You obviously don't know Davidson's history. I might agree with you if it were a different team and player, but it isn't a coincidence it is Wisconsin and Davidson that did it. They are dirty and have been for a long time.
Have you watched Jorbo or Connor play. They aren’t angels.

Meanwhile, at Twins' house...

Hopefully he isn’t waking his parents up.

He’s awkward. Like a really successful knuckleball pitcher. I’m didn’t say he couldn’t ball. Just that he gets hit a lot because his effort far exceeds his athleticism. JFC.
You said he flails and falls. That's not a skill like a knuckle ball pitcher.

Garza is so consistent. It has to be nice for a head coach to know you’re gonna get 20 and 10 out of your center every night out. Wieskamp has worked his way into becoming a clutch player. Frederick has an it factor about him.

Fran has been blasted on here for his recruiting and coaching, but he deserves kudos for this team. No need for sour grapes.

More Davison crap. Plus he is the king of flopping, heck he was half the reason they put the flop rule into college basketball.

Deception is a skill.
He's not deceiving anyone. He comes straight at you. He is as fundamentally sound as you can be for a big guy. He's limited athletically but he makes up for it with good foot work and his ability to step out and knock down shots. He does not flail.

Flopping is absolutely a skill. Takes IQ and timing. Some guys are good at it and some are poor. It’s part of doing everything you can to win, which is the point of playing.

LOL, flopping is as much of a skill as the Astros stealing signs was a "skill".

He's not talking about flopping. He said Garza flops and flails and he has success because he's awkward. He's actually very straight forward and coordinated.

I don’t understand why this is insulting. His game is off speed. He doesn’t go right at anyone. He manipulates the defender into moving out of his way or get them airborne and jumping into contact. He’s good at post fundamentals.

I don’t know man. I understand what you’re saying, but there are plenty of times where Garza goes right at guys. He’s so good because he knows how to mix it up and keep guys off-balance, but part of that is occasionally going right at guys. He doesn’t back down from anyone.

It’s like a defensive end in football. The same pass rush move over and over and over again isn’t gonna work. The great ones know how to keep a tackle uncertain.

When will Iowa bubble burst? If I’m Iowa fan I’m truly hoping my team runs into a 2-3 game drought..

Iowa won what 9 straight?

Every team....Every team hits a wall.

Iowa better hope it doesn’t hit in about 3 weeks..
