Just to affirm my incredible bball IQ, I cut-n-paste my post from the following thread, earlier this week for everyone's reading enjoyment and enlightenment
http://www.hawkeyenation.com/forum/basketball/6629-how-much-will-sims-score.html
Continue the ridiculous man-man mismatch on him and he gets at least 14 in 1st half -- 29 for the game. So, at least he does not outscore Hawks.
Now, (cue hell freezing over)
make a coaching adjustment and playing a little basic 2-3 zone -- to pack it in and make the worst 3-pt % shooting team in the Big11 beat you from the outside -- and you might actually contain him and have a punchers chance at making it a competitive game.
Of course, all that is mute if Payne continues to launch passes into the seats / thru the heart of the defense
not happening, or if Cole continues to alternate between garbage points, fumbling the entry pass and shuffling his feet
umm, still happening or if Gatens continues to be incapable of hitting an open jump shot to save his life
umm, still happening.
It's really over if Fuller gets in foul trouble, early.
Happened but realized he had to play through it and must be on the floor for Hawks to have a chance.
So no one else has to start a thread that is the 157th version of "Who will be Iowa's next coach?" ... it is me.
And that is truly "jaw-dropping"!
