Reynolds to me is the shining example of how good of a coach Niko is. Reynolds has some deficiencies in his game. Not a great shooter, a little TO prone, a little handsy on def. He struggled a bit to start the year. Last 2 games he's had 13ast one game and 22 points last night, while playing...

At least they are fewer now that we're playing better

Real shame they had to cut to the next game right away. Would've like to hear a Niko and player interview in the court

THIS! Wow its fun to have a great coach and a fun team to watch

Biggest thing that turned is Iowas best player is their point guard. Having that is such a key in these type of games.

Howard is playing the game of his life. With out him we are up 15

HUGE SWING. Uff that probably should've been a foothold on JCJ instead we get the and 1

We just need one of these damn 3s to fall! Feels like we are just 1 big triple away from some big space.

Good half of ball. Most everyone stayed within themselves, didn't get rattled, and held Strirtz to almost nothing. Big half upcoming.

Team is up to a staggering 75.9% of baskets being assisted on. 88.8% over the last 3 games. Only 1 team over the last 10 years has even been over 69% baskets assisted, that was 15-16 Mich St. We are up to 74th in KP defense and 35th in def reb %. The defense didn't sound great, but...

Its a fluid ranking. So yes while they were 74th at the time, the loss pushed them to 83rd. Its based off the current rankings not what they were at the time of the game.

I'd push back a little on this point. We are not super physically gifted, but to be fair we are missing the starting PG, starting C and presumed 7th man, if we add that three to the talent pool we would be obviously better in that department. I guess my comment more leads to the point that...

I absolutely love this team and coach. Are we NCAA bound, not likely. Are we going to finish in the top half of the league? Probably not. But missing 3 key guys, we play a fun brand of basketball, we pass well, the coach maximizes guys who are limited in some ways. Excited for the future...
