The zone looked a lot more effective than playing Man-to-Man with 3 bigs.

The 1-3-1 with bohannon in post defense was interesting.

Very often you have a smaller player running the baseline on the 1-3-1.

I hope we see the zone more and more. It will be the only way we can defend four guard (or 5 guard lineups) lineups; we saw this same issue in the exhibition.

That being written, Grambling played excellent, patient offense and we played lazy, erratic defense.

Very few teams play 4 guards.

Iowa is going to have to play zone to be able to defend 2 guard lineups.

True enough. I meant teams playing four or five perimeter-oriented players—whether they are called forwards or guards.
 
1-3-1 Iowa played was a change-up out of a time-out I think. Only played it for one series to get Grambling St sideways for a few minutes.
