Game thread : IU vs Iowa - 12/4

[yogisballin 2,433]

6'11" Jack Nunge from Castle HS is starting for Iowa tonight.  One of those kids that I've always thought would come back to haunt us and be a major pain in our kiester for 4 years.  

Yeah I always wondered about this kid too. I can’t say that I knew he’d be solid bc I never saw the first video or anything of him. Always wondered why he wasn’t sought after a lil more. Looks like a strong body on him and I like his game

That's why you never give up on a play, even when it's your teammate. Especially with this team; you can't ever assume someone is going to make a layup.

I think Roberts shooting woes stem from his form.

That's another thing. Last year, Davis would've been shoe-horned back on the court while we were hot for say Hartman or Durham...because.

Davis needs to be more of a factor on the glass. RJ big with 6 rebounds.

We all see why Al was getting the nod over CuJo now huh? I’ve seen some of the comments on twitter saying how CuJo was better than this or that. Wish him luck but just never saw “effort” out of him . I’m done beating that dead horse

I still think he has conditioning issues although much better than last year.  He starts off well usually within the first few minutes then starts missing shots and picking up fouls b/c he is gets lazy or isn't in position.

I’m disappointed in him with the Mich game and the first half of this one so far! Hope he doesn’t lose that chip on his shoulder after that duke game. Felt he played with one early on

It’s not only conditioning. He’s extremely soft around the rim for a 6’10 guy. He can’t hit free throws. He’s slow on D and commits fouls because of it. Just needs a lot of work it seems

Gotta say Devonte got us out of our funk tonight—now let’s see if he can follow it up with a good second half

Yessir he does! Like what I’m seeing out of Juwan. He is always battling for that rebound!

Agreed it's just a contributing factor that still needs work. I saw him ask CAM to be removed from the Duke game in second half b/c he was tired. This after basically sitting out the entire first. This can't happen. And this was around the time Morgan had picked up his fourth. It killed us. 

His FT's are a mystery. It looks like he has no idea where it is going this year.

I wouldn't mind us posting up Juwan a little more.  He has been solid down low imo.
