Loved it. Stepped right in and didn't back down. Left a few points out there, but that killer poke away at the end was great way to finish!

I might buy one of his shirts and just give it to some kid. I don't really need one for myself but it would show him some support.

I love the nickname. Normally I hate forced nicknames. However, everyone was laughing at the bar and really rolling with the big energy and with his look physically, it just works and now he is one of my favorite players

Liked how Bacot was jawing RJ in the first half after blocking his shot. Like you about to find out who Robert Jones is dude, lol.
The announcers were mouthing off about rjs efficiency with only making 30% of his shots. He was just figuring out how to beat Baycot. Just kept getting better and better

Saw this at Spencer’s at the mall today and immediately thought of Rob. Then, because I am old man, I looked it up on Urban Dictionary to try to understand the joke. Then I laughed again.

I think we’re really feeling the coaching impact of Green. How many small town Iowa guys like Eglseder did UNI develop over the years? Another positive, albeit unforeseen positive from that hire.

Really Rob showed pretty good footwork last year, he just had no touch. With even a little bit of offensive production and some mediocre FT shooting he’s going to get a ton of mins. Since Rob is my kids’ favorite player they were going nuts today.

Big Rob is so much physically stronger than last season. He will take on a Bacot knowing he is mentally tougher.

Today, Bacot was just another player. But he looked real pretty.
