I have never heard of this Garza dude. I honestly have never heard of Iowa playing basketball, either.
Have you heard of the University of Evansville?

Beyond sad that you are hiding behind Evansville. Purdue lolHave you heard of the University of Evansville?
hey, you remember that one time you lost to that one team......total losers!!!!!Beyond sad that you are hiding behind Evansville. Purdue lol
I don't think Richards is a legit candidate for NPOY. But, I do find it baffling that you really didn't know who he is. If you're going to have a discussion on some of the best players on the national level, it would be advisable to know a few guys that play outside of your conference.

he his being mentioned ONLY because he plays for Kentucky and no other reason.
last night vs Wisconcin inspite of being triple teamed
21 points, 18 rebounds, 3 blocks and this was on a bad shooting night where he went 0-2 on 3 pointers and 6-15 from 2.
right now he is shooting 37% from 3 on 20 of 54. Garza does much more for his team than Richards does for Kentucky. that should be how NPOY players should be judged not by who they play for.
I think I’m with dragon hawk on this one. Nick Richards hasn’t really done anything to be a mandatory addition to all NPOY finalist lists. He’s a solid player but he’s only been playing at a high level for a month now. I feel like at best he has a shot at honorable mention AA but that’s it. I’m probably wrong but I just looked at his resume. Tell me why he should be included on any top 10 player list?
Iowa fans battling U6 fans for the "Pay attention to me!" award.
Iowa > your teamIt's a 5 man race between Toppin, Pritchard, Carey, Dotson and Myles Powell imo.
Garza doesn't play on a good enough team to be considered, NPOYs nearly always come from title contenders.
Iowa wrestling > whatever Kentucky pussed out and substituted that sport for instead...........I have never heard of this Garza dude. I honestly have never heard of Iowa playing basketball, either.
Well usually that's what happens when you lose to Evansville.hey, you remember that one time you lost to that one team......total losers!!!!!
If by Iowa fans, you mean people from other fanbases who are fans of the work Iowa and its fanbase does, then yeah.....those guys.Iowa fans battling U6 fans for the "Pay attention to me!" award.
Nah. It's Connor Gholson.Myles Powell is the clear favorite to me.
what more does Garza have to do? to deserve your BS response?
Wieskamp is 2nd in scoring @14.9 ppg, 6.2 rpg, 1.9 apg and 1.0 spg
Fredrick is 3rd in scoring @11.2 ppg, 3.0 apg, 0.8 spg.
Garza is doing this against DBL and sometimes Triple teams.
I was going say him. He at least has to be on the list.Nick Richards, of course.
I don't think there's a chance of him winning it, but he is the best player on a highly ranked team, and a front runner for POY in a P5 conference. He should at least be on this list.I was going say him. He at least has to be on the list.
I mean,this is ****ing mind boggling.who is Nick Richards and who does he play for?
He keeps playing as he has, and he'll get his due. He's a game changer. W/O him, UK would be in a ton of trouble.I don't think there's a chance of him winning it, but he is the best player on a highly ranked team, and a front runner for POY in a P5 conference. He should at least be on this list.
We're very average when he's on the bench.He keeps playing as he has, and he'll get his due. He's a game changer. W/O him, UK would be in a ton of trouble.

Why do we need to do that again?......Win something.... anything meaningful.
Why do we need to do that again?......
That's probably why everyone is losing to us this year..........you're seeing why in this thread. Nobody but Iowa fans take Iowa seriously.
That's probably why everyone is losing to us this year......
But really though, what constitutes as meaningful?
If he keeps this play up he might be 3rd team All American when the season ends.Richards:
15 points and 11 boards last night in 22 minutes. Kentucky is a fringe top 25 team without this guy. He shouldn't be the favorite by any means, but there is talk about this guy being SECPOY. He needs to be at least in the conversation for NPOY at this point.
What an accomplishment it would be for him. Not many people, including myself, thought he was a strong option at center to start the year. I was all in on Kerry Blackshear. But I am so proud of Nick. He just gets better and better.If he keeps this play up he might be 3rd team All American when the season ends.

don't you know he plays for Kentucky so he is the ONLY ONE that should even mentioned for the NPOY,I like Richards as a player but I'm not sure being talked about for SEC POY necessitates mention for NPOY. The highest rated SEC team on Kenpom is LSU at 30.
don't you know he plays for Kentucky so he is the ONLY ONE that should even mentioned for the NPOY,
Kentucky = Blue Blood
Blue Blood = ONLY PLAYERS to be considered for the NPOY.
Oh well uhh cool.....We've been to 3. What else you got?With regard to Iowa, hell a Final 4 would at least be memorable. Winning rock fights in B10 basketball not so much.
