Actually, I think this will be a game that Percy plays in. First Iowa's very tall, but not super athletic (despite what they try to tell you). Percy will need to play against them, because we will need his big body in this one.
ISU 17th in AP poll.

Why would you still think this when he couldn't see the floor against BYU despite foul trouble, Mika playing well, and Percy having the experience advantage over Edozie?
Iowa is either going to have to play small or zone against us to match up. Woodbury/Olaseni aren't guys that are going to guard Niang on the perimeter.
Because as tall as they were, they were also more athletic. BYU has shotblockers amongst their bigs, and Percy is not going to get up enough to not get killed there.
woody can't jump, and olesani needed to improve his positioning defense, and footwork a great deal. They are guys that Percy can take advantage of, if he has not completely lost his confidence at this point.
He may not play, but this is a game that I could see him getting 5-7 minutes per half to help matchup down low.
It was page 9 on my browser. I should say post #126 then.
BTW is there ever going to be a time that you don't feel obligated to stalk me?
It would be nice if we could have a season-long poll watch thread without this garbage, but even if someone started it, it would get overrun by this crap the minute someone made an Iowa-related observation.
Well, Stoogy, it is like this. In state white guys apparently have a higher ceiling than other state guys. When you are national runner ups, you have the confidence to put out a better product the next year.oliceman::elvis:
I see the jimlad, but even so... I'm a little offended every time I see the comments about white guys on the team. It always seems to be associated negatively as if a team with white guys is a team full of ****** players.
Fred isn't interesting in matching up with them. He is interested in making them match up with his best players. Did you see the game at Phog Allen last year? History suggests that Fred will go away from playing his best players only as need (foul trouble, injury, needing a breather) requires.
