Iowa pregame

Announcers said Bohannon set an NCAA record tonight for most games played by an NCAA men’s basketball player. I’ll never forget the pictures of him setting up his 8-track in his dorm room.

Please tell me it was Jess Settles' record before that

I think this is his 7 season or something with Iowa.  And he might even have another season left in him still.

Unknown to most the NCAA has the Jordan Rules which allows any player with the name Jordan (first, middle and/or last) to play for as long as they want

The first half was decent but the wholesale subs did not work... again. They lost the lead in roughly two minutes of play. I'd suggest forgetting that idea completely. Sub two. Sub three. Don't sub five for a group that is clueless at best on the road.

Iowa came out strong in the second half but X made it a lot easier on them. Rob wasn't much better. It's hard to win if you can't trust your upper class PG's to protect the ball. But they were no different than the rest of the team in that regard.

Just as frustrating is IU not competing on the boards for long segments. It may be TJD and Race were fatigued by the second half but Kopp and Parker played 50 minutes and totaled three rebounds. At the same time, X and Parker continue to see how many fouls they can rack up. Not understanding some of the really stupid fouls they continue to commit. In X's case, it may have been a blessing in disguise that he had to come off the court because of the turnovers.

Tamar still looks lost. It's been a rough month+ for the Freshman. He clearly is not sure how to get a good shot and it always ends up a one-on-one make a wish shot. His best moment was the steal and dunk. He'd be better served to focus on his defense and try scoring in transition. 

Durr and Geronimo are just not solid enough to play more even though it would help the team if they could just play somewhat decent for small periods of time. They come in and commit some fouls and turnovers, maybe hit a shot, and back to the bench. 

CMW keeps saying he has to help them get over the hump. If the hump is low basketball IQ and lack of maturity he has a long way to go.
