Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

[HFCS]

For a team that always has a ton of long tall players Iowa really doesn't block many shots. 0 blocks giving up 100+ to Michigan today.

Garza really is a great player if it's half court offense. He was last year too.

Another thing in common is that they're both some ugly looking mother****ers.

Looks like we have a gameplan now! Let Garza get 50 at the rim, win by 10 or so.

Idk... seemed like a pretty solid strategy. Michigan made Iowa one dimensional and locked down the 3 point line and left space in the middle.

If Garza is the only option and has to play 35+ minutes and take 32 shots (32 SHOTS!) then Iowa is going to have to stay in that **** zone... which Michigan killed because Garza was too tired to defend the middle of the zone with much consistency.

Iowa never really got close enough to make them change the game plan even with Teske and Simpson in fouls trouble.

Iowa has a solid team and they will come out extremely fired up. Going to be tough to beat them, even in Hilton.

They just gave up over 100 points in a Big Ten game...

I watched the game tonight which was the first time this year. Garza gets 44 points and was in beast mode on offense but was a bit suspect on defense. McCaffrey with 12 and jorbo with 5. I was really dissapointed because I don't watch them often and hear of pops and son McCaffrey in full **** mode but they looked respectable tonight so I was dissapointed. Toussant is pretty scrappy to.

Looks like it could be a good game next Thursday.

At first I thought it wasn't the best strategy, but when Michigan stuck with it I came around with basically the same thoughts. He wasn't going to double his first half production (good ol' laws of average) and no one else could do anything.

If ISU shoots as well as Michigan and makes 10 3's at a 40% clip and plays defense as well as Michigan, they will win by 10+ . The good thing for Iowa is that ISU hasnt done either of those.

If ISU shoots 40% from 3 and makes 10+ they will win by double digits against Iowa.

ISU won't, but also won't need to do that to win. Most of those Michigan shots were wide open.

At first I thought Michigan's game plan was suspect by not doubling Garza on touches, but as others have said, I think the game went as Michigan planned.

Methinks it'll be a battle Thursday night.

 

[CyTwins]

Great job playing defense, guys.

Michigan's last game: 43 points
Michigan vs Iowa: 103 points

 

[Rural]

Michigan only forced 7 turnovers?

Did they sit in lawn chairs with umbrella drinks on that end of the floor?

 

[motorcy90]

so we played Michigan closer even with shots not falling???

also if what was on the broadcast of the last few NC winners coming out of the Battle for Atlantis I guess Michigan is it then..

 

[exCYtement]

Don't care for Jon Miller, but its a spot on analysis. Garza scoring 40 is exactly what Michigan wanted to happen. This should be the blueprint for a lot of teams to beat Iowa this year.

 

[Acylum]

I honestly don't like our chances Thursday.

 

[clone4good]

Iowa will win by a score of 86-75. You know they will hit threes on us, Garza will get his 20-25 points. I hate this game. We lose. Honestly we’d have to hit 10 threes to even have a chance against them (which won’t happen).

Ya. Wasn’t suggesting ISU could duplicate this. They will have to find some other way of exploiting Iowa’s D and limiting their looks from 3

They'll be the worst P5 team defensively we'll see by far this year and it's at home. Yeah it's their Super Bowl but they're not a good basketball team
