[Herky] Close but no cigar

[Rick]

I agree with you, Joe. I think Jordan has been hurt much more that we
thought.  That lack of a short jumper will keep Cook out of the draft and
will keep him at Iowa.  I am encouraged for next year. I think the 1, 4 and
5 are in good hands. We need help at 2 and 3 with Nunge showing promise and
a couple of good shooter coming in. When Jordan is 100% healthy I think he
will be fine at the point. Needs to play fewer minutes and we have recruited
well. 

 

It is up to the coaching staff to light a fire under these guys to play
better defense, to trust more and I think a years maturity will do wonders
for all of them. This was a VERY young team and I saw flashes of a very good
team, but just flashes. Need more consistency and much better defense. Garza
will be the emotional leader and as he improves so will the tea,.

 

On to Football !

I few things I have read or heard. (1)  Jordan Bohannon was probably hurt
much more than we knew.  I expect that his foot issues severely limited his
lateral movement, which would impact his defense more than offense. On
offense we also did not see many of the moves he used last year that
required quick change of direction to get open for his three point shot.  If
he can get healthy I think his offense and defense improve.  (2) Fran
apparently told the players that there will be significant changes to the
strength and development program this off season.  (3) Rumors abound about
Tyler Cook and whether he will be back. The biggest rumor was that he would
go to Missouri. He put that rumor to rest on Twitter. My guess is he gets
the NBA evaluation and is told he is not ready and returns.

I thought our men might embarrass themselves in Madison Square Garden last
night, but they held up very well.  The defense was OK.

 

We need more consistent, effective three point shooting besides Bohannan,
another point guard, of course, and Nunge to bulk up and be able to make
those bunnies.  But there is great potential here IMNOSO, and I look forward
to the future.

Hawkeyes took Michigan into OT and had several possessions to tie but
couldn't do it.  Lots of fouls and both teams had numerous defensive lapses.
Kriner looks herky/jerky but is productive.  It will be interesting to see
if one or more players transfer and if Iowa can find a grad eligible point
guard to come.   The empty seats in MSG is not a good look for the Big Ten.

 

Tracked women - It seemed that Megan had foul trouble and had a subpar game.
After the huge first quarter - 28-1 I think, it got within 4 or 5 in the 4th
quarter but they ended up winning by 10.

 

Go Hawks!
