nope, and he sure as hell wont get that many open looks again either
Most high major players can make shots when unguarded. This wasn’t some sort of flukey bad luck. This was piss poor defense.
Lack of defense had a lot to do with it but your point is well taken.
Why is anybody surprised when teams shoot out their ass against us... it's because they're wide open most of the time!
I'm not a bb guy by any means, love to watch Hawk bb, even I know with my limited knowledge you can't leave the hot shooters open over and over! Wth
It's not coincidence that so-so players have break out nights against Iowa.
Indeed. We are in about the same position we were in last year at this time — the worst defensive team in the league and by a pretty wide margin. The heck of it is that we don’t have freshmen to blame. I just don’t see a lot of room for growth here over the course of the season. We might improve a little but we are what we are defensively.

To win the B1G, you gotta play defense. You can’t rely on outscoring teams every night. The scouting/scheming is too good at this level, and so are the players. Some no name is frequently going to step up and hurt you if you don’t guard him because these are mostly top 200 players. They’re too good to let run wild.
Wisconsin is excellent. IU and Rutgers are very good. Illinois, Michigan, OSU and MSU all have a greater potential to improve than Iowa.

Right. This is a veteran-laden team with the basketball IQ of Forrest Gump.
Nunge and Connor McCaffery are left open at the 3pt line every game and neither guy has gone off so far this season.
I do think that the psychology of making your 1st 3pt shot provides positive feedback. What Iowa zone defense gives up a lot of open looks and it really isn't possible to put much extra pressure on the hot hand. I think 6'8 johnson made 3 corner 3's in OT with 6'3 Fredrick trying to get out on him and it was game over.
