Iowa played mostly zone in the 1H.
Again, the reason people are frustrated with Cook is because he is supposed to be our best player and he had an extremely tough month of March. In 7 games, he averaged under double digits on 35.7% from the floor. That’s bad.
That doesn’t mean that other guys didn’t have bad moments or don’t have their own deficiencies. Also, I’m not the only person calling out Cook. You’re trying to turn this argument now into something it’s not. Cook had a bad stretch, but most people on here would prefer to have him back.
This argument somehow turned from Cook was a beast in the 2H comeback and the only guy to create for himself on this team to now something about other guys suck and nobody calls them on it. Cook gets held to a higher standard, but that’s what happens when you consider yourself the guy. It’s really not that hard to figure out.
So Cook going 0-5 and playing zone defense created a 10-15 pt deficit for Iowa, but Wieskamp going 0-4 and playing zone defense didn't?
At least you are admitting the only reason you are saying what you are saying is because of a double standard. If you listened to post game interviews Cook knows he isn't playing his best. Jordan started the season in a shooting slump, heck he only shot 38% this year which is way down for him. Garza hit a really tough stretch, Wieskamp has struggled some, and God knows Moss struggles. All I am saying is the vitriol is only for Cook for some reason (I'm not saying it is only you, it is all over). Others can give all the "reason's" they want for why, but the fact is the vitriol is only dished out for Cook, that is simply a fact.
