Like I said, I never heard it.
I was curious and looked it up. Woods had 564 career assists and 319 turnovers. For a ratio of 1.7. Not elite but not bad.

It's because Iowa does it the right way!

Even another year of Clemmens would be a huge upgrade and maybe enough to squeak them into the dance. I'd have called MG an average B10 pg, when I mock him I only mock him because this thread said he was a wash with Monte.
Iowa's bench:
22% from the field
50% from the line
5-8 AtB ratio
11 fouls (that extrapolates to 41 fouls per game)
Nice!
I agree our guys will have their hands full. Young and Holden might both foul out with around 20-25 min combined minutes if Cook plays like he did last night.
With that said, I think our backcourt will create as many mismatches with Iowa's as Seton Hall did last night, so we should still get the W.
We will probably play small ball a lot, but Cook will give us trouble.
iowa played a lot better than I thought they would. cook might be the first player as good as fran says he his.
i'd imagine whoever's guarded by Jok will take the ball to the basket. clearly monte and burton should be able to get to the rim. but our D isn't much better than iowa's right now.
i could see us doubling down in the post and leaving ellingson and bohannon open and those kids will light it up because its against us.
i could also see naz go 2-15 from 3. hope he's hot!

Im not convinced we've been trying too hard either.
Actually according to advanced statistics our defense has been light years better than Iowa so far
Last year Naz didn't play well but he was clearly injured. The two previous years he was a combined 8-14 (57%) from 3 point range. I believe he'll be fine. Also, if his shooting hasn't come around by then, this type of rivalry game is exactly the kind of thing that should get him fired up.
It's always so interesting to me how our fans react to Iowa basketball.
It's clear that we have been the far better program since mad Fran stepped out on the court. They have improved but they have not been as consistently good as Iowa state. Mad Fran has beat Iowa state once. Mad Fran has had one NCAA finish better than us.
But yet every year, our own fans freak the hell out. Iowa is great defensively!! Cook is amazing! Bohanon is basically as good as monte was his freshman year (which is false).
Iowa lost to an ok team at home last night. Not a killer loss, but it's still a loss.
Mount St Mary's guards and pg were much much quicker than anything Iowa has..not saying better but harder to keep in front of u..We held MSM to less than WV did..
Defensively we are far better than last couple years..albeit vs poor comp..
I don't imagine seeing anything more unbelievable than uthoff throwing up 30 footers at will this year..
Like Iowa..this Isu team is still figuring itself out
65 missed shots in the game, too. Even Marty McFly Bohannnon had three rebounds in 19 minutes off the bench, and he was benched for a lot of the second half for being mostly terrible at basketball.
No, it's not. Monte didn't light it up in his first game against real competition, but he definitely held his own. A major difference of course being that his first big game came against a 7th ranked Michigan, which was full of NBA talent. Bohannon on the other hand just got his **** tossed by some garbage Seton Hall outfit.
Your desire to be seen as 'the voice of reason' is a little ridiculous. Tone the hyperbole down and you might sneak by with it.
