This has been confirmed and is well-documented.HaLo posters who I suspect would be Bohannon level pathetic on defense:

Self centered whiners, one and all.
I read that differently the first time throughThis is straight bullshit. Sure, I let my guy blow by me
Of course you did.I read that differently the first time through
@ me, bitch!And Wolsey
I was overserved and annoyed. I don’t think I even meant to quote your post.I'm not sure why you quoted my post with that when I gave you those numbers in that post.
2019 teams took 41.2% of their shots from 3, 2020 it was 40%, this year it's 40.4%.
2019 they made 32.4%, 2020 it was 32.1%, this year it's this year it's 36.1%.
In conference play makes have gone from 33.9% to 32.8% last year to 37.5% this year. Percentage of attempts has gone up slightly from 42% to 45%. Obviously the defense has been bad but the frequency has been the same, I would guess the quality of shots are about the same so hopefully we're due for some regression there.
this is why I subscribe to Halo+Just watched 9 minutes of highlights and focused entirely on the defense on the guy taking the shot for Ohio State. Connor is terrible. The moment his guy passes the ball he backs off 3 or 4 feet. 3 time Ohio State just threw the ball back to the guy he was guarding within 1 second and the guy made an uncontested 3. Connor then shrugs his shoulders.
The play where Ohio State cut it from 7 to 4. Nunge was more concerned with standing in the corner on defense then he was leaving a guy wide open for 3.
My free trial is about to expire but this seals it, I'm signing up.this is why I subscribe to Halo+
Sure, if you only look at it from an offensive perspective. Even then I'll argue that CJ provides better spacing and is a much better passer that makes Luka's life easier. It's defensively where a healthy CJ really makes a difference.I want to convince myself it’ll all be fine when CJ is back healthy but they’ve basically been getting his production and then some from Nunge.
There were way too many moments like that. Jack trying to play point center then tripping over his own feet, JoeT dribbling right to a posted up Luka to where he could literally hand him the ball, then just dribbling away, JoeW not dunking on a fast break, and multiple quick shots without even trying to get it to Luka.There was a play late in the game where garza blocked out on defence under the basket and just froze there for three seconds while another guy grabbed the offensive rebound. Very confusing and unlike him.
Enough about your career as a financial advisor.This is straight bullshit. Sure, I let my guy blow by me, but only to set up picking his pocket and running out.
Other than JBo they are mental midgets at the FT line.
I said this during chat, but someone should convince Jordan that stops on defensive are worth 1,000 likes on Twitter.Probably a reach, but I would guess that combining pathetic defense and piss poor effort with attention whoring on social media probably doesn’t sit real well.
Someone gif up the two Ahrens threes late in the second half. JebusI said this during chat, but someone should convince Jordan that stops on defensive are worth 1,000 likes on Twitter.
I should cross post to the haloisms in real life thread, because that’s happening.I said this during chat, but someone should convince Jordan that stops on defensive are worth 1,000 likes on Twitter.
Yada, Yada, Yada. Like usual, you fill up a lot of space and never post anything of substance or merit.Here is all I know, this team was fucking smashing teams ever since the Gonzaga game with the lone exception of a fluke on the road in the last minute against Minnesota right up until the 2nd half of the Indiana game.
Won a tough game at Rutgers who was playing really well at the time, beat down Northwestern twice, skullfucked Maryland on the road, revenge against Minnesota at home by 15.
Then they lost CJ Fredrick at the half of the Indiana game where they were up 6 and held Indiana to 31 points. They got up 9 and then couldn't score and the final got inflated.
Since then they have been pretty much fucked. The defense has been one of the very worst in the country after being like a Top 25 defense during that 5 game stretch.
I don't know the exact reason why, but it traces right back to when CJ went out. I'm guessing it has fucked up their spacing, rotations, substitutions, and taken out maybe the best shooter in the country and a decent man defender and guy who can get his own shot.
Right around that same point Connor has become truly worthless and teams have been able to focus on Bohannon more.
The reality is without Fredrick healthy, they are a Top 15 level team.
It's not like they have a truly bad loss. Indiana at home is close, but even they were ranked #22 after that game.
The trouble is they don't have any easy games the rest of the year except maybe Penn State at home.

One last pussy ass excuse making observation.... tonight is likely where not having a roaring crowd at home makes a huge difference. If that game between #7 and #8 is nationally televised with the ESPN A-Team on site and 15,500+ fans going apeshit, I'm guessing suddenly they might give more of a fuck and be locked in on defense. It also might have been a bit harder for Ohio State to hit like 5 threes in a row with the crowd going crazy.

I don't think it's a reach. Listen to a recent episode of Bohannons podcast. The guy is more concerned with NIL and getting money from playing for Iowa than he is any bad performance. He admits that water will find it's level and they'll win some games and lose some games.
I only listen if they lose.
Jordan is unathletic on top of not giving a shit. But when guys like Joe W or CJ take plays off, its maddening. They're not the fastest guys in the world, but they're more than athletic enough to play at least passable defense.Good article on the Hawks defense:
It's time for Iowa to give up firepower in exchange for prideful defenders (247sports.com)
Looks like Fran was doing this in the second half of the MSU game, but not as much against Ohio St. The problem is that we have players, in particular Wieskamp and JBo, who seem to take possessions off from time to time. That's how you lose an 11 point lead. There has to be an emphasis on more focus and intensity on defense. Of course, some folks have said this all along.
That's the problem, isn't it? I just don't get it. Look, players at this level are too good to shut down, but if they all play with the necessary intensity, you get enough stops to win games like OSU, Indiana and Minn.Jordan is unathletic on top of not giving a shit.

That Connor doesn’t, and doesn’t will the others to like 10% more than they do drives me crazy. I LOVED him doing shit and almost fighting in years past. Have seen none of that this year. I want him, Jbo, and JoeW to be absolutely hateable guys, and they’re all so fucking soft.That's the problem, isn't it? I just don't get it.

Your mom.Do they have a leadership problem next year? Who steps up and fills that void?
Sign me upYour mom.
Boom! Final Four.
Joe t, ulis or perkinsDo they have a leadership problem next year? Who steps up and fills that void?
Connor.Do they have a leadership problem next year? Who steps up and fills that void?
He should go play in Europe. Make a good livingLuka is projected in the second round. He might come back
Well here’s the thing. He’s on the team.Just imagine this team without Luka.
Some of you might not believe this but they'd suck bad.
the best thing that could happen is Connor hits some dingers and goes pro in baseballConnor.
he can take my place in RC for the OP in Clivethe best thing that could happen is Connor hits some dingers and goes pro in baseball
