I don't get not starting Sandfort, he's out of his slump, sat the last 5 minutes of first half. Dix hasn't seen the court for even longer. Fran's substitution stuborness at times can be really frustrating.
IMO, Sandfort should start. CMac is usually better off the bench.

Regardless, the problem has always been when Iowa can’t get stops and starts getting behind they start forcing stuff on offense. That’s when you see a lot of forced shots and dumb turnovers. This gets compounded by the fact Fran refuses to call timeouts.

I also think your seeing the talent gap being exposed. If Iowa isn’t lighting it up from 3, they’re pretty easy to beat for any decent team with athleticism.
 
I’m not as worried about his weight as I am his foot speed.
Garza wasn't quick afoot when he arrived on campus. Or, when he left campus for that matter.
The kid needs a lot of work. It's unfair to compare anyone to Garza, I know that, but Mulvey needs to demonstrate more internal drive.
