**Virginia Tech vs. Iowa Basketball - 11/10 - 6pm - FOX1**

Up 58-56 when he left the game, up 74-72 when he re-entered. Hopefully he can be a 35 minute guy, but Ben is still feeling the new pieces out.

Not having McKeever in for the overtime tip was completely Idiotic. Possessions are vital at the point and Cam already showed in the opening tip that he couldn’t out jump the guy.

I apologize to wade. Ben is a fucking idiot. Someone needs to give his kid mono. Any haloites have daughters (or sons) at Iowa?

 

[HerkyHopeful]

McKeever doesn't look healthy but nice to see him play as much as he did

Coleman sat from the 11:23 mark until 3:52.

It's insane, because from the first fucking time I saw him live a few games ago it's screamingly obvious he's going to be the guy with the ball in his hands when the game is on the line. A blind man could see he can get his shot whenever he wants. Defense isn't quite good enough yet, but that will come with time and it certainly is no worse than the fucking midget son of the head coach.

Can we just fast forward to the part where Benjamin McCollum figures out he's a flaming retard and plays the obvious players? Every single second that his Little Lord Peyton is on the court is a minute that Coleman or Coon or Thompson isn't on the court.

Stop the fucking madness. His son had one of the worst stat lines you can have tonight. He got blown by over and over, he did nothing on offense and he can't rebound. In addition to all that, he committed 2 horrible reach in fouls that led to 3 point plays in a game that Iowa needed a single point more to win in regulation.

Fuck Ben and fuck anyone who supports his dipshit kid playing.

 

[Silky Johnson]

Combs is slightly above average if that but given the situation you need to ride him nearly as hard as you did Stirtz. With the main difference being his mission should be to find opportunities for Koch and Sage.

Beyond that, Coon, Thompson, and Coleman should all play more but in the near term that pretty clearly won’t happen as Manyawu and little lick will be favored. If McCollum keeps this shit up with his son we won’t be making any tournaments. Big Ten guards will eat us alive if he plays more than 5 min/game.

 

[BillyBob]

I’m disgusted to say this, but L Tard was unfortunately correct.

 

[CamelTones]

I don’t really understand what the point of having a 7’3” guy is if you’re not going to put him in the game up 2 and a minute left knowing the other team is likely going to blow by one of your guards on a switch.

I also would like to know wtf happened with the Ace Glass recruitment because him and Coleman together would solve a lot of problems.

Well, Ben took a zero offer D2 kid and turned him into a first-round pick, so yeah you could easily argue he’s currently doing the exact same thing with his son. Problem is, we all know Lil Ben isn’t Stirtz. When a high end 2027 recruit looks at Iowa and sees the coach’s kid getting real minutes you could argue that the coach sees him as the next Stirtz development project. Under your own framework, the PG whisperer is just going to run the same process with his D2-level son, Peyton.

And we all know that Ben wouldn't guarantee minutes when Cayden's Mom asked for a starting commitment. Personally, I think it's a vanity / money thing with Cayden, just looking at his Instagram.

But you could definitely make an argument that playing his son is going to make recruiting the position much harder when he has proven he can do more with less, and his son is now the new project.

His kid didn’t sniff any D2 offers either.

 

[The Dad]

The Pear is getting a free pass in here. Embarrassing performance against actual D1 athletes. Who could have seen it coming?

 

[Fletch]

Cam is fat and I am sick of him already

 

[Shawneemicks]

Banks would have been better than cam or Jirak every day of the week
