The Fran fade

If Bolton could have played an average game last night, Clones would have pulled the upset last night I feel. But instead he had 5 of the 8 TOS and didn’t shoot well.
Oh? I didn't catch the game on TV, no Longhorn for me. How was his defense?
 
This is where I'm at. I just don't see Garza as anything other than a guy who might hang around the NBA. He can't defend a ball screen for his life and NBA players will absolutely abuse his lack of foot speed. The NBA as you said is just so different now than it was 20 years ago. There just aren't many spots for a player like Garza any longer.

I would say though, I don't know if there is a player that has worked harder on and off the court to get better. I mean the guy absolutely morphed in one year physically and offensively. I wouldn't mind seeing him be successful in NBA. Don't know him at all but does not seem arrogant/entitled.

Bolton wouldn't start at Iowa, they are a top 10 team. I do think he would take JoeT minutes though.
Iowa values offensive possessions. They aren't starting a guy that turns it over 3.3 times a game and is a chucker. Bohannon and McCaffrey combined turn it over 2.6 times per game.

If Iowa values offensive possessions, those two are shooting .378 and .345 this year, which aren't that far from their career averages.

Tell me more about Steve Prohms great defenses these last 4 years. Oh yeah his defense sucks as bad as Iowa, but without having great offenses.
Iowa State fans is there really any strength you see from Prohm aside from getting talent? He's very good recruiter as he's gotten some big time guys that Fran doesn't seem to get often and also find some good under valued prospects. After that imo it feels he's not helping the team reach its ceiling most years.

Trying to find the show “Moonshiners” and came across some game where some guy lost the ball and somehow fell down. Purdue got the ball and scored. Upon further replay it turned out it was Patty McCaffy. Dude trip over his own feet! I about died laughing. Well worth the watch to see that. Then found “Moonshiners”. Way better program. Saw on ESPN where Garza had a tampon in his nose. Someone punch him in the suckhole?? They didn’t show what happened.
I'll admit to doing that once. I got a knee squarely to the nose playing rugby and he wasn't going to let me continue unless I stopped the gush of blood. We had no subs and no med kit so I asked a girl on the sidelines (girlfriend of a teammate) if there was a tampon in her bag. I got back on the pitch in under a minute and we promptly scored.

Even unused, fresh out of the package those things stink. Would not recommend...
 

I'll never forget the 2004-05 team scoring 24 in OT after only scoring 68 in regulation to beat #10 Texas in Austin. Tasheed Carr scored 13 in OT including two threes and a conventional 3 point play. ISU ended up beating the Horns by 12.

My buddies and I listened to that game on the radio standing around a buddy's car drinking beer in Rippey, Iowa. No danger of your beer getting warm that day.
