split Iowa has very little athleticism, even you have to admit that. they are a bunch of awkward looking white guys that play team D to stay in games. Their low scoring vs competent teams is a reflection of their lack of athleticism.
Baylor dominated that game solely due to having better athletes. It certainly was not due to coaching, as scott drew is a terrible coach.
Sigh... Drew is a good coach. Recently his talent has been overrated and people judge him based on assumptions of talent he does not have on his roster. He gets a couple 1 and done players but they usually aren't drafted on production but rather potential. These are good freshmen but so are non-departees. So yes he's getting "NBA talents" but when they aren't anywhere near producing at an NBA level it's not the best indicator of his coaching. The on-court production isn't that different than one of your better 3rd year players who isn't quite as touted a recruit but has developed.
Rewind a few years ago and he was considered a good coach back when it was the first couple of turnaround years. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle.
Baylor had some advantages over Iowa athletically but the truth was Drew outcoached Iowa. He put his players (who have shown significant flaws this year as a group) in a position to succeed and Iowa put theirs up against a brick wall. They didn't put our bigs out of their defensive comfort zone and it allowed them to alter shots and ultimately the game.
