Yep, Andy Katz said after the game that Garza is firmly in the discussion for national player of the year.
Oh I know. I thought this was a 10 win team at the beginning of the year and was super down on Fran coaching and recruiting. Right now things like very good with a freshman 4* hurt and down 2 starters. It is crazy to me.
Best player in the state and its not even close.
The discussion should probably turn to who the second best player would be. Wieskamp, Green and Haliburton all deserve some consideration.
Wieskamp has really elevated his game since conference play started. He is currently averaging 18.6 PPG and 6.8 RPG per game in league play and his shooting percentages are up across the board in conference games.
Haliburton's numbers have went down across the board during league play.
He had 8 rebounds the first 10 min of the second half before he disappears. That would be 32 a game which would lead the country
Did someone say Garza wasn't having a good year? That would be incredibly stupid
I wouldn't say it's not close. If we had shooters, Haliburton would get somewhere around 9 assists a game.
Which he should be. There's no reason why right now he wouldn't be considered.
I do think Markus Howard from Marquette would win it if the voting was today.
28.4 ppg at a 42% clip. He's also shooting 42% from the 3. He's had nine 30 point games this year, as well as a 40 point game, a 42 point game, and a 51 point game.
If those type of numbers keep happening, it won't be even close. His high scoring games haven't been against terrible opponents either.
So go ahead then---where are the Wieskamp transferring rumors coming from? Because you appear to be the only one who has heard them.
A 10 win team? That's happened at Iowa once in the last 45 years and you thought it was going to be that bad?
I get not expecting much but that's a significant drop from winning 23 last year.
Yes. He said at the beginning of the year so I figured that meant before the season.
Weird losses happen. Hell, I told you I was unaware of the coach at Evansville is a POS but I knew they beat Kentucky.
Hawk fans didn't make it up. If you have an issue with it, talk to Randy Peterson.
Well first off I never heard Randy say it. I'm not sure why an Iowa fan would listen to him.
Secondly Randy is a moron so not sure why anyone would believe it if he did say it
