Iowa Walk-On Nicholas Baer Stuffed The Shit Outta 7-Foot-2 Isaac Haas Last Night

Huuuuuuuuuuuuge win for the young Iowa Hawkeyes last night. Probably the B1G game of the year last night between the Hawks and the Boilermakers. 20 lead changes. A couple controversial calls at the end. Peter Jok going OFF for 29, 8 and 6. But the moment of the night by far was former walk-on and 6-foot-7 Nicholas Baer stuffing the SHIT outta 7-foot-2 Isaac Haas. Pushed his shit allllllllll the way in. That is cool in itself but Isaac Haas is more than just a 7-foot-2 dude. If you’ve ever seen him you know what I’m talking about. Don’t get me wrong, no one would mistake him for Hakeem Olajuwon around the rim but he is just a massive human being.

I mean look at this mother fucker

He’s a big 7-foot-2 if that makes any sense. He’s bigger than your average 7-foot-2 guy. He looks like Frankenstein is what I’m trying to say. Contrast that with Nicholas Baer. 6-foot-7 and the textbook definition of every white basketball player ever. Gritty, works hard, dives for balls, does the little things, high motor. The fact that he’s a walk on makes it even more perfect. So for him to swat a human who is much much much larger than him was a big victory for Iowa. Maybe even bigger than the upset win over a #17 ranked team. Big victory for Nicholas. Big victory for the young Hawkeyes.
