How concerned should we be?

Concerned about what? Concerned about beating Iowa the next few years? yeah I guess you could be a little concerned but Hilton isn't an easy place to win as a visitor.

Other than that though, there isn't anything to be concerned about. This isn't football, both schools can be good at the same time and one loss isn't going to make or break the season for either school.

he's barely a 3 probably a 2, he may be playing well in his 3 games this year but the bball talent in iowa is so poor it can make those guys look like 4 or 5, fact of the matter is he averaged 10 ppg last season which i could probably do in the ciml, for reference I'm 6'2" and played the 4 I would probably the 2nd or 3rd tallest player on the court in most ciml games

Another poster who has no clue what he/she talking about. Read the rest of the thread, pal.
 
Tough loss, this team has a lot to learn. I still like our "resume" over Iowa's-- two losses to top 25 teams and a loss in our first road game. This team still has NCAA potential.

It was not just the knee injury. He never improved his game. He was a guy that won with raw athleticism. He lost that. He can shoot, and Iowa needs shooters. But he will have trouble defending any position on the court.

Recruiting services make a living doing what they do. Jok appears to have chronic knee problems. Could he make a full recovery? Sure, but he is no AP. It took him two years to get back to any level of play. HE has a ways to go before he looks like the 5 star everyone here is mistaking him for.

Is this real life? Two different injuries....do some research.

There are good young players in the ISU program and more on the way. The non Srs+Mcgee did all the work tonight.

Yeah. APs was much more horrific, and he is back to the top of a pro league in under a year. Jok is not back to full form after two. So he is no AP, like I said.

Don't respond back, idiots **** me off, and you are king of the heap tonight.

First off, you don't like yourself very much if that's the case.

And...LOL he tore his patella tendon. It was a nasty injury and he came back too quickly--but his surgery was a year and a half ago. Adrian Peterson has nothing to do with this. Total red herring.

It's December 7th. So, no.
If this team looks like they did tonight around mid-January, then probably, because those games matter.

If this team turns out to be good, this game won't matter. If this team ends up not being good, this game won't matter.

Right. So if this team turns out to be good, with a horrible non-conference resume, we will again be a 9 seed, and go out early. These games are huge at the end of the season.

Throwing Fred Hoiberg around in his 3rd year of coaching, ever, doesn't help things.

It looked encouraging for Iowa fans to feel like they know what a sort-of loud arena sounds like.

I've watched Jok this season. Good shooter, not great on D. Huge ball-hog. Shoots most every time down the court for Valley.

LOL no...just no. This is beyond silly.

Sure, he shoots a lot. He's far and away the best player on the team and the best player in the state. He SHOULD shoot a lot--he makes a lot.
 
I'm concerned about turning the ball over. That's it. We turned the ball over some ridiculous number of times and still only lost by 9. Fix the turnover problem and this team can be solid. Unfortunately, this is not a new problem and it's not showing signs of improvement.
 
Just watched the first 30 minutes of the game. Stopped and deleted the last 10 minutes. What a sad, sad excuse for a game that was. Completly dominated by a less talented and much younger team. Pathetic.

That looked like a McDoormat effort.
 
My biggest concern is that we have some major defensive problems. We give up way too many easy baskets and the help defense is poor. Tonight isn't the only game that has showed us that. We will wait and see how that improves.
 
Not really concerned at all. Iowa owed us one, they played there best game and we played poorly. This game means absolutley nothing other than it being a rivalry game. Its time to focus on playing in confrence which looks to be very down this year.

It reminded me of a Morgan game. Fall behind by 10, storm back to take the lead, "we're about to roll now!" Fall behind again, rally, followed by empty possessions ... Rince and repeat.

The dry spell to start to the second half after a strong finish to the first half — That part felt like McD.
 
Lol @ being concerned. Im just glad this rivalry is back. Isu has loads of talent, but iowa is picking up too. Just because you have to wear sunglasses to watch them doesnt mean they suck. This state is capable of having two good teams. Thank god the uni drake catdog reign is over.
