jok and Clemmons together in the backcourt is a recipe for turnovers every time. Not sure it's so much that they don't play defense, we just go sometimes three possessions at a time with maybe one forced shot attempt, so they catch up by default. Then we bring Mike and Woody back in with the three reserves, so our best shot is Mike having to force something himself since the only other option is an out of control Uhl. So then we've given away 8 minutes and two TV timeouts with hopefully playing even. We've had success this year with Uthoff on the bench for stretches (MSU and Maryland off hand), but last night wasn't one of those nights unfortunately.

Jok can't create shots. Take away the transition three or shot off a screen and he's not going to do much.

Jok was getting to the rim at will in the first half. At one point he looked right at Hayes and said "you can't guard me".
Yea it just sucks you have to "get used to" the refs allowing that kind of play. And it's not like Minnesota let the cat out of the bag that it's harder to score if you mug them.

Probably cause he doesn't miss in practice and Fran is looking for a spark from someone from the bench.
I assume that's why he goes in so early. If he's hot it's good to find out early.
