MSU-Iowa

[Degaz-RU]

Iowa surged ahead late in the first half, now up 36-28 at the under 4:00 timeout.

Every year, people underestimate Iowa and say they’ll be down, and every year just about everyone on the floor can score.

I continue to be amazed at the way Fran is able to recruit 3-star and low 4-star guys that can all put the ball in the hoop. I hate them and am green with envy.

Would not be surprised if they win the next few games and sneak into the ncaa’s

Iowa up 45-33 at the half.

Damn, I was counting on MSU winning this and pushing Iowa further down the pecking order.

I fvcking hate Iowa.

When Iowa gets going, it's almost impossible to slow the Hawkeyes down.

 

[Degaz-RU]

And they did this with Owen Freeman on the bench for most of the first half with foul trouble.

Freeman is going to be very good.
Fran’s a good coach.

 

[Rutgers25]

I feel like if Fran got his hands on Gavin he would turn him into a player. He knows offense, no doubt about that

Gavin gains 10/15 pounds of muscle will be fine.
Steve Hefele took time, Matt Madlinger took time, Chris Remley took time, Ed Zucker took time, Kevin K, Sean Axani etc.

Give him time

Next year will be break out.

goofy comparisons. Bunch of white kids not nearly as highly ranked and never massive game changers. Great RU white kids. No doubt loved them all. John Battle or Damon Santiago better (hopeful) comparisons of guys that blossomed. Eric Clark too

Remley is a very good comparison imo stars notwithstanding

Goofy comparison? Really? Wasn’t every one of players mentioned a shooting forward? Axani was highly recruited between Clemson and RU? Remley was drafted by Celtics?

Gavin a tall kid with a good shot that has to grow some muscle. All forwards. Good shooting eyes.

All much better comparisons than shooting guards like John Battle, Damon Santiago or even Robin James?

With all due respect to Kevin…. Shooting guards v forwards?

Remley prime example who developed into a fine player by senior year. One of my favorite RU memories is Remley raining threes from the corner against ND in the Meadowlands.

Rob Hodgson fair comparison?

Over 50% from the field his senior year. I’d take that. Lol.

Awful comparisons..lol

Axani may not have hit a 3 his entire RU career. Not highly ranked at all.

Going back to MSU v Iowa…

Judging from Creighton beating UConn rather handily today…

If Iowa could somehow how make the tourney, Freeman and Iowa outside shooting, one of handful of teams (Baylor) that could give UConn fits.

Can you be more wrong? Dog fight between RU and Clemson for Axani. Nice win by Bannon. He had a nice touch and far better comparison to Gavin than shooting guards like Battle and Santiago. Not sure where that came from?

 

[Scarlet Blind_rivals]

Maryland down 5, should have an and1 to bring it to within 2. A ref calls a bad offensive foul call.

Hate the Peacock thing. Like Willard stewing.

FWIW Brock Harding, a higher-rated recruit than Freeman who was expected to be a rotational piece for Iowa this season, has seen his minutes almost completely dry up.

Coaching matters but sometimes guys aren’t ready

Feisty Maryland makes it a game!
