Yeah, they were still looking for Niang for about a month with no real alternative. This year's team has way better ball movement and ability to be multiple currently.
Geez, give that '16-17 team Jacobsen though....

Remember, though, that Iowa's best player right now is also a freshman. Even though he plays within himself a little bit more, he's never been in a game like this. THT played in a lot rougher gyms during his high school career, in comparison.
They key is to get Babb into attack mode... I just don't get why he is so reserved at times, especially when he has a clear advantage.
Who, Weiskoff or Weiscamp or whatever?
I've seen Iowa play a couple of times. I actually didn't mind him. Just seems to come in and play some ball. The rest of the team wants to do a 'hold me back' brigade over a lay up or unnecessary no-look pass.
Freshmen do tend to play with themselves. LOL
LOL, corrected. G.D. Google voice-to-text has really been sucking lately.
Weiskamp could have really been a star at Wisconsin. Instead he’ll just be Matt Gatens at Iowa. But that was his choice. Nice player though.

He does have a really sweet stroke but he needs someone around him to create...
Stupid question - How does recovery from an injury like that work, anyway? Is it something where it's like degrees of healthy or is it an either/or deal where his foot is sprained and he can't play or it isn't sprained and he's good to go?
Because if it's the first thing where he can play even if the sprain isn't all the way healed then I'd just as soon he sit until it is.
I think he'll be better than Gatens. He's a lot better athlete. As far as not having a great team around him, like Gatens, you are probably right.
I agree he’s going to be the big fish in a little pond, deal with coaching flux, and will be pretty lucky to get to an NCAA.
Because as the PG, it's vital to get others in the flow of the game. He picks his spots so he doesn't put up bad shots. A bigger concern is THT's shot selection, though it will improve as he figures things out. Until Wigg returns, he is the one who can create his own shots the best, and he is an excellent passer. Babb will still have the ball in late game situations .
I "for sure" will enjoy beating Iowa without Lindell playing in their house. I will "for sure" hold that over their heads.
I would expect a few of these.

The awful foul at the end really sells it.
Jacobson-to-Lard could mean some sexy big-to-big passing.
Iowa State will beat Iowa on Thursday without Wigginton. Book it.
They can, but it will be tough. Iowa likely coming off back to back losses and will be playing their butts off to not make it 3 in a row. ISU will have to come out with lots of energy. I think this game will be a pick em.
