Dickinson does it again

There was a lot of talk leading into this game about Luka Garza against Dickinson, but in the end, even though he had to deal with foul trouble, Dickinson took that matchup.

The true freshman big man defended Garza as well as or better than anyone has all season and he basically did it by himself. Just like last season, Howard refused to throw double-teams at Garza and allow Iowa’s shooters to have open looks.

Last year, it resulted in 77 points by Garza in two games. This time around? He got 16 points, but took 19 shots to get there and made just 31 percent. He also grabbed only four rebounds.

Dickinson, on the other hand, scored 14 points in just 23 minutes of work. He grabbed eight rebounds, blocked two shots and had an assist.

Basically, in every facet of the game, he outplayed Garza, which is darn impressive since the guy is probably going to be Big Ten and National Player of the Year, which is a glaring indication that Luka should not get either.

He’s not the best player in the Big Ten or the country and last night proved that once and for all.
