Josh Oglesby Played Like a Champion

Lightning rod getting some love, he has played hard his entire career. He has a good all-around game, but he just hasn't hit shots and lived up to his rep...Iowa needed someone to step up and he did. Maybe, just maybe that consistency will come...not holding my breath been waiting his whole career. Glad he picked yesterday to have comfort it saved an embarrassing loss from happening.

Without JO we lose that game. His career hasn't turned out as he or anyone hoped, but he was a difference-maker yesterday and that has to feel great. Cheers!

I've been critical of his play, and I think it deserved criticism. Not the man; his play. But I can give credit where it is due and his play the last two games deserves kudos.

In my opinion, his best game as a Hawkeye when Iowa needed him the most. Great Senior leadership tonight.

I have been hard on him, for which I humbly apologize. He was terrific today

He has taken a lot of grief , along with the whole team. it's nice to see all of them playing better.

Bobby Hansen said he looked relaxed when shooting the ball, and emphasized that if he didn't think about it too much or too long than his rhythm was perfect......on the rebounding side, Bobby said, "Can we please just rebound the ball"....Since I didn't watch it, and for those that did, it must've been something to see...

Overall, the rebounding was atrocious. However, Oglesby had a monster rebound for us in the 2nd half when we really needed it. I have to agree with everyone -- great game for Josh and glad to see the 3's falling for him.
