That's because our top three bench guys are playing starters minutes due to injuries.
Watched this game at work in Bettendorf Iowa. Was huddled with about 7-8 Iowa fans watching the last 30 seconds. After the buzzer sounded I walked away with my hands in the air and let out a big "WOOOOO!!!"
How many floaters, hooks, baseline jumpers, etc. inside 10 feet did we today? I agree with you that we had tons of open, good looks. JCL missed two or three WIDE OPEN threes today. I bet he hasn't done that since before conference play.
Osu and Wisconsin are already in the top 5 (I think, I can't remember off hand where OSU is) so I'm not sure how much higher they can go haha.
I'm also not sure how much Iowa is reloading.
Sure it could be a good example of being prepared but again the overall point is that even the 88-89 team would have likely been greatly affected by all those injuries (or scenarios you played out) to the point of most likely not having nearly the season they did. You have to look at it in...
He's a 6'6" freshman who's already had a hear and a half of practice, collegiate lifting, etc. it's not like he's a true freshman that we're counting on to carry the load. Expecting 20-30 mpg of solid production in the rebounding and defensive categories along with a couple buckets isn't that...
You're missing the point. The point is that the team lost games it probably wouldn't have had gill not been injured. Much like the current team wouldn't have five conference wins and 13 overall with a healthy roster.
