He is a step up from john lickliter.
How many of those were scored with PM on theoplr floor?
Coach's son
If his back is still a problem, then okay. If not, then he is very limited and slow IMO.
He was not the only one being abused on defense, Jury still out PM IMO, but it will be a challenge for him.

Well if we are going to play two out of the three on the floor with Coleman, Combs, and McCollum, athletic guards are going to be licking their chops and last night is going to be on repeat defensively.
And risk losing Peyton? No way. Ben is here to stay.
Howard had a huge game - both on offense and defense. Pretty sure he had a double double too...
I think with last second shots, more times than not they normally let things play out unless it's an egregious foul. To my untrained eye, VA tech got a break as we did with Coleman on the next play....these zebras were just whistle happy the whole game.
Really wished we had not called a timeout in OT to set up a horrible off balance shot by Cooper. (see Minnesota ending for better shot/result)

Cade MacNamara replay? Could be.

Yes, the way he ended up playing in the second half, I agree. But Ben pulled him out so early, after he scored Iowa’s first 3 points. He missed his second free throw, and VT passed the ball down the court, deep under our basket, and I guess that made Ben mad. I watched the beginning of the game over and over. It made no sense to me. The free throw shooter shouldn’t be held accountable for that defensive break down. One of the guards should have guarded that pass.
Just to show that all plays and buckets matter in games like this, something that was only talked about at the time it happened very much helped change the outcome of the game. That being the buzzer-beater 3 that VT hit going into halftime. Changed halftime from a 2-pt Iowa lead to a 1-pt VT lead. Would have changed that 1-2 from the line for Coleman at the end of regulation from a tie game into a 3pt Iowa lead with :01.6 left on the clock & a likely heave from VT to try to send the game to OT. (can't remember if they had a timeout remaining or not)
That bucket going into half was nothing compared to all the missed FTs as to why the Hawks lost the game, but it still is a reason they ended up losing.
Just goes to show how luck really can impact games.

Really wished Coon would have played more...I hope one of the assistants didn't screw up? Pretty sure I read somewhere that they track minutes, etc. for Ben. I want to say this topic came up last season?
Ben assigns substitution to sash, I believe..
It has come up in past.
Jaylen Curry followed up his 25 points against Iowa by shooting 0-10 in VT’s game against Mt St Mary on Friday. Curse is alive and well.
