I listened to the game on SiriusXM, no pay per view for me!
Got off to a rocky start but eventually the vets took over. Five guys finished in double figures, Freeman, Payton, Pryce, Dix and Thelwell, that was good.
What's up with Seydoux, he's not even showing in the box score?

Traore was injured and held out last night.
I was really impressed with Iowa last night. I realize the first half was close but a lot of these 1st few games might be close in the first half as roles are established for this team. I thought they were able to get defensive stops when they needed to. I mean, I don't think Fran is going to lean on Kingsbury in the first half of too many games this year...but went to him in game 1 if that makes sense. They need another big, somehow, someway. I think the thought was that was going to be Traore, I don't know his status.
Thelwell played really well, and he's going to push Brock. Pryce Sandfort is going to grow up right in front of this year as ya just feel like he's on the cusp of getting things figured out. I think Pryce and Cooper's development over the season is key for this team to get back to the NCAA but they look more than capable last night.
Saydore didn't play I guess he's hurt. I didn't watch but sounds like he was missed. Dembele doesn't bring much to the table. If he's not rebounding then I say take him out. He doesn't do much of anything at the offensive end anyway. See what Tadjo and Saydore can bring when he's back.

That pic is really timely! I ask for Seydoux's status and up comes a pic of pre-game with him sitting on the bench in a boot. Thx

I kind of asked that to myself, is Commerce like a business part of Dallas or Houston? So, what did I do? I google it!
Turns out Commerce is a town of 9000 in NE Texas.
Do they have a football team? Yes, they do, and it plays in FCS in the Southland conference. They are 1-8 and in next to last place. Next thing you know they'll be showing up in Kinnick............

It sounded like Thelwell played much better than Harding, in control vs out of control Harding even put up an air ball 3. The Hawks were really clicking on O when Thelwell was in there. He's earning his minutes.
Cooper Koch got good minutes and seemed to be doing good things in his overall game.
Pryce Sandfort played well. He clearly has the green light on 3s. He seems to have a good all around game.

With Traore being out, and Dembele having 2 early fouls, the first half was just kind of a clunky. Fran had to go to Brauns earlier than I would expect he wanted to, same with having to bring in Kingsbury, which I felt was more of a case of "We're short a guy, and this is our opener, so everyone is going to get to play". I wouldn't sail the ship on Dembele after 1 game, but Iowa is going to need someone to be a strong 4 next to Freeman.
I was pretty encouraged by what I saw last night.
