The guy is big, physical and athletic.He has been money lately under the hoop. If Woody has trouble with him it could spell trouble for Iowa and open up the offense for Temple. If Woody has trouble with him I say Fran goes to a hack a Shaq D on him. He has to be one of thee worst FT shooters in college basketball.
Jaylen Bond could be key

I'm not worried about temple at all. Iowa is the better, more talented team. It comes down to Iowa's confidence, mental toughness, and just making shots. If Iowa has figured those things out, they beat temple by double digits and well beat Villanova behind them and beat either of Miami or Arizona coming in the sweet 16. Mark my words on that.
Unfortunately, that's a HUGE if. Our confidence has been sorely lacking for 6 weeks. Our mental toughness has been seriously lacking in that same period, and we simply haven't shot it well for most of those 6 weeks. If this is a close game Friday, temple will win. I don't like our guys to win a close game of any kind right now.
The biggest thing I wanna see, shoot the ball well and get off to a quick start, but I wanna see uthoff be aggressive and take it to the post early and often. I wanna see Jok facilitate and not play with tunnel vision whenever the ball touches hands. And I wanna see the other 3 take care of the ball and play with confidence. And I wanna see Uhl take fewer than 4 shots or find his butt parked on the bench. Wagner is better anyways.
