Geo has always been clutch end of game.His step back threes are epic.Situations change as do times.Jacob has made big shots and made the right decisions,He was great today.Down one, my call is to give the ball to Jacob & left him drive and dish, draw the foul or hit a shot.Geo is not 100% and Jacob has been stellar and clutch.Next time in this situation give Jacob the rock.
Jacob Crunch Time Last Shot

On the possession before Geo crushed his guy off the dribble and made a layup. This time Iowa sold out with help.
Geo has earned the right to take that. He’s one of, if not the most clutch players in college. Just happened to be on the wrong side of a no call
Geo doesn’t have the same speed as Young to get up the court for a reasonable shot. Particularly coming off ankle injury. No problem with young getting last shot here.
Felt this way last year at PSU when JY was eating all 2H and our endgame set ended up with a Yeboah 3 (I think we were only down 1). But I have no issue with Geo getting the ball in crunch time. He makes good decisions and has done this over and over. He won't make them all, though, and that was today
No one says Geo doesn't take the shot.The way Jacob is playing it might have been best for him to facilitate it.Possibly get the ball to geo in open space,or draw a foul or dish to others.As goes Jacob,so goes the team at this juncture.He is our heart and soul for now.
If you are allowed to foul the shooter at will without getting a whistle, no one will ever be able to hit a game winner no matter who attempts the shot.
When JY gets a full head of steam it’s 80% chance he’s going to the basket, and a lot of the time it’s out of control. I want the ball in Geo’s hands there
