Iowa/Iowa St.

They will play zone 80-90% of time.

My guess is that they will play their hack and hold and shove defense

Just going by how they've played so far....much more man than expected.

Was just asking who you match up man to man 2K style. Tough job for Fran to do in my opinion.

The problem Iowa has continuously had is that they can't guard in the half court.. They are really really bad at it. That's why they run junk zones and full court presses where they trap right when you cross half court. Anything to throw the offense off a little bit.

Attacking the basket should be there all night because Iowa doesn't have a soul on their team that can defend above the rim.

IMO that's why you have to keep Iowa off the free throw line. The full court "press" they use isn't overly effective but it sets up Iowa to defend for a much shorter amount of time in the half court.

I don't think they will get away with it in Hilton though.

Iowa will play their match up zone.. which is smart.. I would. Gonna need lots of penetration and good patience imo..

i would agree with this, but Prohm never does this. heck he runs the same out of bounds play everytime. we can barely guard the pick and roll, and if we tried to change up our D, we'd probably confuse our own team more than the opponent.

We may line up the same for inbounds plays but there are multiple options off the alignment depending on how the defense sets up.

Not to mention that inbounds plays are one of the easiest thing to defend in basketball. You know where the ball is and don’t have to look at it.

"no effort"? Really?

Yea really. Did you watch the games?

I just want to thank you for giving me an excuse to post that gif. It is on my list of gifs I post at every available opportunity.

Too early?? Nah, never too early

The gee golly hands on the hips and head bob by Woodbury really ties it all together.

I was at the last two games in Carver and I thought our energy and effort was poor both times compared to Iowa. Just saying.

 

[CyCloned]

I'm going to be really disappointed if ISU does not start the game in the press. Maybe it will work, maybe it won't, but feel like Iowa guards are not great ball handlers, but good shooters. If you can get them flustered it might lead to some easy baskets, which the Clones need.

 

[67CY]

Cannot see this enough. I wish they would play it on the video board before and during the game
