He even got his first assist by kicking the ball to geo, dude must have played soccer in high school
Bullock!!
Should have reviewed that three I think was a swish but refs missed it. Was so perfect thru the net naked eye couldn't even see it.

Did we even see souf tonight?
I actually thought souf had been giving decent minutes lately, minus the fact that he is no threat to score which kills the O.
I believe he was in during the first half before Bullock first played. After that I don’t think he was on the floor the rest of the night.

It's a GREAT win...no need to take shots at any player on this team...Let's just Just enjoy the VICTORY.
Souf got beat twice by bohannan for threes in their 9-0 run in the first half ....enter bullock’s chance
I feel better with the ball in Matt Bullock’s (and Jake Dadika’s) hands then I do with some of the starters! Lol wont name names but I have no problem with these 2 getting their minutes!
Loved seeing Bullock in. Confident with ball in his hands. He’s rounder than guy should be if they’re practicing hard everyday, tho - it’s odd to see. Will say that he also looked slow to me laterally - not sure he’ll be effective against dribble-drive guards. But splitting hairs - I’ll call it now that he’s a better option than Souf.
Saying that one player is better than another is not "taking a shot"
I was not referring to your comment.
Pikiell is developing roles for guys...Bullock showed a nice mid range shot. Souf showed he is a good on the ball pressure guard against OSU. Jake showed something.
Pikiell played 12 guys tonight and when your bread and butter is defense that's important.

I believe I started the #FreeBullock campaign a week ago or so lol but I wasn't joking. I've seen the kid play many times in high school and although tonite was just a glimpse of what he can do, I think he really can play reserve minutes (10-15 min a night) on this team and contribute regularly. Kid is no slouch..been saying that for the longest. Hope he builds on this solid showing and becomes a factor going forward
Souf played 2 minutes, was immediately burned by Bohannon for 3, who then hit another one and we never saw him again I think and we may never will
2 thoughts
1. Bullock might take the minutes that Souf got
2. How is Pikiell having Souf guard Bohannon? If I am Pikiell and I am committed to getting Souf minutes I watch the other bench and enter Souf when the backup PG comes in for Iowa
I think we heard this same thing like 7 games ago when he sat the entire 2nd half against Hartford.......Relax, he may just be the best on the ball pressure guard on the team like he showed against OSU and a couple of games before. He''ll have a role. Bullock may be carving out a role as well.
c'mon that is an insult to baker and sanders.
I'd hope that Bullock gets the minutes. Not sure what went down with Bullock. Was he asked to play? Did Bullock tell Pikiell he is willing to play? I'd hope Pikiell finds minutes for Bullock provided he defends adequately. You cn tell Bullock was well coahed in HS defensively. He did an OK job in their today except one possession where he helped and left his man (or animal) for an open 3.

When was the last time Bullock was on the floor.? Fourteen months ago in mop up time vs a scrub team. Must have felt a lot of pressure. Thought he did very well.
I’ve been with you since the beginning.
He should be spelling Geo 4 minutes a half. He got his 8 minutes tonight.

Great to see Bullock in there for limited minutes. He looked confident, especially on offense - though wasn't always where he needed to be on defense (like on that one three by Baer).
Souf came in, and was immediately screened off on two consecutive plays to allow Bohannon threes. Next play Geo had him, and Bohannon drilled another. I don't think Souf fights over screens well - curious if it's due to his frame, if he has a harder time slipping between the player and pick. He dropped under the screen twice, and Bohannon made him pay for it. After that, he didn't come back in.

Bullock had a bucket AND an assist !

and
surprises the beejeebers out of EVERYONE!

No I had RU by 3 and predicted Bullock and Dadika would have an impact. Had my smartphone hacked earlier in the day.
This begs the question what has been the deal with Bullock. We had posters here repeating like it was gospel that Bullock couldn't pass the physical so he was not going to play. Now Williams is injured and he all of a sudden passes his physical.
Was Pike just trying to process him? Was he injured? Another reason?

Bullock looked decent yesterday. Better than expected but how the hell can he be so out of shape after being in a D1 program for one and a half years?
