Could Sapp D up Buddy Hield?

[IronFist1776]

I've watched Hield play and although he can be clutch from deep, he pulls a lot of moves and shots out of his keester. Not saying its all luck but he has a lot of horrific nights shooting.....but he'll hit the big ones. Anyone watch him enough to have an opinion?
I guess I'm asking because if Iowa hopes to advance, he may have to. I've seen Oklahoma play and to me, its Hield or bust although they are very athletic. Watched the first 3OT game vs Kansas and it was exciting.

 

[Herkmeister]

OU's big problem is they live and die with Buddy.

Can Sapp handle him? When Sapp puts his mind to it, he can kick Kobe Bryant's ass.

 

[EpenesaEpenesa]

Buddy's damn good. It would be an interesting battle

 

[backinblack23]

If I was a coach and had to defend Oklahoma I would use a 3-2 zone or maybe a 1-2-2 zone on them. They have no one inside that can beat you, Lattin and spangler don't really scare me, yes they get some points but they are usually garbage points or in transition. The key is to make them play half court and not get out and run.

 

[EZ2BJZ]

Buddy Hield is the best player in college basketball right now. I think a match up with Clemmons would be epic!

 

[HoustonREDHawk]

When Hield is on, it doesn't matter who is guarding him, but Sapp doesn't give anything easy.

Let's just have Sapp focus on stopping yogi tomorrow night.

Actually, he has very few horrific nights shooting.

 

[StormHawk42]

Could slow him down, but he'd still go for 20 he's that good. The key in that matchup would be taking away their other 3 point shooters.

 

[DenverTurtle]

Sapp could defend Jordka (a Michael Jordan/Mike Ditka hybrid) and shut him down.

When Anthony Clemmons donates blood he doesn't use a needle, he asks for a hand gun and a bucket.

I heard that when Sapp needs to shave he has to round house kick himself in the face. Because the only thing sharp enough to cut Anthony Clemmons, is Anthony Clemmons.

His team mates claim that when he does push ups in practice that he doesn't actually push himself up, but that he pushes the Earth away from himself.

Could Sapp shut down Buddy Hield? Did we surrender after the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

 

[buttermypancakes]

Actually, he has very few horrific nights shooting.

The guy is a 50% shooter from 3 and takes over 8 a game. Ironfist is a dumbass.

 

[colfaxhawk24]

I don't think Sapp would be on him. Woodard and Cousins are 2 really good guards.

 

[iowalawhawk]

Sometimes all you can do is slow someone down and force them into less efficient shots... that's probably all anyone can do to Buddy at this level.

 

[HerkyFan]

The key would be who is Buddy going to guard on defense? Run him all over the court to get him tired and then those end of game jump shots don't fall as often.

He is a great player though.

 

[hawkifann]

Buddy's damn good. It would be an interesting battle

I don't think Sapp could lock him down or anything, but I think he'd give Buddy a real challenge. What would be interesting would be to see if Sapp could get him frustrated early -- get him off his game a bit, get him frustrated and uncomfortable and see what happens. He'd still get points and he'd stay dangerous to the final buzzer, but I think Sapp could disrupt his flow for sure.

 

[Curt Furence]

The thing about Hield is he likely will get his points every game. He is going to take a lot of shots, sometimes questionable but because he shoots 50% from three you can live with them.

I'll admit i have only see him play I believe 4 times this year, but even when he isn't shooting the ball great, the threat that he will make the next 3 in a row is there. Take the Iowa State game for example. He finished the game at 7-14 but was 4-11 before hitting 3 straight with less that 5 minutes to go. So while I would be confident that Clemmons could defend him, I think he still gets his points and the secondary players for Oklahoma are the key.
Hield is going to get his but if you can limit him to 15 or so points you are in good shape. (Wisconsin holding him to 12 is his season low, and 17 is his next lowest)

 

[hawkifann]

Actually, he has very few horrific nights shooting.

I assumed the poster meant more that Hield is a high-volume shooter, so he does go through stretches fairly often where he'll put up some bad shots.....but he's such a volume shooter he also pretty much always comes back around and the end result is pretty good. A guy takes 18-20 shots, he's going to miss 8-10 most of the time. He's had 9 games where he's missed at least 10 shots.....but in 6 of those games, he's scored 25+ points. Wisconsin was the only team to hold him under 15 points this year, and he got 12 in that game.

lol Wut??

 

[myteamcanbeatupyourteam]

THIS. Good freaking grief. NONE OF US PLAY ON THE TEAM!!!

