I thought he deserves a thread. Loved everything about his effort tonight. Just wish his coach could have found a few more minutes of rest for him.
 
Eh, wtf.

Is this third grade 2016 where participation trophies are awarded for hardest non athlete?

1. Every throw in to the post was immediately thrown out by Woody (no attempt to score).

2. The next time I see his no-blocking-out-***-standing-around-with-T-rex-short-arms trying to catch a rebound while some 6' 3" dude is jumping over him for an O bound im going to lose my mind.

3. He can score non contested layups, 72% of the time.

4. Literally should look into bull fighting. Nickname should be ole. The Indiana game some backup dude made him his wife. Same this game, no help backside, goes too high in the zone, Wiscy had like 10 uncontested dunks. He got driven on countless times. Has no help D to give. Literally is a cancer offensively.

If you like wacky inflatable gangly non athletic centers who grab rebounds at their chest and flail elbows and constantly provide turnovers...hes your man.

I like some of the aggressiveness, but ffs, lets have an actual college center for a top 10 team. My god, evidently 3 people above have zero clue about actual basketball.

I love hustle, and I thought he did that VERY VERY well. He dove, he fought, he tried....sorry, still not a good center. This isnt YMCA ball for hustlers.

Sweet 12th post. Your awesome. And apparently really knowledgeable about basketball.
 
Woody looked like Frazier at the end of the game.....you know like when Muhammad Ali pummeled him in their first fight and Frazier won the decison. Hell of an effort, but the guy looked like he was going to drop dead. Worried about the conditioning level of this team right now among other things.
 
I didn't say he didn't try. I even posted that I thought he tried VERY VERY hard. My point is you can try all you want and give it all you want, but in the end you can still suck at center for a top 10 team.

If you can't see that, watch other teams play.
 
Oh, and how many times have you bitched at O Rebounds during a game? Or wonder why every team in college basketball throws a quick oop at their center and Iowa never does it? Or why Wisky had 7 dunks to our 0? Come on. I'm an Iowa homer when watching games, but realize until Woody is an O threat, we aren't going anywhere. They literally do not guard him and double Uthoff/Jok with hedges on EVERY possession, then lazily drop back to Woody.

But that isn't what this thread is about. It about giving props to a Hawkeye that gave everything he had. It's about giving love to a player for what he IS, not what he's not.

Stay on topic.

Woody got a ton of rebounds but he is offensively challenged. I dont blame our defensive effort just on him,
 
Our D was fine, not ******** about the D, not ******** about the effort, even mentioned during the game that I thought Fran had kicked their *** about effort. I thought they were the more aggressive team going after balls and second effort stuff.

I appreciate the effort.

I'm just tired of "great job giving yer all" even though we didn't win. You really think Kentucky has "great try" threads? It's just a defeatist attitude I think...either we want to be great or we just try to be great. My teens was the mid 80's...I know Iowa can be a great place for BB and FB, tired of the "we get 2 stars and try" montage.

Last beer for me, it's just my opinion and feel like this year we could really go places in BB and FB, not settle.

You think "effort" is a given? LOL, just look at our Clown friends and their C, it isn't a given that a player will give any effort at all. Even when "effort" is given, you know how freaking hard it is to pull down 18 rebounds in a game? Those are Dennis freaking Rodman type numbers, and that is playing at an Elite level on the boards.

It is like this boards basketball knowledge reverts to ISU fan level when we lose. Lots of blame to go around in the loss, but saying Woody didn't play a great game is some serious Clown level BB knowledge (IE no BB knowledge at all).
