Dunking and free throws are worthless, or at least that's what CyFan told me to think! Don't you remember the terrible Aaron White?

Who said dunking was worthless? Burton has scored 12% of his points from the FT line, White last year scored 35% of his points from the FT line. White was over 35% his junior year

And what is bad about scoring from the FT line?
 
Re: Iowa MBB now a projected #1 seed

MY favorite thing about Aaron White, was this year when he tweeted during halftime of Iowa State vs Iowa how Iowa is killing and showing that Iowa State sucks. After the game he just tweets I'm sad.

Personally I respect someone who "earns" their points instead of getting bailed out like White did a lot by driving just trying to get a foul instead of making it. I guess it is a skill set to have the body control and acting abillities to get to the line that often but I don't respect it as much as I do someone who is scoring by making jumpers or finishing at the rim. What White did worked and I'm sure he's enjoying his career overseas

So what you're saying is if one team has a better record than another, every single player on that team is better than every single player on the team with the worse record. That's some solid analysis.

No not what I am saying at all. Stats are overrated though. Not everyone can put up 30 a game, but you can still contribute to your teams cause. I would say that if you took Uhl off Iowa it would have less of an impact on them then if you took burton off ISU.

There is more to a team then just stats. (See McKay)

Stats show Burton is better than Uhl

But Woody means a heck of a lot more to his team than McKay does to ISU.

Iowa lacking talent doesn't mean Woodbury is better than McKay. McKay is clearly the better player and am important piece for ISU if they want to be special

How in the world does Iowa lack talent. ISU beat them by a few points AT HOME. Iowa is first in the big ten (don't say they are down, Top 6 in the big 10 are just as good as top 6 in Big 12). That makes little to no sense. Give me Woody over McKay any day. Woody is in it for the right reasons, while Mckay seems to just be out there to show off and not to win at all times.

Iowa plays together as a team and plays in a weak conference. ISU obviously has more talent. I'm sure you're a big Cyclone fan though

Woody averages 7 minutes less a game, their stats are pretty even. Woody doesn't quit on his teammates, so I know which one I'd take.

If Woodbury was good he'd play more. He's an average big man after three years of being below average

I remember when you were predicting an NIT run this year. I think I was too. So Fran must be a pretty amazing coach to have a talentless team ranked so highly vs. a solid SOS.

He had them playing very well together. It was impressive not going to lie
