Right, if Wiggy or D Jax did nothing but run back & forth trying to lose a defender at the 3 point line I bet they could pour a few more in, too. Ours actually play some D, though.

Solomon turned Cook into a passer, it's the least aggressive I've seen him, he still had a nice game all around but he was a different player tonight than usual.
also someone needs to make a gif of Wiggington laughing while he's messing with Pemsl on that jump ball they had.
Grudgingly, I have to admit, iowa has some talent, but they are effectively neutered by not having a point guard. Similar to ISU the year Sullivan had to run the point. It messes everything else up.
By 2 tournament teams you mean one NCAA and one CIT? Cause I either see Fran coaching there next year and he'll keep them out of the NCAA or Fran is gone along with Conner and Iowa's looking for a PG again next year.
I haven't watched Iowa a ton - but I did catch bits and pieces (& a little more) leading up to this game - just so I'd have an idea of how they were playing. I can say, from what I had seen from the Hoks, that Pemsl played his best game - couldn't even tell it was the same person on the floor. My guess is that if he had not grown up in this state, his effort tonight would have been fairly pedestrian. I've never, ever seen him that determined and excited in a ball game. No wonder he had an exceptional game tonight.
Yeah, I thought he was a useful player. If you're going to stock up on forwards, someone gets squeezed out. Maybe he's thinking he should've transferred.
I really liked that Nick talked to him a bit about that after the play though. Nick was the definition of a leader in this game.
Iowa's offense really struggles without a good point guard. There were a couple times when their bigs got the ball 14 feet from the basket and couldn't find anyone to throw it to for 6-7 seconds. Point guard needs to get open and get the ball out of their hands.
They could be a lot better next year with the addition of a good point guard and a couple off guards. Certainly do not need any more role playing forwards.

10. ISU didn't play a close to their best game, yet found a way to take Iowa's best shot and win the game.
Don't worry Fran Jr will solve that problem, this year. Because a Freshman PG coming off mono is always the missing link.
I wonder how much better Iowa would be with NWB at PG? I'm sure glad we have him!
Guessing Iowa 'should' be one(no seniors) ...surely will add a point guard .....or Fran should be on the hot seat.
As long as Fran is still their coach not much. He would only get 20 mins a game with Frans player rotations.
Did we sign a contract to play Kansas in Carver next year that I don't know about?
Iowa could have been called for about a dozen moving screens.
Fran would convert him into forward.
Despite a lot of Beverly bashing here over the last week (or at least lack of support), I thought he was useful tonight.
