Lander especially looks much improved on D. That’s a credit to CAM. Holding Iowa to 31 points in a half is no joke.... there really was no point in that half we weren't locked in on defense. They got a few easy looks in transition, but our half court defense was stout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that means Archie is coaching a horrible game or something. Remember the best player in the country did not play much for Iowa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCHoosier32 Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 pretty scary that Garza was out pretty much the entire game and we're up 2, but we should have confidence now and should see Leal, Lander, and Geronimo more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegrassIU Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 The thing with our freshmen, and sophomore Armaan, and Junior Race... Even with we roll with them and lose, I am ok. Because they play hard. They are easy to cheer for. As upperclassmen, our freshman and sophomores could be scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 Don’t cone out at the half with the sluggish veterans. I watched 25 years of Coach Knight. He could think through all the permutations and figure out the right combination that is working against that foe. Robotically bringing out the same starters, which was likely a mistake to begin with, is unimaginative and uninspired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether or not they can keep that up in the second half when he'll likely play all 20 minutes remains to be seen. I predict he'll break out and score like 20 in the half.

KoB2011 Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 We need to shot more threes. We shot the bulk of those 9 threes late in the half and not only did we make them, it opened up the floor. We don't have to shoot 40% (like we have been recently), but shooting mid 30s with 20-25 threes in a game would be a really good thing for our offense.

I know we aren’t great 3pt shooting team but we actually need to shoot more 3s....we attempt way way too few 3s. Not only is it worth more points but it will force the defense to close out harder and defend out further opening up more room around the basket. Look for some of those contested shots at the rim to be open shots If we continue to shoot from outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
