Cooper Koch

But for Cale Combs, I guess I was left wanting more out of him, even as he leads the team in assists in this one.

Another guy is Cooper Koch.

And as we know, last year, Cooper, he was that designated sniper, bottom in the corner.

Jess Settles talked about in the broadcast shot, what, 60% from corner threes last season.

And he shot it well again, three of four.

But you need more than four attempts in a game from Cooper Koch.

You need him to be averaging 10, 12, 14 shots a game.

There is more to his skill set than just a standstill shooter.

But – Coleman's really fun in transition.

I think your top two scorers are definitely going to be Cooper Koch and Tate Sage.

How can Cale Combs – is Cale Combs the third guy? Is he the second guy? Is he the first guy? How are they going to handle the primary ball handler situation? Is Combs going to – take that jump as a fourth-year guard.

There are just a lot of...

Remember that.

I just don't know if he is that guy for this team.

The problem is, does Cooper Koch and or Tate Sage have the ability to create off the ball to be that guy yet? Because I don't think Coop does.

Tate might.

Cale Combs is back.

Cooper Koch is back.

And talking to Ben McCollum yesterday, he told me that Iowa is still figuring things out at the point of attack.

Illinois transfer Tyreek Coleman could be in play, as is Cale Holmes and Isaiah Howard, who Ben McCollum told me was the most improved player for Iowa since the end of last season.

Hit his only three-pointer.

officially four for four from the floor with that three didn't miss a free throw that was not the case for a lot of other guys he was four for four there had three rebounds had three assists just very solid steady and exactly what you want to see out of Cale Combs looking like a fourth year player Cooper Koch had 10 points knocked down a couple of three pointers looking for a little bit more versatility from his game and he did that at times saw a little bit there from Cooper Another guy that when we look at Cooper Koch, he's got to be more than a standstill shooter.

He's got to add a little bit more versatility to his game this year.

And I think you're going to see that out of Cooper Koch.

A couple other highlight guys in there when we go through and take a look.

Your starters were Cooper Koch, Cale Combs, Isaiah Howard, as we talked about.

Didn't shoot it great from behind the arc, was 2 of 7 from there, but also had a team leading 9 rebounds and definitely saw that athleticism of Isaiah Howard.

He doesn't have to shoot it at 45% from 3, but if he can be in that 37, 38%, something in that range, you're really going to have something with Isaiah Howard.
