Stat sheet stuffer.



Cool, but again, what happens if someone plays defense on him?

It's really not a knock on him...looks like a nice young man who says 'Golly gee' after every bucket.

College teams really don't play very good defense in general, and I'd like to see what happens when someone plays defense on him.

Saw on FB that Hawkeye heaven posted that UNO made it to their conference tourney championship (only saw it cause a friend 'liked' it).

As if that makes that loss any less terrible :rolleyes:

....that's cool, but Wisconsin really doesn't play very good defense (or offense), and didn't play any except for the 2nd half last week.


I’ll just assume that you don’t watch much basketball outside of Iowa St. Here are the defenses that Iowa played that are top 50 AdjD. There could be more as I didn’t go through the entire non conference schedule.

Virginia #1 AdjD
Purdue twice #18 AdjD
Wisconsin #11 AdjD
ISU #41 AdjD
Minnesota #15 AdjD
Northwestern #29 AdjD
MSU #37 AdjD
Setan Hall #43 AdjD
Illinois twice #44 AdjD
Penn St. #47 AdjD

I don't think a single player from Big 10 would make B12 first team. Maybe Jok or Trimble over Evans? I still like Evans. Mason, Morris and Motley are untouchable for sure.

You must not have seen Swanigan play, he will probably be All American He averages more PPG, RPG, shoots nearly 45% from 3 and actually plays D.

What is Iowa's AdjD?

I watch plenty.

I also caught some of the PSU-Iowa game.

I don't care what the stats say...Penn State was bad at playing defense.

I've watched Wisky a lot too this year....they aren't good on defense.

And I'm not making it an ISU thing...they flake out on that side of the ball too, although it's improved from past years which has helped their other issues.
