*****Official IOWA vs. Oregon Game Thread*****

They aren't playing great defense either. Christ we put up 46 not 26. They shot the ball well and so did we. We had a bit of bad luck at the end of the half or we would be down 6. We also have a number of their players in foil trouble. This is a good team and if we lose we lose.
 
Zone defense results in 3 off rebounds, 2nd Chance points, and 3 3pointers and Iowa getting run out...

why, why, why go zone against a very good 3 point shooting team???

Coaching blunder
Is there anyone that has the rationale for this zone?
 
If Fran does not adjust with a mx of defense and offense in the lineup the hawks are toast, if J-bo cant get a shot off put in jot-t
to try and spark some d and transition buckets
 
CMAC---no offense
JBO and Fredrick smothered by the longer/quicker guards of Oregon---both useless today
Weezy...also being knocked off his game. If he thinks he is NBA material, he has to score and
defend better than this.

Garza may end up with 40 points and if Iowa gives up 100 pts, it is a loss

JoeT, Perkins, PMAC, Keegan are all playing reasonably well but none of them is a high level
3pt shooter or scorer.

Fran will roll out CMAC and same starting lineup. Looks like a loss.

Offense isn't the problem. They don't need to have a ton of shooters on the floor if Joe T is out there because he can facilitate layups as well as 3point shots. Iowa was scoring plenty even with Joe W at center with Joe T and Perkins driving or feeding Joe W down low. And they were getting enough stops to pull ahead by four before JBo and CJ were put back in the game for Joe T and Perkins were pulled. Gotta have Joe T playing most of the 2nd half if he plays like he did in the first. This is his kind of game just like it was against Gonzaga.

Come on Hawks...I can’t accept another one and done.
On a side note did Joe T get hurt?
 
Saw some of the jawwing. I get that lots of teams do it and we can at times and I’m old
Then I assume the original poster (was that you, I can't remember) would take offense to Joe T getting in that guys face after he hit that jumper, and yelling after the offensive rebound with the putback?
 
Definitely looks like the selection committee doesn't know what they are doing. Pac12 winner is a 7 seed...

As Spencer Lee says.... "No excuses"
 
JBo, CJF, CMac = 0 points
PMac, Joe T = 13 points.

And they’re better defensively and pushing the pace.
 
So we have a center that is dominating and Fran wants to try and run with them? How can that be a good strategy. Play half court, feed Garza and slow this game down. 56 points in a half is not the way to beat Oregon
 
Our man to man D is giving them a wide open lane to the iron... why the f*ck we're playing that is astonishing.
