Bennett Stirtz - Desperately needs help Stirtz accumulated 32 points (13-21 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, six assists and one block in 40 minutes during Wednesday's 77-70 loss to Maryland. Impact Stirtz shouldn't have to drop 32 points for Iowa to beat lowly Maryland, but his 32 points weren't even enough to prevent the Hawkeyes from losing by seven. His teammates simply didn't help him out nearly enough on the scoreboard. While Stirtz shot 62 percent from the field and canned four triples, his teammates combined to shoot just 31 percent and hit three shots from long range. Still, the listlessness of the star point guard's teammates has been excellent for fantasy managers, as he's surpassed 20 points in seven straight games and has been forced to take matters into his own hands, averaging 16.4 shots per game in that span.
