Hoosierhoopster Posted January 21, 2021 Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 We are underdogs and should be in this game. That said, we've seen plenty of reason this season to think our team has a shot. The PU game was horrible. The Wiscy game, though ultimately a double OT game, was not, we really should have won that game (struggling not to mention the sh__ officials). The OT loss to Fla State, was not. Etc. The team that beat MD was solid. The team that fought through adversity to beat PSU was solid -- though PSU's guards shot 12-28 from the arc (7-12 in the 2nd half) IU pulled it out. It's going to come down to how we defend the 3, and how/whether we diversify our offense, imo. We can score, when we diversify, and defending the 3 has become the achilles heel, but after PU's absolutely ridiculous number and percentage of 3's, we absolutely should see adjustments, I'm looking forward to seeing what adjustments CAM/the team make.

Let's pump the brakes on Iowa being the gold standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defense is still important come March, and they don’t play a bit of it. I look for teams with dynamic guards that can break down a defense and get to and finish at the rim. It just make everything so much easier for shooters...for bigs around the rim to drop off to. Show me the teams with a good core of players that have 1 or 2 guards that are electric off the dribble in getting past their defender and I’d put money on them. It’s always a crap shoot because college kids are young and can have a dud in a single elimination tournament but show me a list of the best guards in the country and I’ll pick my winner from them. One thing Iowa doesn’t have is a dynamic playmaker at guard to get open shots for people. Maybe an elite center that requires double teams would do the trick but give me Gonzaga’s Suggs, Baylor’s Jared Butler, Villanovas Gillespie, Alabama’s shakelford/Petty/Primo combo...teams like that. Of course you need defense but that team that can destroy your defensive game plan will be the last ones standing imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indykev Posted January 21, 2021 Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 I think we shock them and play zone. Stand 3 guys at the 3 point line and let the other 2 guard the rest of the court... NO 3'S all night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't know There's a little known adjunct to the pack line called the "clothes line", but you can use it only very rarely and when the refs aren't paying attention.
