Thoughts on Iowa's win over Hampton

[FCAS]

Gabe Olaseni: Tonight reminded me a lot of last year; Woodbury was not on his game and Olaseni was. He scored 12 points in 21 minutes while recording 4 blocks, all of those coming in the first half. He also had 7 boards.

Also 6-6 from the line, and looked very good doing it. Compare that to his freshman season. A great example of how almost anyone can become good from the line if they work at it hard enough.

I agree that only time will tell how it all turns out. Sapp does seem to get revved up in a positive way in the big games. Last year against Michigan State I don't think he did that great though. I think Iowa has some clutch players this year, and it would be nice if Sapp was another one. Gesell did have more assists in the first game without playing nearly as many minutes.

VS Hampton and now NDSU, Clemmons is making me a believer. I think we'll need him to continue his resurgence to have a chance vs Texas. JO is providing some good spot-up shooting but Jok is still going through some growing pains. Good to see Gesell starting to get on track.