 

[hawkifann]

lol Wut??

What do you mean? I've watched him play 6-7 times this year. He always gets his points, he's always overall magnificent (I did not see the game against Bucky)....but he takes a ton of shots. If you only catch parts of games, you might catch a stretch where he misses 3 in a row or 4 of 5. You take 20 shots and shoot 50%, you're still going to miss 10 times.

Actually, YOU are, you overreacting, lying POS. I never said he was horrible, I said sometimes he has some horrific shooting nights. Does this ring a bell??? 5-16, 4-12, 6-17, 8-23 or 10-23? Man, I hate POS like you If you're such a POS that you can't comment w/out the urge to expose yourself as such, then I suggest that go have sex w/ yourself or put me on ignore, loser. Or better yet, end your misbegotten life.

 

[broth87]

Listen dipshit, buddy is one of the 2 or 3 best players in the college game. He gets his points every time out. It would be completely unreasonable to expect Sapp to shut him down when no one else has all year.
Yogi is a fraction of the player buddy hield is. Maybe let's see how he does against yogi before we anoint him the stopper of a likely player of the year.
Btw f u and your cyclones you douche.

You have proven time and time again on this site just how infantile and stupid you are....this thread is just more evidence that the best part of you was thrown in a bucket at birth and you are what is left for society to deal with.

Maybe Sapp can focus on what a ****ing idiot you are since the rest of us have to deal with it so often.

This. I've seen games where his FG % was abysmal but he kept shooting, got hot and made it look respectable in the end. He's an exciting player to watch and would love for Sapp to get a chance to guard him.

No, you effing ritard...you said he had a lot of horrific shooting nights, which is not anywhere close to being accurate.

So why don't you go back to slinging shit against the wall with broth87 and then using it for finger painting, you mouth breathing waste of oxygen.

So the b12 doesn't play defense in basketball either? Not surprising.

They play a very avg B1G team and he is, by his standards, shut down. Hmmmm.....

You need to follow your own advice and end your sorry ass life too, you POS. What is it w/ you pathetic gutless POS seeking posters out simply to try and blow them???

You are a witty piece of trash. Classic case of a guy who thinks he's far more valuable and better than he really is. Wish I could buy you for what you're worth and sell you for what you think you're worth. You would've been far better served getting your ass beat more when you were younger. You wouldn't be the ass you are today. I'd love to run into you sometime and we could really discuss it. You've been a wanna be bully since the first day I saw you on these forums. You're a petulant child and an absolute dumb ass.

Relax fisty. You stated he has a lot of horrific nights shooting in your OP. You then were only able to provide 1 game that Hield was under 33% shooting. It was a very dumb post but something you have the ability to come back from. Just try not to do it again.

 

[unoHawkeye]

I think Sapp/Uthoff's length would be enough to slow down OU enough for Iowa to beat them, but I don't know just how effective they'd be. Clemmons locked down Bryn Forbes and held Melo Trimble to only a few points.

 

[texashawkeye87]

This thread went off the rails quickly...serious business on these message boards.

 

[CaliHawkFan]

Why in the heck would you play zone vs. the #1 three point shooting team in the country? Zone against OU is a ticket to a blow-out. They have very few off nights from the perimeter ... as a TEAM they shoot 45.1% from three.

The three starting guards for OU shoot the following %'s from three:
Hield- 50%
Woodward- 48.6%
Cousins 46.8%

Our best three point shooters:
Uthoff- 45.2%
Jok- 40.8%
Uhl: 47.9%

 

[McK_Hawk]

Does anyone have a breakdown of how many points Melo scored per minute defended against Clemmons vs Gessell? I recall Gessell spending a lot of time guarding Melo as well. Also, when we played zone, does Clemmons get credit for stopping Trimble then as well? I don't dislike Clemmons D, my point is that the strength of Iowa is their TEAM D. They switch a lot, they mix zone with man and they can move players around to find a good match up if someone on the other team is giving them problems.....and they do all those.

As for this matchup, another question is how would Heild do with Uthoff guarding him? My guess is Uthoff's size would cause him more trouble than anything. What I would be scared about is when we went zone and people losing track of where Heild is.

You make some solid points here. I think Woodbury deserves a lot credit as well. He's a very gifted big man at hedging high ball screens and pushing guards away, which causes issues for guys like melo and yogi. You're 100% right Thst it's our TEAM D that makes it work. And Woodbury is the captain of the defense.

So you are saying that Sapp is the, "Most Interesting Defender in the Game Today."
