Pharrel Payne (back) and Elijah Hawkins (ankle) are both questionable for tonight's game

Injuries are a killer.
It is hard enough to win at the Breslin Center with all hands on deck, but to be short our best point guard and big would be extremely difficult to win.

Umm, Dawson Garcia would like a word with you about your assessment!

Then he'd have to plant himself down low in the paint and talk. Until then, he's not our best big. He is our best hybrid player.

I shudder to think about what this offense looks like without Hawkins.

I shudder to think about what this offense looks like without Hawkins.

I shudder to think Jack Wilson may get minutes in a conference game.

A lot of 10 sec calls

Still have not seen him play in any game. ...that bad huh?

You know, that might be one of the highlights of the game, or, maybe lowlights. Still, if you can't get victory at least go for amusement.

I shudder to think of a guard blindly running into Jack setting a pick.

Iowa's Fran didn't make any excuses coming into the Barn minus playing McCaffery.

If he plays like his stats, he has been way worse than Gaston playing against worse competition.

Rattlin' bones!

Garcia is our leading rebounder. He only defends 4s/5s and a smaller percentage of his shots are threes than at any time in his career.

About 20% of his shots are three pointers this year.
16% of Hunter Dickinson's shots are threes.

Garcia is a post player who can shoot. If you don't like where "plants" himself, blame the coach and modern basketball.

Rough N' Tumble is a good way to describe his play style

I predicted way back in fall that Jack would never see the floor. So far it has been satisfying but

He outscored Ihnen in 1/8 the minutes
