Re: Gatens is 38 points away from the 1,000 point club
I love how some of you schmucks on this board and others love to make disparaging remarks about Matt Gatens. I don't remember Gatens ever stating that he was going to come to Iowa and be the next big star. He is just a kid that grew up the son of a former Iowa player whose heart bleeds black and gold and committed to attending Iowa and doing everything in his power to make them a better basketball team. He works hard, keeps his mouth shut and is arguably our best and most consistent player. He has the misfortune of attending Iowa during the worst period of it's long history and will most likely leave here without ever tasting NCAA tournament success. And for his efforts, he is subjected to the heckling of internet clowns who most likely have never played a single meaningful basketball game in their lives.
