Ty'Reek Coleman is a stud.
Was not outmatched by SEC guards yesterday. Big time quickness and lots of paint touches.
60% at the rim on the year, 41% from three.
Had 17 points on 7/12 shooting. Added two assists and three steals.
Reminds me so much of LJ Cason.
Iowa has players at the 4 who are just as skilled, that fit better with Ben's style and attitude who are also cheaper.
Appreciate and wish Alvaro the best.
This allows Iowa to spend big on a pg and a center.
