Which zone defense is better?

Iowa could end up with 20 points for the game. Bohannon 6-20 from 3 and Cook 2-10 from the line. Although VCU would probably turn Iowa over 25 times with their pressure. Pick your poison.

Rematch from 1980 with hopefully the same result!

I actually think Iowa would be better against a zone team. A really tough, in your face man team I think would be a bigger obstacle.

Good point.

I want to agree with this. However, it’s important to have a strong passing/shooting 3-4 from ~15 feet at the top of the paint to draw defense and distribute. I’m not sure we have that..would weiskamp/Garza fit? Definitely not cook.

Funny thing is we could have played Syracuse in November but they lost to UConn in NYC who we ended up destroying the next night. Which feels like ages ago.

Run a high-low post with Garza or Kreiner at the top and Cook down low or Garza down low and Kreiner at the top. Run lots of double screens for JBo, Weiskamp, and Moss. Do NOT dribble. Get back to the passing game that worked so well earlier in the season. That's IMHO, of course.
