I have noticed Iowa gets called for a lot of touch fouls. I feel the players need to make sure they actually foul instead of slap down on the ball. They seem to shy away from being physical. Conner is the only player that will foul hard and not let players get an easy basket. I think this team can keep growing and improving with the correct line up. In order to make a run at the NCAA's, Iowa needs to be more physical!

The second half was a good example of that. It also carries over to the offensive side. I have noticed that sometimes when Iowa players get pushed around, they get tentative and either stop moving or the back up. They need to be more aggressive and force the issue, drive to the bucket, and make cuts without the ball. If the opponent grabs/bumps/pushes them enough eventually the refs will be forced to call it.
Jordan committed a nice, hard foul in the 2nd half.
Noi basket was made on that shot. Senior smarts.
