You really think Franny will be there that long??? I mean, I hope so, but I wouldn't be surprised . . .
When Iowa plays on BTN, they go out of there way to not show Mad Fran or the thousands of empty seats inside Carver.
I expect Fran to have him screwed up by the end of this year. Starting to see signs already.
I rather have him stick his head up on a Hawkeye messageboard...
...I'll just take his word for it.
Can't really ignore it since it'll play a big factor in the outcome
They were discussing who might start in place of Weiskamp. Ross went straight to Lil Mac and said he was really what they were missing last year. Then CW said really enthusiastically something like YES I agree Lil mac should start he’s great.
They were missing another high school hero type that is generally ineffective except occasional no-look passes when no one's around?
I'll give him preemptive credit two days early as he'll probably have a huge night for Hok nation.
Even though Patrick is older than a lot of college freshman he's still an average player for IC West IIRC
Thoughts on the game from CyTwins (assuming Connor and Joe play):
Iowa guarding us:
I assume Iowa will have to zone us most of the game which is good and bad. The good is their zone is easy to exploit, the bad is it limits Prohm's abilities to put out mismatches and put them in uncomfortable situations. Teams are smart when Iowa goes man to man and try to put Garza in as many ball screens as possible. His lack of ability to hedge a ball screen is borderline mind boggling considering Fran puts him in that position and obviously Iowa's guards lack the lateral quickness to succeed in it as well. If Iowa were to play man to man that would mean Cook on Shayok or THT would which be very entertaining to watch.
Us guarding Iowa:
The book is out on how to guard Tyler Cook already. It appears Fran told him if he came back he would let him play like LeBron without the talent level to do it. Sag off him and don't foul and he won't hurt you. Garza and Jacobson could be a good matchup. Shayok or THT on Wieskamp should limit what he can do. Whoever is guarding Connor play help defense off him and let him shoot from deep all day long. Looking at stats your best play would put the ball in Bohannon's hands as much as possible. He is shooting 32% from the floor, 30% from 3 and barely has a positive A/TO ratio. That being said this is the game of the year for him so you can expect him to play out of his mind.
