I mean, how bad was that turnover? Jumping in the air and throwing it to a guy who was triple teamed?
I'd rather see Nick Neari handling the ball.

Matt Gatens shouldn't see the floor the rest of the year

It's not anger, it's sarcasm. That turnover was just as bad as any Iowa has had tonight, and came at a really bad time.

It's a joke because Shada is ****** that others (most) have said his boy little Lick shouldn't see the floor the rest of the year.

No, I just realize that this teams problems run deeper than the amount of minutes that John Lickliter gets. Complaining about him seems to be a bit of a red herring.

He's better than 12 points a game. Especially with the lack of scoring on this team.

Again, that's also an easy argument to make based on the performance of the team. If there is a mass exodus of players after the season, I'll agree with you.
If there aren't, Lickliter deserves a chance to coach a full returning roster. Well...maybe deserves is a strong word, but he'll get that chance regardless.

His season average is right at 12.
Yes and there will even be less people in the seats next year and Iowa BB program will lose even more money.

Exactly. He's better than that.

This year, he isnt. He's actually a bit better than he was last year, just over a full point better.

It's sad but when I saw this thread I thought what if Matt had went elsewhere... I think we could all agree that here at Iowa he is probably asked to do more than he should. I guess the first comparison that came to mind was Bohanon at Wisconsin, because he is an Iowa kid. If Gatens would have went to a school like Wisconsin where he was a role player and not expected to be a leading scorer he could have flourished. Granted I'm glad he is a hawkeye but just a thought...

Honestly, i think it's more along the lines of Iowa fans deserve to see a full returning roster and a good class with this regime.

It would be a nice change of pace.

I'm just saying that he should be scoring more considering the lack of help on this team. I wish he'd drive more for one.

It sure would and I think it would settle a lot of questions for many of us.

I'm with ya Shada, and caught the sarcasm immediately. Someone else will be the flavor of the day whipping-boy, no doubt, since John didn't see much action.
