I guess Iowa's collapse will start in March this year...

I don't understand the Bohannon hate. Like I said before, the Twitter tough guy stuff is a little obnoxious, but it's hard to root against a kid that basically everyone thought would be completely overmatched in Big 10 basketball turn himself into a respectable Big 10 player of the course of the last 3 years. It may be time to get past the fact he was lightly recruited and realize that while he's not a guy who you can toss the ball to and say go get 20+ points, and realize he belongs on the floor in a Big 10 game.

I will leave CF forever if Iowa wins the next 5.

I don't hate Bohannon at all. I actually respect him more now than previous years because he admitted the ISU game is all that really matters to them

Are you including his defensive abilities in your opinion?
When discussing him as a player, its all about his outside shot and that's it.

Body wise he's close to what I remember Tyrus McGee. Now, compare the two. I'd take McGee.

You do realize that 168 wins would put him 2nd all-time at Iowa State as well. Try harder next time.

Well this is awkward, but it's fun to see this arrogance while completely missing the point. The point is the coach with the second most wins in school history has accomplished next to nothing. He has a couple Thanksgiving tourney trophies, and.........

Tyrus was a better player overall by far and a better shooter

He has really worked on his game since coming to Iowa. His handles are night and day difference right now. He would have really flourished on a team like ISU where he had point guards looking for him on the break. Instead he was forced to be the point guard when he should be a shooting guard.

Fran's awesome (till they lose the next one) then it's that damn buyout.

 

[dexterhawk]

He's certainly regressed some this year, that much you can't argue

Link?

Yep, regressed to 40% from 3 but it looks like he’s breaking out of his funk.

Thankfully he hasn’t experienced Wigginton level regression.

They didn't win the next 5.

1/9 @ NW WIN
1/12 vs OSU WIN
1/16 @ PSU WIN
1/20 vs ILL WIN
1/24 vs MSU LOSS

Sorry to disappoint you.

He's down 2 ppg and even bigger 2 assists per game plus his shooting numbers are way down

 

[Herkster]

Isn't your zone bad too?

Yes, our zone is bad, but it is better than our terrible man-to-man against guards that have a pulse.

Again, using only 1 stat. Good to know defense isn't required.

Doesn’t hold a candle to Wigginton’s “regression” and that can’t even be argued.

Just using your criteria and definition of “regression”

Wigginton is a horrible defender

Wigginton's advanced numbers are significantly up from last year and he didn't even get to play against the cupcake non con opponents. And that's coming off an injury and getting 9 less mpg. Derp

I thought you didn't watch much ISU basketball?

I don't know much about Lookingbill but is he all there mentally?

I will leave CF forever if Iowa wins the next 5.

Wigginton is a horrible defender

Wigginton's defensive rating is 6 points better than your best defensive guard (Wieskamp)

 

[IASTATE07]

Wigginton is a horrible defender

I wouldn't describe him as a horrible defender. I'd describe him as somebody that plays defense when he wants to.
