Re: Why does jon miller nix my thread that says Oglesby should play at Wartburg, but

I bet he does, though. JO will be fine, people need to relax and lay off him. I mean it isn't like he is averaging like 30 minutes a game and causing them to lose.

Good point, but look at the line...

13 min.
0-5 (0-3 3pt), 2 reb, 1 ast, 1 turn, 0 pts.

At least give those minutes to May or something.
Also, he passed up a couple wide open looks and also did a pump fake when he was open. If he's in there, he needs to shoot (even if he's missing) - because otherwise, right now, he doesn't help Iowa in many other areas. Hey, I'm not trying crush him, just stating the facts right now. Josh isn't making shots and when he has open shots he's not taking them because the confidence isn't there. If that's the issue, then he needs to play more and shoot more or sit for a little bit. Just my opinion on it.

Only if May is going to shoot the ball and stop pump faking it.

Fran continues to be baffled by this, repeating his refrain that Josh shoots it real well in practice.
Iowa and ISU had the same player who was reportedly great in practice. He was a non-entity when the lights came on other than one great moment.

Playing 15 min a game and going 0-5 is hurting the Team. Plain and Simple!

FG kickers make almost all of their kicks in practice and in pregame.
Those don't count when it counts.

I once watched Anthony Tucker hit 40+ threes once in warmups, then he went 2-7 in the game.

Woodbury hit about 20 or so 15 foot jumpers in a row before the Wisconsin game. I would settle for making 1 or 2 shots from 3 feet in a game.

You sure you don't mean you watched him down three+ 40's?

That is just a waste of 13 minutes, give it to someone who can give us better stats for those valuable 13 minutes.

This. If it ain't up it ain't in.

That's the only reason why he is playing, so he either needs to shoot everytime he has an open look or he shouldn't be on the floor.

Also Slump? He shot right around 30% from 3 last year and is shooting 27% from 3 this year it isn't like he went from hitting 40% to 30%.

JO shot 37.2% from 3 last year, that's a lot closer to 40% than it is "right around 30%"

He is trying to get out of a slump, he won't do that on the bench. Ok going 0-5 is hurting the team a little bit but trying to remove him completely from the game in the middle of a slump isn't going to help. Fran and others talk about how is hits shots in practice, he hit shots last year. Eventually they will fall.

He's 9/36 from three during the first 7 conf games.
A slump is a few games...

Shooting 25% from three just isn't getting it done.
He also had that 5-11 game at NW (which some thought could turn his game around). If you take that one game out, he's shooting 4/25 (16%).

It's hard to talk around hard to talk around here without offending someone or calling a player out. It seems like the whole team is in a shooting funk right now not just JO. The whole offense looked out of sync running what has become circle game. In my opinion Fran needs to find an answer other than to let them play out of it. This has not worked so well in the close games.

I bet JO beats everyone at horse, as long as it is just horse practice. In a real game of horse, Peter Pumper would win.

Olgelsby is NOT a gamer. Good thing our military has better snipers than him.

O-ferthrees lost his confidence because all of the threes he usually makes in practice are being swatted by Olesani. Those two in practice are like those old Jordan-Bird "Nothing but Net" commercials from the 90's.
