In the lead up to the Iowa Hawkeyes game against the Ohio State Buckeyes, we asked some questions to Land-Grant Holy Land’s men’s basketball guru, Matt Tamanini.
1. The big story seems to be Keita Bates-Diop who has broken out in his junior year by increasing his points from 11.8 PPG in 2015-16 to 18.7 this year after missing much of last year with an injury. Besides health, what's been the main driver in this uptick?
I think that in addition to finally being healthy, the difference is that he’s now the focal point of the team, especially on offense.
