doug means that in any previous year there would have been two more cakewalk non-con games, rather than msu and wisky in november.

I think he means that normally we would not play to super tough conference games in December

In previous years Iowa loved to lose one of those cakewalk games.

I really did not get to watch the first half, but holy cow was that first attempt by Connor completely awful. It looked way short and left. Then he somehow follows it up with a super confident looking deep three that goes in. I have no idea what is going on in his head.

Dribble, dribble. Pivot. Pass.

Well, I guess that's an irrelevant way of looking at it.
Last year Iowa played two Big Ten games in December and by February 10th, had played 14 Big Ten games.

The Big Ten went to 20 games this year. They were at 18 last year. The only reason there were games in December last year is because the schedule was moved up due to the BTT at MSG and the season ending a week early.

It isn't irrelevant. Iowa instead of playing Wisconsin and Michigan State would have played a couple of cupcake teams at home and won.

That is why I am pointing out that 19-5 this year means 21-3 with the previous schedules. Playing 2 more conference games led to games against Top 10 teams instead of Top 300 teams.

Hope this helps.

Add “score” at the end of that if you are going to complain. He’s in the top 10% in the country in assist rate and top 15% in fouls drawn. No, he’s not super quick but he’s effective.

Connor is a turd on offense. He should be thanking the good lord that the NW defender kicked that pass because it was unlikely Joe would have been able to catch that cleanly

Defenses have figured him out. Until he quits being a pussy and stops turning down open looks he'll struggle. He doesn't have to be lights out, but he actually has to be a threat to shoot a little bit. He is jacked though.

That's my concern. They are sagging off him to the point the passing lanes are muddled.

I think he can be a good player for the Hawks, but he needs to be a threat to shoot the ball.

I’m pretty sure that was a game tying layup. It was a nice tight curl and joe had him beat.

If the pass was there, it was either a foul on NW, a Joe layup, or a dish to Tyler (I think). The pass looked like it was going to be low though.

Seems like I remember during the Carfino-Hansen-Berkenpas time the Big Ten tried the 3 point line.
The Big Ten did use it during that time period for conference play only, conferences were allowed to experiment with it.

It became mandatory in 1986-87:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-point_field_goal

The NCAA's Southern Conference became the first collegiate conference to use the three-point rule, adopting a 22-foot (6.71 m) line for the 1980–81season.[17][18] Ronnie Carr of Western Carolina was the first to score a three-point field goal in college basketball history on November 29, 1980.[18][19][20]Over the following five years, NCAA conferences differed in their use of the rule and distance required for a three-pointer. The line was as close as 17 ft 9 in (5.41 m) in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), and as far away as 22 ft (6.71 m) in the Big Sky.[21][22][23][24]

Used only in conference play for several years, it was adopted by the NCAA in April 1986 for the 1986–87 season at 19 ft 9 in (6.02 m)[25][26][27][28] and was first used in the NCAA Tournament in March 1987.[29] The NCAA adopted the three-pointer in women's basketball on an experimental basis for that season at the same distance, and made its use mandatory beginning in 1987–88.[30]

It seems like Iowa hasn't had a guy that wants that shot at the end of games since Recker in the Douche Tournament.

Off the top of my head these are the clutch shots he's hit:
@Wisconsin his freshman year
@Nebrantska his freshman year (Iowa choked that one away)
@Penn State this year
@Indiana this year
@NW he made a 2 to put them up 7 with about 1:30 left
NW last night (he hit 3 3's and a 2)

It's been the one thing Iowa has missed for a long time. It seems Wisconsin has had that guy every year since Ryan took over, that hits the big shot in a tight game. 1.5 more years of bohannon doing it then he can pass it on to Joe.

He also hit a late 3 last year in the conference tourney to force OT against Michigan but then they pooped themselves in OT

He’s going to own the Iowa 3 point record by the end of this year and has an outside chance of catching Diebler for big ten record by the time he graduates.

I love that he is hitting shots late and everything, but he needs to start playing before the last couple minutes of the game. Start having that confidence throughout the game instead of passing on nearly every shot.
