I can't remember a team this young and deep with athletes who are legit basketball players since the mid 80s.

Fran's disposition with this team is downright tranquil all things considered.

I fucking hated the bohannon offer too. A lot of us did. So fun

Seemed like a throwaway at the time and now it seems like a gold mine. Hot damn is it nice to have a good pg.

They'll piss some wins down their legs still but they're already playing high level offensively, just need to get better defensively and they're going to be a tough out.
Yeah I'm not putting any expectations on this season but I'm not going to count them out in any game.

I'm sick that I couldn't make it tonight.

If anyone is feeling super happy just remember that losing to Omaha is going to keep us out of the tournament.

FTR, I hated when people were comparing Cook to Basabe earlier this week. He's raw but he has a lot more skill than Basabe ever dreamed of. His touch pass to Pemsl in the first half is a glaring example.

Here's to hoping for good news on the injury front. Uhl fucked his wrist up, Pemsl looked to be in a lot of pain, bohannon rolled his ankle but seemed to be fine.... That was a rough game.
Eh. Don't care about Uhl anymore. Kreiner hopefully passes him up in the rotation
Dom of the last few games can still help this team. Kreiner is totally different. That kid can play and has a future. I just don't know how he gets minutes the next few years.

I love that you spelled it wrong twice.

That thread around that time would be fun to revisit. I think I'd come out alright on that. I didn't expect this as a freshman but I saw him a few times last year and knew he was a tough fucker. Liked that he had to create his own shot from 3 so much and got it off quick in tight spots.

Doug, OTOH, does not come out alright in that thread. Used the word "disaster" quite a bit.

Quite a bit.

He can score in the low post with both hands. He had a nice little flip shot with the left hand. Kind of a tough shot. I thought it was pretty.

The month of missing non-conference games as a freshman is huge also. He's gonna be really good. Was better than Pemsl tonight. The depth we'll have in the front court over the next few years is incredible.

Pemsl was terrible the first 5 minutes and Cook made up for it.

McCabe and Paul Burmeister are not too fond of some Iowa fans.

Better than Edwards broke ass side spin shit
Swanigans also rotates at about a 45 degree angle. Kept thinking his free throws were going to clang off the iron and they spun in every time.

Lol at Iowa winning that game with Purdue shooting 21-25 from the line and Iowa going 9-18.

God bless Fran and staff. He still doesn't get enough credit for the Godsend he has been to this program. I love this squad and damn near everything about it. Great night at Carver.
