Graham Couch: Iowa Basketball is a mid-major roster
- Thread starter CyTwins
- Start date
I would watch points in transition and rebounds for an indicator in this game.
Score before they can set the zone up
You can rebound well against a zone, especially with a quick, active team like ours.
Mmm, nice try.
More experienced team, at home. 18th ranked team in the country. NBA draft first rounder. Only 2 losses in the toughest bball league in America. You have a solid young freshman starter out while we are still dealing with loss of 2 starters, one of them an all american.
Iowa will and should be favored by 3-4 points, maybe more. Should be a good game with Iowa's depth and experience probably being the difference.
Just don't like catching a hoks team that has it's back against the wall at home.

Look for Prohm to lean on veterans Babb, Shayok, & Jacobson. THT & Tyrese certainly don't play like freshmen. My concern is falling behind and abandoning ball distribution. Shayok & Tucker are great at answering runs, but I don't want to see them playing too much hero ball. That has plagued us in past trips to Carver. I hope Lard is ready, because we'll need him if Garza starts to heat up inside. The haks best chance is slowing the game down and turning it into a slug fest; making a living at the charity stripe. I'd love to see Haliburton chasing Jorbo around because I think his length could really shut him down. I don't want that ass clown getting a bunch of easy looks.
Except that never works refs are always going to even it up as much as they can unless you’re team is Duke.
Well he’s too much of a liability to bring the ball up and he’s so easy to cover up that when he does get the ball he’s jacking up 25 footers.
Have you seen Iowa play since the NY tourney? Plus, Wiescamp probably will be out or severely limited on Thursday.
Typical rivalry game. Someone unexpected will make some key plays to seal the win late. Coin flip for which team wins.
Where are you seeing that? Also how do you not know how to spell his name?
Kriener probably. Tall ball is the new fad in college basketball and he's really good
Against us? They'll be fire. Book it.
Well yeah. A lot of these guys are Iowa kids that would have loved an offer from Iowa State so they'll be licking their chops to play us
You're shooting 31% from 3 through 8 games. I think it's fair to say you're a bad 3 point shooting team. ISU isn't a good 3 point shooting team IMO and that's based on the sample size
