Yikes, you better save the basketball talk for the adults.

How can ISU have 5 of the top 8 players and be such a worse basketball team that might not finish above .500 while the other one is playing like a tournament team. Doesn’t make sense.

What’s so outrageous about this? He was just named one of the top 5 players. If the season ended right now he would probably be 1st team AA and Conference player of the year. If he keeps up his current pace, he will be in the discussion.

Come at me but Garza is a top five player in college basketball in half court offense.

If he could move a little better in transition and on defense NBA teams would be lining up to throw insane money at him. If his outside shot continues to improve it might not matter as much that he's a defensive matchup liability.

He was solid last year but I would not have predicted this jump in output. It's really shocking when you look at Fran's history of big guys not developing or him benching the best big guy for worse players.

It actually does. You guys have the record you do because of the 3 players I listed in the starting 5 from the Hawks. They’ve been outstanding and really lift you’re team. Also, we don’t have a coaching advantage over you guys.

Fair point, but at the same time Kriener and McCaffery have been good in their roles, not sure I can say the same about Nixon.
