The final stretch on the schedule this year looks pretty favorable IMO..... a decent shot at going 4-2 and finishing 21-9. Upset a ranked opponent (MSU or OSU) and the resume looks even better.
Great eye for talent and we score religiously.
The worst part is Iowa has shown stretches where it is more than capable of playing defense, and sometimes a smothering version of it. But then they just... don't. It's bewildering.
No kidding. It's infuriating because they're pretty decent when they make the effort.
I get frustrated with the defensive sometimes......but I kind of wonder how hard it is to be really good at both? I mostly just want them to score more points than the other team. No one is all that upset about the defense when we give up 87, but score 110. Of course when the shots aren't falling, you have to be able to crank it up.
Agreed, but it has seemed to be better recently.
Iowa needs 2 more wins and they have a 95% chance of dancing just looking at the short data we have on NET. It’s also very important we don’t get the doors blown off us at any point from here on out.
It doesn’t hurt us at all.
I don’t think that’s true. Tom Davis knew how to run the fast break and always had a rebounding advantage. I think faster paced teams do better when they rebound well and set up the secondary break. I think where you see Frans teams suffer is he won’t crash guards to offensive rebound, so they can get back on defense.
True. But most of the final four contenders are getting a lot of the top talent.
The team and coaches need to identify off shooting nights and go full force defensive energy wise.
