Iowa Basketball has a disease and it has been classified as Gatens-May Retard Syndrome. The program will be light years better once they both are far away from this team.

Aaron White needs to take more shitty shots.
Someone has to. When players pass up good shots someone has to try to step up.

I agree with Doug, White's a year away, but I think he'll be a good one.

I have seen guys mail it in before and I can say without a doubt that Gatens has absolutely quit on his team. He isn't even trying.

ISU is going to be 10-3 going into the Big 12. Not shabby.

I dare anyone to go back and really watch this game. All problems start with Gatens. He is lazy on Defense which allows their guards to constantly penetrate and cause chaos. Then he is passive on the Offensive end and causes the whole team to tank.

I don't think that's the case at all. You're seeing the extent of his abilities when he's game planned around. He's just not very good. Can't create, marginal shooter, marginal defender. Good free throw shooter. Many of his career points coming when the team is down 20-30 points, aka who gives a shit time.

Matt Gatens is a fucking disease. I can't even be mad at a guy like Eric May, that would be like getting mad at a disabled kid for shitting his pants, it isn't his fault.

This game went as bad as I (and pretty much everyone) expected.

Positive - Roy Devyn Marble

I'd just like to take this moment to call Whatever a huge faggot and sports retard (especially bball). He proves it nonstop.

Nope, that sequence at the end of the game there sealed it. He played bullshit defense on Christopherson just swinging at the ball, then didn't recover on the miss and when he got the ball he just took off and got a charge on purpose.

He quit.

My stream either froze, or Aaron White took a 10 foot stride.

It's like Oglesby is used to playing on losing teams. He's all-american in garbage time.

Either way, he's terrible like I've said many many times. It's not even an effort thing, he's just bad.

How so? I have been saying Gatens sucks for a while. He started off the year playing hard, but has faded the last 5 games to the point where he is a liability.

So, is Marble the starting PG or SF going forward. He isn't going back on the bench.

Positives from this week:

Marble has become clearly the best player on the team and filled in nicely with Cartwright out. He can get to the line pretty much any time that he wants and is still playing good defense.

Basabe has really started to wake up. He still sucks on Defense as always, but his offensive game is coming around and looks lively again.

Other than that, not much else good.

You gotta think Cartwright will be better going forward. Marble has to be the starting SF, move May to the bench so BBK can stop eating poop.

Bull fucking shit. You loved Gatens in the thread where I was bitching about him.

Brommer, Oglesby, May and Gatens all share the "we forgot there was a game tonight and woke up like 10 minutes before tip-off after eating a huge meal and drinking a box of wine" award.

No I fucking didn't. Not even close.

Saying he should play because all of the other options would suck as bad or worse is not loving him.

I CLEARLY have said I can't fucking stand the guy. You want me to pull multiple quotes?
