Iowa's Cook out 3-4 weeks

[cycloneworld]

Didn't see this posted but Iowa's second leading scorer, Tyler Cook, is out 3-4 weeks with a broken finger. Second leading scorer at just under 13.7 ppg and 5.3 rpg.

They played better than I thought they would against Notre Dame. May have been a good physical match up (my guess) or a bit of circle the wagons going on there. Either way, tough to lose a player like that when you're already very young and not terribly talented.

Well they didn't even have to wait for the game to happen to find their excuse this year.

Looked like an "us against the world" situation with their decent fresh out and back where Fran and Chyna got their start.

I wouldn't get too confident, Fran has his guys play the clones tough (minus 2 years ago in Carver). Little brother circles this date as their super bowl.

Offensively, yes. Their defense is still atrocious. We should put up 100 on them.

This right here^^^^^. They do have shooters and hence will always have a shooters chance. However, the guys walk into the asylum like two years ago...all business, then no problem. They walk in all cocky....Iowa could pull the upset.

I knew Cook was good, I had no idea that Pemsl would look that good as a freshman. Fran got himself a couple of good PF's.

This is really going to hurt his one-and-done chances....

He looked good last night, good job on sealing his man off. I don't think Brey knew he was left handed though

His points so far are 10-18-2-1-1-6-18, but who knows, maybe with Cook being out, he'll get his shot and prove himself. Kind of up and down.

I hope he doesn't shine too bright. Will already be tough to lose two stars to the draft next year, unfathomable to lose 3.

Will be interesting to watch them against the Purple Hawks.

Geben for ND was an even bigger fouling machine than Holden, but Pemsl didn't do squat against him, was scoring against Bonzie, who is very undersized for a 4. Bonzie also got his fair share of points.

Pemsl looked really good. When he went out is when Notre Dame pulled ahead. Iowa should have kept feeding Pemsl constantly. Notre Dame could not stop him and he was getting them in foul trouble. Instead Jok especially and Bohannon decided to keep shooting. And Jok couldn't hit anything.

They sure could use a resurrected McCabe about now.

I hope Naz wants to just embarrass these clowns during his last game against them.

Just burn the whole MFer to the ground from three like he did last time in Carver-Hawkeye:

No, it really wont be interesting...

The only thing I showed confidence about is that when they lose a game to us they make excuses.

Agreed, way too many unsucked fat ones out there

Pemsl is solid on offense but he got eaten alive on the boards and was a no show on defense. Not unlike the last 5 or 6 "good" players Fran has had, he's a one trick pony. His emergence (nor Cooks's absence)doesn't change the game plan,just attack the rim all night. they don't have even one average on ball defender.
