I do however wish Jared Homan had some eligibility left just for tonight’s game.
Yes but no...
To explain, they won't be ranked by the end of the season. Come selection/seeding time this game can make a difference.
That is my point... For instance If it comes down to a choice between us and team X to be in Des Moines, this loss will not help.I don't believe that, especially with ISU still not at full roster, and not if ISU is good the rest of the way.
MAYBE a seed down but that means another bad loss on the way.

Of course this is assuming Iowa doesn't maintain its current ranking...
In Des Moines.Eh, just make the tournament.
Totally agree about the 3 point shooting. We have a small team, currently, that is not a good 3 point shooting team. Could've used that trying to come back instead of taking 25 seconds trying to find a shot.I think this team will be fine. I am not seeing a team that can seriously challenge for #2-3 in the B12, but we may look completely different in January when Wigginton and Solomon are back.
I'm still concerned about 3 point shooting with a "small ball" club, but Wigginton may change that, and we will probably improve our 2-bigs lineup over the month of December.
With all that said, I hope Prohm can take back control of this series going forward. I really hope he can land Foster, but I fear this season is exactly what Foster is waiting to see out of Iowa before committing to them.
Especially if Cook keeps blowing up.
In Des Moines.
This program needs to have higher expectations than to just make the tournament.
In REALITY, Iowa is a ranked team. That’s not a ******* bad loss.
However, we have only played 2 good teams and got killed by one of them.
Historically it doesn't.
And with this team it doesn't. Make the tourney most years, occasionally get a nice seed with a legit team.
I've said this from the beginning of the year, those two players might win us a lot of games, but they will lose us 4-5 because they have a tendency to play selfish.THT is a freshman making an abundance of freshman mistakes and shooting absolutely awful.
Shayok is forcing way too much and will be much better in a secondary roll to Wigs when he returns. To his defense, he's never been a go-to guy since probably high school so on the road for the first time will be a struggle
Can't wait for the return of our best shooter and scoring leader.

For a comparison I'd rather our program be more like Duke than Dayton.
Jesus. Just calm down.
Feel free to go back and watch the ball stick in their hands in the games. Don't get me wrong, I love their play making skills, but they aren't consistent enough to lead us night in and night out.Oh for goodness sake.
