Which NBA team do the Cylclones remind you of?

[Jsievers24]

For me it's the Miami Heat.

1. Generally undersized with no dominant post presence
2. Run a fast paced spread offense
3. Tend to play to their competition, give up leads, and pull out wins in the 4th quarter
4. Hard to match up with because of their quickness and ability to hit outside shots
5. One of the top scoring teams in the NBA - we are at the top in NCAA
6. One of the top assisting teams in the NBA - we are at #1 in the NCAA
7. They are inconsistent because of their defense. Since they lack a large post presence their defense is dependent on their athletic ability and active hands that create turnovers. If their effort level is not 100% they give up a lot of points. However if they are at 100% they force a ton of turnovers which turns into transition points.
8. Pretty weak when it comes to rebounding
9. If they are hitting outside shots and their defense is clicking they are almost unstoppable
10. The Big Three score most of their points, our big 3 are Ejim, Kane, and Niang


Their main difference that I can see is their depth. The Heat are DEEP.

Anyway I follow the NBA and I know Fred watches the NBA more than the NCAA so I wonder if he gets some of his strategies from NBA teams.

NBA sucks.

Every NBA team is more like ISU than most NCAA teams because we seem to not give a crap that we have 11 extra seconds to burn on an archaically slow shot clock unless we're icing a win.

Even the slowest paced NBA teams work much more like ISU on the offensive end than most NCAA teams do.

Did you all know Hoiberg runs an NBA style offense?

You're thinking of Dave Rice at UNLV.

And Georges Niang played with Nerlens Noel.

And plays like the old guy at the YMCA.

And plays like the old guy at the YMCA.

He has perfected the spinneristic move.
Kane has the euro step.
Melvin has the dunkarama.

Heat, both have the Big 3. We also both own the other team in our state.

Miami Heat. Versatile forwards (Bosh and Lebron vs Niang and Ejim), a great driving guard(Kane vs Wade) combined with a solid supporting cast.
