Here is a clip for him. He's #10. The team they were playing against beat them soundly and that's probably to be expected as at least 3 of their guys are international players. He can run, he can shoot, he is tall....many of the check marks of what we're looking for. Kavas with better handles. Also Kavas like on defense. I'd have to watch the international tape to see if he plays it. The other guy listed here is supposed to be 6'8". They look about the same height I think. It doesn't appear that anyone else is really offering him. Seems to be ours for the taking if we think he can hold up in this conference.

We're top 20 in KenPom for 3p% against

Chose Michigan I guess former college centers are his bag

Looks like Stanford and Nebraska are high on the list https://www.zagsblog.com/2020/01/06/wilhelm-breidenbach-says-three-schools-working-hardest/ Will he join us, Max Murrell, or somewhere else?

Is team FT miss percentage a nationally tracked stat?

Going out to see him in the next couple of days

He's still on our radar. We're going out to see him in the next two days

You have to think that him transferring to Iowa wasn't all about playing time. His role was Bohannon insurance when he signed.

He's in a platoon with Thorir and with TT playing so well and Kavas not really doing anything with his minutes it was a no-brainer to stick with Thor.

You are right that we got lucky that Wieskamp couldn't buy a bucket but given the roster Iowa was trotting out there it was the right gameplan. Clogging up the paint not only slowed down Garza but also made either him or Kriener have to play out on the perimeter. While I agree that buy-in made it happen...that was a part of the reason this game went well vs what we saw vs Rutgers. I disagree that this was a bad plan though. It was the right call vs Rutgers and Iowa and will be vs Northwestern. If we try to pack the paint vs Ohio St.....THAT would be a bad plan.

Stating the obvious here but those consecutive 3s by Thor were just huge. Steered the game from tight finish to comfortable last couple of minutes

Good change

After the game I thought whoever we play next we're going to lose by 20 to and then I see it's Northwestern and I don't know where the rollercoaster will go

Mack likes dishing assists. Thor makes this easier for him.

That's our default defensive game plan.

Iowa 86 - Nebraska 79 4

Nebraska Cornhuskers (6-8) vs Iowa Hawkeyes (10-4) Date: Tuesday Jan 7rd, 2020 Time: 8:00 p.m. Arena: Pinnacle Bank Arena (15,000, 29th largest in D-I) Broadcast: BTN Iowa Info Head Coach: Fran McCaffery Location: Iowa City, IA Conference: B1G Nickname: Hawks Coach's Nickname: White Magic Mascot: Herky the Hawk KenPom rank: 20 Point Spread: Iowa by 7.5 Depth: 9+ Previous history: Nebraska leads the all-time 8-4. 2019 had eventful meetups as the Huskers melted down at the RAC as part of a 7 game conference skid and beat the Knights in their B1G tournament run Shirt not to wear: Medieval Offensive Style: In the paint Defensive Style: In the paint Key Injuries: Patrick McCaffery - out Jordan Bohannon - out Jack Nunge - out CJ Fredrick - questionable: ankle Connor McCafery - quesionable: illness Hoiberg Presser Yvan Ouedraogo Presser Discussion mostly focused on the start of conference play Players to watch: Luka Garza Garza is having a monster year as the junior center is averaging 22.5 ppg to go along with 10.1 rebounds and 1.6 blocks. Nebraska will try to deny Garza but the outside shooting and passing ability of the Hawks will make this quite difficult Players to watch: Joe Wieskamp Soph Joe Wieskamp is a sharp-shooting G/F who is over 40% for his career. Wieskamp is Iowa's 2nd leading scorer at 13.5 per game Roster points PG SG SF PF C Pct 2 1 Joe Toussaint 6-0 185 Fr 5 CJ Fredrick 6-3 195 Fr 30 Connor McCaffery 6-5 205 So 10 Joe Wieskamp 6-6 210 So 55 Luka Garza 6-11 260 Jr 11.4 Iowa is the walking wounded with 2/5ths of their current most used lineup questionable A lot of ball handlers on this team as Toussaint, Fredrick, McCaffery and Evelyn are point guards Freshman Toussaint became a starter with Bohannon out for the year. He's beenhas been an aggressive driver with an inconsistent outside shot Fredrick is shooting lights out, hitting 50% from 3 Connor McCaffery is the least turnover prone of the guards and draws a lot of contact. Outside shot still isn't there Senior F/C Ryan Kriener will play alongside Garza at the 4 and is capable of making 3s Jr Cordell Pemsl is a formidable rebounder but has brought zero offense this year. He's depth for Garza and Kriener Senior grad transfer and former Husker Bakari Evelyn was brought in for depth/leadership but has seen his minutes uptick with all the Hawkeye injuries. Evelyn is turnover prone and his outside shot is inconsistent Former walk-on Riley Till is depth but isn't much of an offensive threat when on the court. Michael Baer and Nicolas Hobbs are walk-ons that could see limited action Multimedia It's On, Hoiberg snippit The Infamous "Francon Alert System" The Skinny: You might have forgotten that Nebraska started out that Rutgers game quite well and possibly would have won if they'd played the rest of the game like the first 8 minutes. The Huskers were hit by the adversity train and never recovered as their inability to score often led to poor defensive effort. The silver lining to Nebraska losing is that they tend to put in more effort and focus after a loss. Will it be enough against this depleted Iowa team? I expect Connor McCaffery to play but the possible loss of CJ Fredrick and his outside shooting would be a big blow to the Hawks. Regardless of who will play I expect Iowa to stick with their game plan to execute with pace on offense and run their 1-2-2 zone off of made baskets. Nebraska will get points in transition tonight..will they be patient enough to work into what should be a forgiving zone? On defense the best Nebraska can probably hope for is to fluster the offense into turnovers that they can in turn into offense. Enough of that and the Huskers might pull off the home upset. If Iowa is allowed to execute their offense without any pressure it's likely to be another home beat down. Prediction: Iowa 86 - Nebraska 79 View full article

Huh, I thought he'd pick Georgetown

Nana because of the suspension and Allen because he had his foot out of the door when Kenya left.
