I guess Iowa's collapse will start in March this year...

So you're comparing two teams with elite athleticism and length to a team that starts Jordan Bohannon and Luka Garza. Lol

Those are the two I know. List the other primarily zone teams in the P5 and I'll let you know my opinion.

 

[iahawks]

Hey. There's the oft-mentioned Wade Lookingbill and Acie "Bad Hair" Earl.

I was going to ask if Jess Settles was on that team but I think it's probably safe to just assume he was.

Goes to show you that with Iowa being an 8 seed that year, how much better college basketball was back then. These teams today couldn't touch those teams back then.

I don't know any team with Iowa's athleticism that has had any success playing zone in the tourney. There's a reason Iowa's defense is awful

I'm not sure that proves what you think it proves.

 

[cycloner29]

How do they average 82 points a game then?

Isn't it obvious? When you are the 180th rated in defense efficiency (where's Benji?), you probably are counting on your offensive to make up for it. But wait... didn't we hear that from you guys in football last year about how the Big 12 has no defense? How ironic how the tables are turned in basketball.

We all know Cook can't hit water outside of 2' (probably his only asset worth noting to get to the NBA) and if the outside shot isn't working (MSU ring a bell?) get the fork out cause the hawks are done!

No one defends Iowa's lack of defense.

Oh Chad

Chad was right...just the wrong award. National player of the week is what he got from NBC

No one defends on Iowa's defense.

True and helped you out here.

I have to wonder why NBC even spends a dime on writing about college basketball. To me it makes zero sense.

Of course. Anything that goes against ISU or for a team you dislike is garbage. Every site should be shut down that talks good about iowa and says anything bad about the clones

Did you graduate in 2007 or were you born in 2007? You sound like you're 12 most of the time.

 

[CyTwins]

Still 16 in NET, 15 in Kenpom, and 14 in BPI. In other words Iowa State is in good shape.

To you replied:

You keep telling your self that

Which is a long ways from this;

I cheer for ISU when not playing Iowa or UNI.

And you wonder why you keep getting banned. Well that and you're completely uneducated about the sport of basketball

Phenomenal movie.

Yeah. I am very uneducated. I only worked it for 2 years at the d1 level and also have a degree in sports and played college athletics but yeah im uneducated in it

 

[CyTwins]

Yeah. I am very uneducated.

We know. It's sad really and I hope things get better for you. I truly mean that. Even if you are an uneducated troll I still root for fellow Iowans

 

[JP4CY]

WTF is a degree in sports?

 

[Mick Mars]

Disagree. Zone teams have a pretty dang good history in the tourney, Syracuse probably being the best at having a totally mediocre regular season then the zone confusing teams in the tourney.

I don't think they go that far, because I don't think they are a good enough road team and I still think the guard court is a problem for them. But it won't be because of the zone, and it won't be because of a mismatch issue, they don't have it now and are still great on offense.

Syracuse recruits length and athleticism knowing they where and how they will use them in their zone. Frankie resorts to zone about 8:00 into the game when he quickly recognizes his guys can’t guard in their M/M.

 

[JP4CY]

He worked for UNI as an intern, was in charge of getting people to come to basketball games and he couldn't even do that when they were good so he didn't even get offered to stay on is what someone personal messaged me about him

He was Jake's Flava Flav?
