What's working for the Hawkeyes is that they've found a coach with three extremely talented sons. That's gotta be on the list, right? (Never mind that 5 of the 9 rotation players for Iowa are Iowans.)
James Palmer the last three games:
Wisconsin: 5-19 FG, 3-7 3P, 3-4 FT
Illinois: 6-20 FG, 2-7 3P, 8-12 FT
Maryland: 2-13 FG, 0-2 3P, 8-11 FT
TOTAL: 13-52 FG, 5-16 3P, 19-27 FT
During the six-game losing streak:
We are shooting 25.4 percent from 3 (would be 351st of 351 teams if it was drawn out over an entire season) 33 of 130 (Jackson State 25.7)
We are shooting 32.8 percent overall from the field (351st of 351 teams over an entire season) (Delaware State 35.9 percent)
We are shooting 60.3 percent from the line (348th for the season — (Manhattan is the worst at 56.7)
Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse.
