My bad, that is his D rating in conference. You may want to check Jackson's though. Derp.

Better than Jackson's.
LOL at Garza being one of the worst 5 defensive players in the country or whatever that stupid stat was. Hes not even the worst defensive player in the state.
No i haven't that's why I'm asking. I just assume it's really bad. I know Jackson's conference one is bad
Highest PERs in the Big Ten...
I stand by what I said -- 25+ and you are talking about an all-conference team if you can maintain that efficiency over a decent volume or time.
Georges was in that range...
Wow, Garza has a PER almost 10 points higher than Niang did as a freshman and about 3 points higher than his best season.
Iowa is really bad at defense so no body is going to have a good defensive efficiency rating.
Looking at Garza's PER though, it is pretty impressive for a freshman big who is pretty slow. He is one of the best rebounders in the conference.

PER really likes rebounding, though, and particularly offensive rebounding for generating extra possessions. PER loves Lard for the same reason.
Niang was a role player on a NCAA tournament team as a freshman. And in Niangs "best season" he did that while playing more than 33 minutes a game.
Garza is playing well, but he's doing it on a bad team and for limited stretches of time. We'll see how he progresses.
Speaking of Lard... I would say he is having the best freshman season for a big at ISU since Marcus Fizer. You could make an argument for Brackins but I think Lard's numbers are better.
Tyler Cook: What kind of music do you usually have here?I think they are playing here soon:
Claire: Oh, we got both kinds. We got country *and* western.
Iowa shoots 48.0% from the field, good for 36th in the NCAA.
ISU checks in at 232nd with a FG% of 43.7%.

Fran: Oh, we got both kinds. We got inefficient *and* poor defense!
Side note: Fran is a perfect name for a crappy basketball coach and a waitress at Bobs Country Bunker
