[QUOTE="Deleted member 746094, post: 1445381"] Not sure why Kipper is starting over AJ at this point. The minimal height and athletic advantage Kip gives us over AJ is immediately nullified when the ball goes into play. When you lose by 20+ it is never on the refs, but TJ got whistled for 2 fouls that were absolute phantom and the ref was looking to call them. Especially the one in transition off the ball. Giorgi got mugged a couple times going up with offensive rebounds and no call. The hook and hold calls and reviews are ruining the college game. Ask Bilas and Dickie V. They will tell you. Ayo is not ready for the NBA. Iowa completely contained him until they extended the lead and started to back off on D. He will be a dominant force next year with an improved midrange game, strength and better off the ball D. He lost his man at least 3 times today. I would rather see Samba(5) and Giorgi(4) on the court at the same time than Kip/AJ(4) and Giorgi(5). Iowa completely took advantage of our necessity to double anytime the ball went into the lane. This is why they shot 71% from three. No matter how good your rotations, good teams will move the ball fast enough to find an open shooter when always forced to double two post plays. Welcome to the party Kofi. Just hoping that the young guys keep improving, AJ stays healthy so he can finish his senior year the way he deserves(on the court), and we see more performance like we did against the Golphers and less like today’s.
