I love this kind of thinking. You need to pad your metrics when you can grasshopper.
Iowa will be fine if they stay healthy and play like this
- Thread starter Chishawk1425
- Start date
A long season of being dominated on the glass. Better hope Iowa shoots the lights out every night
I don’t need them to dominate. 330(which Iowa is) out of 355 teams in rebounding margin in NCAA division 1, isn’t gonna cut it.
A Power 6 team with a coach who’s been around as long as Fran should never have a roster that’s as bad rebounding the ball as we are.
In order for Iowa to rebound adequately Traore needs to see the majority of the minutes at the 4.
Also wouldn't be a terrible idea to play two bigs occasionally since Owen is showing a bit of an outside shot.
Either way, too much Sandfort = not enough rebounding.

I'm a Cubs Fan. Iowa basketball is the same. You can run stats that say they should be better, yet you never figure out why they aren't. They are an anomaly.
Will likely be around the bubble all year.
I don't understand Freeman's defense. Sometimes he looks very competent and other times completely lost in the exact same situations.
If he defends screens the way he did the first 5 minutes, Iowa will make the tournament. If he's completely unaware of whats happening around him, like he was the majority of the rest of the game, it's bubble at best.

His fourth foul was maddening.
I also don't get why he reaches when he finds himself top of the key on the ball
That was as much on Pryce for getting blown by off the dribble but , yeah another dumb decision by Owen.
It's like as soon as he gets tired he starts doing dumb shit.
If Fran wants to protect Freeman he should really stop playing the Sandforts together too.
