*****OFFICIAL Iowa at. Indiana Game Thread*****

josh was 0-4 tonight 0-3 from 3pt land. feel bad for the kid. all jokes aside, sounds like he actually does make a ton in pre-game warmups, just freezes up or something when it's game time.

It's almost become like a Rick Ankiel thing. I say that not negatively, but out of some sympathy at this point. It's freaky.
 
Not really talking about this game in particular just in general

We need to play smarter - we do a great job of playing hard

Just need to play smarter at some point

No doubt we need to play smarter with fewer unforced turnovers.......

There have been a few games we played very well, but not nearly enough, even though we were close to winning. We seemed to almost throw away a few games in the last minute or two......

Josh is somewhat of a mystery this season, more so than last season. He doesn't seem to get that many open shots and has difficulty creating his own shots. His value is passing, ball handling, and his D is getting much better. I have a feeling he is going to break out like Gatens did his senior year. Gatens had trouble Fran's first year because he was the main scoring threat and was covered constantly, sort of like they are doing to Josh. Gatens had trouble his Junior year shooting when temporarily open. When, in his senior year he would shoot when he received the ball automatically, he was a serious threat especially late in the season when he had that fabulous run. Maybe the best in Hawkeye History or close to it. I pray that Josh follows suit......

It is very frustrating because he is a good player who is struggling offensively. Eric May had the same difficulty last season. This year he is a game saver who is having a solid year, carrying the team at times.....

I do not get why other teams even bother guarding him, even when he is making 3s he only makes 1 out of 4.
