Graham Couch: Iowa Basketball is a mid-major roster

Jacobson was not terrible at Nebraska. He may not have been flashy, but there's nothing wrong with going 6/6, while making the effort plays too.

He shot less than 40% from the field (as a post player I’m not sure how that is even possible) and had a very high turnover rate for a player who rarely shot the basketball. His only use was as a rebounder. He was pretty terrible.
 
8 threes a game...that’s pretty high volume. Also never said Iowa is a “great” three point shooting team.
I don’t care if Bohannan is shooting 10% from 3 pt this year. He is a great shooter. He doesn’t do other things well but he can shoot the ball. He is a pure shooter. If he gets hot or we forget to cover him, it will be a long night for us.

Well that was Nebraska and now he’s at ISU and he doesn’t suck so not sure what point you are trying to make.

Jacobson's Turnover was 11.7% which is lower than everyone on Iowa's roster besides Garza. Lol!

That's B1G basketball, snort.
 
Oh boy, that couldn't be more wrong. Niang has played in 18 of the 24 games this year and Burton and Nader have gotten rotational minutes too

Niang is currently in the G League, Burton has only gotten “rotational minutes” when all of OKC’s other wings have been injured/sick, and Nader has played in a non-blowout situation once all year.

That's actually surprising....from what I saw last night Garza didn't like it when Michigan State didn't let him shoot wide-open 3s and get put backs for layups.

Garza has 10 turnovers this year but with his usage that's not bad at all actually. Moss, Cook, Bohannon and Wieskamp are crazy high with turnovers based off their usage

How’s Aaron White doing this year?
 
Please tell me what you take issue with in that post?

Jacobson was terrible at Nebraska: true

Jacobson’s shooting proficiency is unsustainable and will likely regress over the remainder of the season: true

You are such a small, angry little person, Mikey.

So far, Jacobson has been as consistently impressive as anyone on either team. It is not like he went off for 50 one game, and 6 the next. Not sure what the reason was he was marginal at Nebraska. I see no reason for him to regress as the season goes on. His total numbers may go down as the season goes on, but that will be because Lard and others become available to play more minutes.

Iowa turns the ball over a ton, so not sure what your point is. When yourturnover rate nears your usage rate (as Jacobson’s did at Nebraska), that’s not a good sign.

Your turnover percentage is based off your usage. Is this serious? His turnover percentage was third best on the team his sophomore year
 
Can all Hawkeye fans please come to reality and just accept the fact that ISU is a better basketball school. Hell at least we can argue about football, but that window is also closing.
 
That seemed odd to me that they went down. I wonder if the Stars have an injury or sickness thing going on.

Just wanted him and Allen to get some serious game action. Not that uncommon at all. I'm guessing he'll go back a few times for a game or two at a time this season unless there are some injuries for the Jazz
