Haaland: Fighting narratives

Maybe opposing player's don't always have scoring highs against Iowa State, the Cyclones performing better on the road, and true resume strength.

So contrary to the classic saying it is offense that travels for this Iowa State team.

The numbers don’t lie. Shot selection is the big difference maker. Need more shots inside the paint and fewer 3-pointers.

I've felt like ever since Prohm has been here, we've been a better road team then under Hoiberg, but not as dominate at home. Home games are no longer a "sure thing", but I feel like we can beat anyone on the road too.

My guess as to shot selection- I think they take more threes at home (subconsciously) for the wow factor of pumping up the home crowd. I'm guessing the staff also presses home the need for better shot selection on the road too. I've thought all season that we need to stay at 20 or under on three attempts per game. I think that's our sweet spot. Enough that the defense has to spread out to guard you, thus opening up the driving lanes, but not so much that you turn into a bunch of jump shooters.
