GARZA now #1 at IOWA

[billysink]

I like that comparison to Luke Garza.

Same body type and body movement.

Now to find a modern-day Garza.

Joe Kleine last played in the NBA in the year 2000.

Lopez brothers, Steven Adams.

 

[TobyTyler]

Brook Lopez is funny, takes as many 3s as 2s now, doesn't go anywhere near the paint

Ed O'Bannon, haha the Nets drafted him number 9 in 95 I think.

Two rebuilt knees on a number 9.

Sat on the bench cried for his Mom for 2 seasons and quit.

O' bannon and Sonny vaccarro stuck it to the ncaa pretty good.
O'Bannon was selling cars at Findley Toyota in Las Vegas, not sure if he still is.

 

[Bigrunner]

Haha.

Kevin McHale is a Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall-of-Famer.

Luke Garza will be inducted in the University of Iowa Athletics Hall-of-Fame, next to FISHHEAD's plaque.

In honor of Fishy, add "CommanderBlower" to the EOG glossary. Even include a picture of Fishhead with the entry.

Can't remember the last time the best senior and freshman were white....

Hmmm...

Was there a star freshman the year Jimmer Fredette was a senior?

Researching now.

And, of course, "best" senior and freshman is a matter of opinion.

We're probably better off researching the NBA Draft, not Wooden Award winners.

I'm open to suggestions...is there a better frosh than Michigan's Dickinson?

He's already 20 years old. Mommy and daddy wanted to be sure he dominated middle school ball

 

[TobyTyler]

The Florida State 6'9" frosh is a better pro also

Ok st Cade Cunningham is a freshman, and will be either be the first or second player taken in the draft.

 

[railbird]

Same sport, different games.

Below-the-rim big men are hard to find in the NBA.

both games very hard to watch in 2021. bring back 2014 when nba totals were 187 and cbb totals were 104 on low end and 145 on the high end.

i would like to see Freshman play freshman ball only and be inelgible for varsity

 

[skinny]

UCLA freshman team beat the varsity team in 1966. The varsity was coming off back to back national titles.
The freshmen team had some guy named Lew alcindor.

Pretty cool heim.

Lucius Allen and Lynn shackelford also on that team.

I like Dickinson too.

He has a little nasty streak in him.

Critical for a finesse team like Michigan.

Of course, TT's point about Dickinson's age (20) slightly changes my handicap.

Hunter Dickinson is listed at 7-2.

Want a future hoopster?

Search for women who played college volleyball.

Hunter Dickinson's mother played volleyball at Niagara.

 

[Heim]

This will be a good test for Garza tonight....let's see if he can stay out of foul trouble.

Hunter Dickinson's mother played volleyball at Niagara.

Just read a story in The New York Times about Randy Johnson's daughter.

Her name is Willow and she's an elite volleyball player at age 22.

Played well at the University of Oregon and now she's looking to play professionally.

She stands 6-3.

 

[Heim]

Garza moved into the second round tonight.

 

[Heim]

I have to think there's some value with PUR, ILL, and/or MSU in conf tourney prices. Iowa, Mich, and Ohio St want 3 games in 3 days before Big Dance?

 

[John Kelly]

Good call last night with Michigan, HEIM.

Garza's big feet don't move very fast.
