Can you imagine Iowa

Trying to get a shot off against TT.

Against that caliber of defense Iowa would be lucky to score 40 in the game.

Michigan was supposedly a great defensive team, too, and Iowa took them to the woodshed. Nobody knows what would happen if they played.

Michigan isn't in the same stratosphere defensively as TT.

I’m pretty sure if Iowa State can beat them twice and West Virginia can beat them that we could get a shot off. I could be wrong though.

They'd get a shot off. But they'd be overwhelmed defensively if they played this year

I know, I was just poking fun at the OP, for making it sound like Iowa wouldn’t be able to get a shot off. TT is a great defensive team, but the way the NCAA decided to officiate the tourney this year really played well for them. From the Sweet 16 on it seemed hard to get a foul called and the games were more than physical. I can’t remember so many games where the team trying to foul at the end had to do it 3 or 4 times just to get to the bonus. All of the games I saw from the Sweet 16 on, looked like games we would struggle to score. Waaay to much mauling, checking, grabbing, etc for my taste. Strength and aggression are being valued more highly than skill.

They're vulnerable to the pump fake and the swinging gate....

This. When is the last time that MSU had to foul several times just to get the other team in the bonus? That tells us something about how the game was called.

In your dreams. Far too quick for us.

Depends on whether the refs call a close game or let them back away.

Trying to get a shot off against TT.

So "a shot?"

Listened to Randy Peterson try to reason that Iowa State could have beat Virginia today... It made for a good laugh.

You can laugh but so am I at your stupidity. Quickness and good coaching of defense = no chance for Iowa. God you are a homer.

Well, ISU beat them in Lubbock, and we whipped the clones convincingly, so hell yes we could beat them on a good night. They made a great run in the tournament, but it wasn't like they were that great all season.

You must be one of those idiots on this site that thought Mexico was literally going to cut Trump a check to build the wall.

I'll give you good coaching of defense is a problem, but don't for one second claim the back court of Mooney and Moretti plays good defense because of quickness. Outside of the center position, TT is not any more "quick" than Iowa overall, but their defensive fundamentals make the difference. That and desire.

You must be one of those idiots on this site who exaggerate to the max.
