Their lack of research is off putting

Definitely not off pudding.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

Id be shocked if Iowa finishes behind the three teams listed in front of them. Maybe one of them, but certainly not Minnesota

Iowa is going to win the Big Ten!

Iowa is going to win the Big Ten!

That still leaves 8 other conference teams above us.

As good as Stirtz was, they got too complacent in relying on and defering to him, which led to a lot of bad end of clock situations. Will be a lot more well-rounded this year.

 

[douglasbader]

Stirtz famously almost never came out of games, but the few games that he did when he was playing like shit, the team suddenly made a big run and looked great with the ball moving and everyone chipping in on offense.

As weird as it sounds and maybe will end up being WATT, but I don't think losing Stirtz is going to be the huge deal the outsiders think it will be.

I don’t think you’re wrong. I think the ball movement is going to be way better this year. And if we do truly have more shooting, I expect the offensive efficiency to improve.

 

[BBK]

He really didn't shoot very well for a significant chunk of the Big Ten season

 

[Hawk&Balls]

No Alvaro will help the consistency. No chance of knowing if you could get 20 good minutes or 0 out of him

Someone else will take his spot in that regard.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

But it'll be someone younger that will conceivably get better

he was a bad defender made even worse by never coming out.
