I think he means Race Thompson rather than "Johnson." Maybe he looked at XJ's name and Race's numbers... And it's painfully apparent from the last sentence he hasn't seen us play 😮 XJ and Parker shoot 40% from three a piece. Technically he was right. 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to the point, Stewart is 5 for his last 25 (20%) over the last 7 games...Miller is 15 for his last 44 (34%)... So while they can shoot the 3, they haven't been as successful lately as their respective season averages indicate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MK is 40% his last 5 and 36% his last 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWB Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 I just watched the highlights provided. Boise State isn't in the same universe with us on their defense. I realize it's only 1 game, but jeez.... WY got a fair amt of points on feeding the post and having cutters come thru the lane. Only 2 guys shoot the 3 consistently, Mulanaldo being the main one. I think we'll shut down the cutters no problem. Not sure about the 3's. Race should be on Ike. Similar body and toughness and let TJD be 2nd off the floor, and get 6 blocks. I don't think they can defend X, or Rob, or Bates off the bounce. TJD should get 6-8 dunks in this game. Maybe more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I will play TJD 1 on 1 in the post happily against a guy that's the same size as him and just based on his block numbers, significantly less athletic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do sound like a mirror image of us to me... Here's the preseason prediction for them... The were picked 8th (finished 4th) in the MWC... I thought the preseason piece was telling because it says their 2nd year coach, Jeff Linder, is a big time metrics guy who loves the 3 and wanted to go 4 out and emphasize playing outside in... But apparently the lack of development or injuries to Deng Dut and Noah Reynolds, made them go to a more inside out approach... Ike (it's pronounced Ekay) is basically the same size as TJD, but has a 7'6 wingspan...he doesn't look particularly athletic, but he has decent post moves. Reminded me a little of Quadus Wahab of Maryland (who Trayce had marginal games against...17 points in the 1st meeting, but only 10 in the second)... Drake Jeffries looks to be the main outside threat...he had almost double the number of 3 point attempts of anyone else on the team, making them at a 42% clip... Not real deep with only 6 guys getting 20+ minutes per game, and they're one of the best 3 point defending teams in college basketball, holding opponents to 31%, good for 37th nationally... Posters on their board think if the refs let them play, it'll be to Wyoming's benefit. I don't know about that... I watched some highlights of their games, and the MWC doest look nearly as physical as the Big 10...I think loose officiating helps us tremendously... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ledies22 Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 I mean they did make the tournament without winning their tournament. They deserve a little respect. Seems like a good matchup for IU. Its March!!!! LFG! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If his names comes up in basketball conversation, the amount of vitriol is amazing. I have never heard one Iowa basketball fan have one good thing to say about him. They outright hate the man.

5fouls Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 So, while we should have been a 12 all along, Wyoming was supposed to be an 11. I'm not too upset on how it turned out considering we got St. Mary's as a 5. It's probably the 2nd best draw from the 5/6 line behind 6th seeded LSU. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My across the street neighbor when I lived in Chicagoland was the son of Marvin Sims Sr (the one that served as honorary captain re this article circa 2010)... He was very in touch with the athletic department for years, and knew and liked Steve. He found out I was coached in baseball by Steve's dad, Sam (who he also knew) and would tell me that before the Pierre Pierce incident, the only reason Iowa fans hated Alford was because they knew he was a Hoosier, and would drop them like a hot rock if IU came calling... After Pierre Pierce, it was just fuel on a fire (and, no, I prefer not to get into that debate)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
