He had nothing tonight and he came out out of locker room wearing some contraption on his knee has not had any of the quickness he had against Alabama he can’t get by anybody anymore
Dylan injured!!
- Thread starter richthedentist
- Start date
Who cares? He doesn't. Ace doesn't.
He landed awkwardly on that one play who knows how long term impactful that was
Wait , Aren’t you the guy that said Mag’s injury was not an ACL because you were a dentist and played pick up basketball ?
Maybe Harper has a loose filling ? Or flu of the knee, seems to be going around
I I feel like Dylan was responsible for the two worst possessions tonight. Chucked up two awful threes that changed the complexion of the game. One in the first which we recovered from , thanks to Acuff, and one in the second which sealed our fate
He also didn’t defend or rebound
For about three losses in a row, he's taken bad threes when we've gotten close.
Playing stupid basketball is what sealed our fate.
That and being a very small and weak team.
I asked the question weeks ago before the flu trip when he was out because he had hurt it the week before. Labeled a conspiracy guy.
Who knows. I don't. But there it is again. I'm a dope.
Dylan has impressed me from the jump with how hard he has played and the intensity he has showed this year. Tonight, the fact that he didn’t show up and played with no intensity is the most disappointing aspect of this loss. It’s ok to have a bad night, but it’s not ok to have a night where you don’t bring the proper energy or effort. Very disappointing effort by him tonight.
No question. Air came out of the game on those shots. That's the PG leader making really bad decisions.
Hero ball from a guy with one foot out the door. Tough for college basketball when some of these guys are only here because they have to be.
NBA needs to allow kids from hs to go straight to the league if they can.
Not the NBA’s fault …no one says you have to recruit these guys
It’s Bball IQ. These guys just don’t have it. The team captain Williams has the lowest.
The guy with the ball in his hands all game is the leader of the team.
Unfortunately Dylan isn't much of a leader. Maybe he will become one in the future but I wouldn't count on it. He's soft. Talented, but soft.

I don’t know, and as much as I hate saying it, but it really seems like Harper has been riding that loss against Alabama all season long. Lot of his stats are kind of average for a lot of games. Yes, injuries and illness has taken a toll on him but fact is he’s had almost no impact on conference play outside of two or three games.
Teams have figured him out. His handle isn’t that good and as long as he doesn’t get downhill he is just an avg shooter
Soft as tissue paper. A kid that age shouldn't be getting hurt so much.
Nope… Dylan didn’t take control or call for it and DRIVE it. When he did, he scored. Easily. It was JWILL hogging it, and missing.

I agree with you, I happened to stumble on his highlights from the Vegas tourney on YouTube today. I forgot how explosive he was that week, driving to the hole and dunking on guys, SEC players no less. Now, we’re begging for him to drive to the hole or get into the paint. He is not the same player, not making excuses as every team has dealt with sickness and injuries, but the reality is that he is not the same player right now that he was during the Vegas tourney.
Someone needs to check on JWill.
He might still be spinning in circles looking for an Iowa player after that dagger 3.
He may be have more talent, but he doesn't have 1/2 the heart of his brother
His brother had something to play for…nba aspirations. Same with McConnell. Dylan has it made.
Dylan got entirely outplayed tonight in an absolute must win game by a 5'10 midget. Points, steals, rebounds, assists, minutes played, and turnovers. Little PG won every single stat.
Dylan is soft. He just is. Honestly, I can't even blame him. He's been a thing his entire life, is 18 and a multi millionaire and about to sign a deal making $10MM a year. Most people would be with all of that so early.
That 3 pt shot he took with Iowa up only 2 with like several minutes left. That reminded me of a F&#$ it shot, like he really didn't care and just wanted to get the game over with. I lift 6 days a week, and some days are better than others (work, life get in the way), and and those days when I'm not feeling it, I do a couple of sets, a few reps, and call it a night. This game by Harper reminded me of those days.
It’s mostly on Pike. Iowa had a game plan for him. It took us 35 min to figured out we should spaces the floor and let DH get downhill to the basket. I never understood why we run horns to crowd the space.
