First time seeing Iowa.

They're decent and will have a chance to win this and will be a tough out.

I don't know what Creighton's doing letting it be a track meet.

Very similar philosophies as far as emphasis on offense.

I think the key to stopping Fran’s teams is stopping the initial and secondary break consistently and making them work the half court offense.

Iowa’s D certainly seems better/more pressure with their guards.

Iowa sure does keep their hands up on D around the arc.

We will HAVE to slow the game way down against Iowa and play our normal suffocating defense.

Creighton wants to run as much or more than Iowa, and neither of these teams plays a lick of defense. Great match up actually for Iowa. We’ll see if they can keep this pace and shooting up or not?

Two years ago the Cyclones went to Omaha with a new coach after coming off a 2-22 season and shocked Creighton 64-58. I hope this doesn't go the same way!

Mt. Frannie is going to erupt tonight at some point. I know that’s not going out on a limb there.
