Florida looks horrid. Some of that is Iowa's D - but, oof, FT shooting and missed open looks have stymied them.

Ben will build alot like TJ. He will find guys that buy in to his system.
I not sure he'll ever bring in the same kind of talent TJ does in terms of hs rankings. He'll bring in a lot of 100-250 players and turn them into the kind of guys youd expect top 100 guys to turn into. I think he's a guy that will be pretty successful with transfers too. He's the total package in terms of team building, x and o's, knowing how to relate to guys Until they start winning against us here and there I'll have a hard time not pulling for him in a personal level at least.
 
Playing Iowa is like playing a team that runs the wishbone.

You don't see that style at all and it is a challenge to play against it

I saw a bit of their game recently.

They're like Baylor over a decade ago that played a super slow pace, just Iowa has more movement.

They lull teams to sleep and then cut or something at weird times.

I want to try to like McCollum because apparently Williams likes him but from what I’ve seen I can’t stand him. I think he’s a total douche.

Bucky fans said he's a total lunatic on the sideline and should have gotten T'd up.
 
Yes. I just feel they have the length. They have done basically nothing but win since January. They play like a final four team. IMHO.
Are you watching this game? It may look like good D, but both teams suck shooting. 31% for StJohns. Just hit some lucky 3’s.
