Too bad halo chats aren't searchable, lots of hate for Cooper. But the real basketball savants like myself bought Koch stock last year. Not that kind AZ.

That’s not what I remember. You were talking endless shit about Cooper in chat for the first 3 months of last season. It was right after you came out as a deeply closeted homosexual.

Remember when @Jim Tebow didn't think he would play at all?

Koch bad, Cock good

I was correct, though, in the metaphysical sense in that the koch of last season/pre-season evolved into something much greater. In the alternative, please note I didnt actually say that he wouldnt play at all. Also, i cant be blamed for the algorithm which predicted minutes. Thats pure math (aka science). And as a final note please be aware koch was still pretty one dimensional and still just stood in the corner jacking threes. He looked much better when he started making them.

With all that said, i like him and hope hes a big contribtor this year.

Koch will be great this year since he’s dropping a few lbs and moving to his natural position

 

[BBK]

I'm also think Koch is going to be big this year

No way Iowa is that low.

Whereas, this guy seems a little too optimistic

 

[Hawk&Balls]

He definitely does his homework

Finishing in the 7-12 range keeps me happy. As we've seen, that seems to be where Iowa ends up and most years that's NCAA tournament quality. Now with Ben, NCAA tournament and conference tournament runs hopefully won't be as rare!

Hopefully, we can squeeze into the tournament where a McCollum coached team has a great chance of doing damage.

Fuck you.

Fran's teams were more in the 7 range
