Connor has absolutely been draped on Filipowski. Connor still complaining about getting called for a foul.

This Iowa team doesn’t shoot it very well but plays the same below average defense. Duke’s size is really bothering them around the rim too. Duke looks like I thought they would. Worlds of talent that hasn’t quite put it together yet. They are very beatable right now.

This is the second game I’ve seen Hunter getting the massage gun by a trainer. How soft does Texas want their players to be? NBA stars get pampered not 20 year olds that still need to prove their worth.
Texas athletes think they're professional athletes...expect to be paid like it too.

Iowa looks pretty small and unathletic in the front court. We need to do damage in the paint and not settle for 3s. Need to limit their transition points like we did with St. John's. Need to play tough defense but not pick up cheap fouls to give them easy points at the FT line. I am sure they will have a guy or two shoot out of their minds but if we can do the rest of what I posted I think we have a pretty good shot.

You guys sure Kris Murray plays for Iowa? Haven’t seen or heard of him the entire time I’ve been watching this game.

Duke neutralized him right away and he never got going. Hope we’re taking notes.

I love Iowa wearing their vaunted script jerserys only to have Duke wear some sexy AF calligraphy jerseys.

Hey look, Iowa is wilting to a physically dominant team! Shocked. Just shocked.

Time for Iowa to shine and pull this back from being a blowout while Duke steps off the gas. Got to maintain those metric rankings.
