Iowa’s Luka Garza is having a season for the ages. The Hawkeye big man is a virtual lock to be the player of the year in the Big Ten and has established himself as a serious candidate for the Naismith Award given to the top player in all of college basketball (Dan Dakich, Dick Vitale, and Indiana’s Archie Miller have already endorsed his frontrunner status, while several ESPN experts recently picked him as their favorite to win the award). Garza’s candidacy is largely based on his offensive production, which has been basically unprecedented among post players in the modern Big Ten.
