Luka played 32 minutes w/ a -18

The other 16 mins MN was a +12
Looking at +/- in any game is messy at best, but c'mon this was a preseason game between Minnesota's 3rd and 4th string against Denver's starters. It is a miracle they didn't lose by a lot more.

Luka scored 25 more points than Jokic in just 4 more minutes. That’s all I need to see.

With KAT traded away from Minnesota, will Luka have a more prominent role for the Wolves this season?

He's still behind Gobert and Reid at the 5, can't see them playing him much at PF

He'll still play and have an increased role.

Is this that hard for you?

Keep shitting on an Iowa guy because you think it's funny though. It's hilarious.

Tiffany Reedy (I looked it up).

So actually, I am pinch-hitting. One of my teammates and still to this day a very best friend Jamie Cavey Lang has been doing the radio the last eight years. And so this year, she was having some health issues, and she stepped back. And Coach Bluder kind of called and said, ‘Hey, will you fill in for the year and sort of pinch hit.’ So I had filled in, like, when Jamie was on maternity leave, or when Rob [Brooks], the play by play person, does football. So I had filled in the last couple of years, a game here and a game there. But this is my first year doing a full season. So I kind of joke that I’m a substitute color commentator.

She was at the end of the prayers for the faithful yesterday, with specific mention of hospice. I just assumed it was an elderly person. That does suck for a lot of reasons including how the kids will deal with this for the rest of their life at Christmas time.

What was the story with that again? He was in Horner and Brunners class correct? So in theory, at one point Iowa could have had Horner, Brunner, Rhodes, Pierce, Leslie, Somerville and Reiner?

Nick DeWitz is selling real estate in Arizona with his wife. I remember when he committed thinking Iowa had assembled the greatest team in college basketball history. He then couldn’t pass any classes and by January ended up at Oregon State.

Mike Henderson also couldn’t pass any classes that first semester.

He was homesick and didn't want to play basketball. Don't think he ever played a college game.

My HC wanted Dewitz bad. We knew he wasn’t going to qualify. We actually got him to come to one of our games. Ended up in Utah and we got his midget teammate PG.

At least you got someone you could see eye-to-eye with about basketball.

I think the most excited I was about Iowa basketball outside of the mid 90s was when Alford was recruiting Beas Hamga, Emmanuel Negedu, Lewis Jackson, David Lightly, Evan Turner, Jake Kelley, Dairese Gary, some Malik guy from Pennsylvania etc. There was a random Canadian, Nathan Skinner in the class with Tony Freeman and Kurt Looby.

Then he missed the NIT and left before getting fired. Such a shitty coach.

Was he from Michigan?
Yes. Was down to Iowa and Michigan. Ended up with Michigan. They had that tiny pg Avery Queen. Don’t think Hart ever played there before transferring to Eastern Michigan. I believe Dean Oliver’s senior year Iowa lost to a bad Michigan team (Hart was on the team) at home to end the first half of the Big Ten season 6-2 and tied for first in the conference. Oliver missed the game tying shot at the buzzer. Iowa went 1-7 the last 8 games after Reckers injury.

I remember when Alford was recruiting Pierce and Chris Thomas at pg. He unfortunately landed the rapist. Thomas ended up as 1 of only 3 players in NCAA history to score 2000 points and record 800 assists. Point guard recruiting has been horrific since Pierce and Leslie.

I’m sure I’ve mentioned this before, but when Bill Bolster (who ended up running CNBC) and the KWWL crew acquired the rights to iowa games and launched the Iowa Television Network, the games got a fucking 90 share locally. Just insane.
