How Many Guys have their Season High in Points against the Hawks?

I used to dismiss the idea that everyone just got hot against Iowa but at some point you have to acknowledge a pattern.

Frans defensive philosophy, especially this year, is don't foul and we can outscore them as long as our main guys stay on the floor.

It allows opponents to get very comfortable and get in a rhythm that you rarely see in a college game.

The shots msu was making today down the stretch were nba level difficulty but its because they got into such a groove earlier.

Nothing like being forced to rely on our defense to tie the game.
 
I defy you to name someone who hasn't.

Yes, regularly giving up wide open shots early in game...always seems like it give opposing players a confidence lift and then it is off to the races. Not being physical on defense to avoid fouls, doubling in the post and giving up wide open 3pt shots, trapping and giving up wide open shots, full court press and giving up layups or wide open shots....everybody shoots well vs Iowa...that is why Iowa is last in conference in 2pt FG% defense and either 13th or 14th in 3pt defense after this game. Giving up 58.5% from the field at home and 54% from 3pt to Nebraska...those stats I I think you are loser 95% of the time. MIchigan State also drilled us, but that was the very rare game where you give up a 100 points in regulation and still win.
