I didn't think Jok was ready to play but he was money from the free throw line.

Nice win. Nebraska playing very short handed.
Way too many minutes for Jok IMO. He's taking minutes from Moss/Baer/Ellingson.

I know, it's crazy. Fran rides him and he's a senior hoping for 1st team All B1G, so I can't totally blame him. Right now I just don't think he's that effective of a player, and certainly not for those kind of minutes. Anybody know where to find +/- stats?

The attention he draws just being on the floor is effective enough.

I disagree. I'm not saying he was flat out awful, but right now the cons outweigh the pros IMO. I think he will be much more effective playing around 20 minutes.
The proof is in the pudding. Yes we won today but we didn't not play anwhere near how we did the previous two games.
If he would have made a couple of his 3s he would have had a pretty good game. Hopefully it's all downhill from here for him.

Yes. Hopefully his health continues to improve. From what I saw today, he's going to cost us more games than he is going to win us because of his defense.
I agree that he wasn't a plus player today. I don't think it was his back tho. He made some moves that made me think he might aggrivate it and he seemed fine. Nothing wrong with being rusty your first game back. Especially if you win.

Wasn't worried for a second. No way freaking Nebraska was shooting 58% for the game......they ended up shooting 42%, so I'd say I was spot on.
......Iowa stayed right at 47%NikeHawk21

Per TOS:
Without Jok: Iowa +9
With Jok: Iowa +2. Was roughly (-5 to -8) until FTs skewed the number at the end.

Backup PG! I've been saying that for weeks. Great way to get him more minutes.
Agreed here. Jok wasn't his normal self. Like some, I was worried if him being back was going to take away from the team did the last couple of games, particularly on the defensive end. Jok appeared to struggle defensively when he wasn't doing well on offense. He did better today and helped the team with defense, rebounds, and assists. I was glad to see he didn't press much and helped other ways. One of his better games this year IMHO given his shooting.
