    • I'm really, really excited about this team.

      I didn't have high hopes for the start of the year, as I thought we'd have similar struggles to last year in replacing so many players. I've never been so happy to be so wrong.

      We might not be the polished, well oiled machine I expect us to be by conference time ... but the talent level on this team is very, very high. Early is coming into it faster than I ever thought he would. He's going to be amazing. If EO can be the physical, dominant force he showed tonight ... man.

        No need to. If they continue to perform in that fashion they will find them. EO is raw on offense, but I could see a team maybe wanting to draft him inot the NBDL to see how he develops after 2 or 3 more years. Cleanthony OTOH will pretty much be a finished product after his two seasons as a Shocker.

          • great 2nd half... if Baker can find his shot again, watch out for this squad.

            • Iowa made 4 baskets that werent treys. I guess that would mean a solid domination of a big 10 team in the paint. But not sure how thats possible, as the Big 10 is a rough and tumble physical league, and the Valley is nothing more than a bunch of wanna be's that just shoot threes.

                  • This may have been mentioned already, but how many teams are 6-0 vs D1 teams? My guess is less than 5. Keep winning Shocks and good things will come!

                      • Wow. What a great way to watch basketball. Carlos kept the bourbon glass full at all times. Free buffet available entire game -- and not crowded or picked over. And the basketball -- Go Shox! The joy on Cle's face and body language after receiving MVP was classic. 3G pointed to the fans at least four times during the on-court celebration. Love these Shockers.

                          Great stuff! Also, for anyone that didn't listen to the radio broadcast, download it and check at Cle' at the end. If that young man doesn't make you proud to be Shocker fan, there is little hope for you.

                            • Any time you have twice as many blocks as your opponent has 2-point baskets, you have a good chance of winning. Granted the sample size is small. I've only seen it once. But with a 100% success rate.

                              26% of Iowa 2-point shots were marked return to sender. I would wager another 25-33% had the wrong area code.
