One of the few things people have been critical of this season is Adam Woodbury for the iowa hawkeyes. But really his numbers havent been that bad. Alex giaimo tells us how the hawkeyes big man is using the critics as fuel for his game. alex giaimo Adam Woodburys fourth year on the iowa hawkeyes has been nothing short of incredible. Hes heard plenty of criticism from haters over the years but this season, the 7 foot 1 center, is finally feeling appreciated. Adam Woodbury i mean who would say it obviously feels nice being appreciated but for the few people that didnt appreciate me that kind of gave me more motivation to work even harder. mike gesell people get on him or when theyre praising him i think he still just stays true to himself and still just plays his game. You know hes not looking for approval or anything hes just looking to get better every single day. giaimo hes a dirty work type of player, so his stats were never eyepopping. But this year hes averaging over 9 rebounds and close to a doubledouble in every game. He also wins nearly every 50 50 ball on the floor. Fran Mccaffery his role is obviously much more critical than its ever been. Hes been a starter since he got here but the way he anchors the defense and the communication that he provides and the rebounding. You know he doesnt make mistakes hes scoring the ball. He provides an element of toughness that i think every team needs. Giaimo Woodbury always believed that he was on the right path and now hawkeye fans are now buying in. Adam Woodbury i think if you guys listened to some of my interviews from back what i wanted to do. I wanted to help bring the iowa team back to some of the National Prominence that it used to have. This is a very storied program that we have so were just trying to help it and get some of the esteem that it once had. giaimo in iowa city with your hawkeye headquarters report, alex giaimo, local 4 sports.

And theyre coming off of a five to one win in chicago last weekend. The wild have won three of their last four in large part because theyve gotten healthy up the middle with their centers. Its a team that looks rejuvinated the second half of the season here. While theyre still back in the standings head coach John Torchetti says its a lot more fun putting some tallies in the win column. He feels the program is at a point where it once was before they made the move to iowa. Before i got here before we moved from houston thats exactly how it feels. Great locker room great atmosphere everyone the guys who are doing well and develop correctly are the ones that get called up and thats what the idea is being an American League team. Its a lot of fun, fans have been coming out in droves. Weve been getting over 10 thousand on a weekend the last five games and theyve seen some pretty nice games. The wild will be doing thier annual pink in the rink event tomorrow night as they host the grand rapids griffins. And then again saturday the two teams meet both games will drop the puck around 7 p.
