It Feels Like We’re Nearing the End

Terrible offense last night.... Yet defense closed out the last 3 mins against WSU.

Both things were true for that Richmond game.... My gosh we have PTSD as Iowa fans when it comes to tournament CLUNKERS. That team felt like one that could make a run.

What about that stat line from the richmond game says Iowa played poorly on defense that day? Had Iowa shot even 30% from 3 that day they win.

I agree that team could have gone on a run however.

Try again. We shot 34%, 20% from 3 that game.

They only scored 67.

Tell me you didn’t want the game without actually telling me. Their point guard shredded our defense the entire night. Bohannon couldn’t do anything on him. Gilyard averaged under 5 pts a game in his career. He had 24 against Iowa. Doubled the baskets that our starting guards had in the game. More assists than both of our guards combined. Yes. Our defense lost us that game because we can’t guard and we didn’t have guards.

Tell me you haven't read my posts without actually telling me. At no point have I defended Bohannon's defense. You're weirdly ignoring how Iowa had one of it's worst shooting nights of the season - and Richmond wasn't an elite defense either. Had Iowa simply made 3 more shots that day, Iowa wins.
