Iowa Basketball's Super Bowl
- Thread starter CyTwins
- Start date
Yeah, I am sure you were on here a year ago after that game saying “Don’t worry guys, this ISU team looks like a sure fire tourney team to me” lol
There was just more talent. I'm not even saying the clones don't make the tournament but I think a 6 seed would be a big stretch.
This year? Nah, I’d be surprised if we are better than 5-13 in the Big 12.

Super Bowl or not, Prohm has been out coached 3 out of the last 4, and arguably 4 of the last 5 versus Fran. Yes, read that again.
Just because you don’t like to hear it doesn’t make it false.

ISU stunk up the joint. Most of our guys aren't from Iowa and obviously didn't get up for it (no excuses they still should have). However, it's over and they'll bounce back. Better days ahead.
Don't think all the coaching in the world does much for you if you can't shoot your way out of a zone. The playbook on us is to pack it in and make us win by shooting.
There’s other ways to get teams out of zones, or at least attack them. Prohm mentioned it in the presser (high post touches specifically) that was their game plan, but for whatever reason they didn’t execute.
Iowa out hustled ISU last night. When you're a bad perimeter shooting team like we are this year, you've got to be the ones crashing the boards and diving, and we didn't.
I dont know how the rest of the year goes for either team but Iowa is better than most expected and ISU is doing this things we know we arent good at.

Yeah it was annoying watching the ball just go back and forth on the perimeter until a shot went up with little chance of success. I think making more shots cures a lot beyond obviously more points.
As said as nauseam this team is going to have to make shots a little different than what we’re used to. I think they’ll be some regression (more like progression in our case) to the mean. Problem is our data sample size is now big enough to know that mean isn’t very good to begin with.
Last night wasn't about want, and it wasn't about the X's and O's. It was about the Joe's on the floor. If you take the best 5 to put on the floor, 4 of them are hawks. Halliburton, Bohannon, Fredrick, Weiskamp, and Garza. Now that is a team that could win the Big12 or Big10
Haliburton
Wieskamp
Bolton
Garza
That's about it. Probably Conditt by the end of the year
If you take the top 8, sure I'd put Bolton and Conditt on it. Conditt would be a great backup to Garza. Right now though you and I both know that Bohannon and CJ would be in the starting 5 along with Halliburton and Joe. That would be an elite team, the inside out with Garza working the middle would be sick. Halliburton could get to the rim at will, Joe could also get to the rim, and then you'd have Bohannon and CJ from the outside knocking down shots.
Bohannon isn't good. Him shutting it down won't hurt you guys IMO. Nixon is probably better than Frederick just because of his defense. Bolton is much better than both
