I’ll take Iowa vs Gonzaga Iowa, please. If they shoot like that only a handful of teams can beat them. Iowa’s already poor defense was straight up no match for that explosive of an offense.
So you're hoping they're going to magically spring back to beginning of the season form?

It wasn’t “beginning of the season form”. They were just really hot on offense that game. The UNC game when they were hot wasn’t even that great of a win, they suck. All I’m saying is that if Iowa catches fire from 3 during the tourney, a deep(ish) run could be made (Sweet 16 or Elite 8 imo).

If Iowa gets hot in the tournament they could make a run. That's not a hot take either, because realistically any team could make a run in the tourney if they shoot lights out. However, if Iowa ends up getting a 4/5 seed on the same side as Baylor or Gonzaga, I doubt Iowa beats either of those teams in the Sweet 16 no matter how well they shoot.

Or if cold, not make the second weekend

Even with this year being down in college basketball, the best Hoks can hope for is sweet 16. Round of 32 is most likely.

Completely agree. Need to be a 3 seed, or if they’re a four, on the same side as Villanova. Think they get ran out of the gym by those two you mentioned.

Maybe you can get coach Fran to teach them how to "run mean". I don't really know how to describe how Garza runs the court but he looks weird when he does. More like a horse gallop or someone who's feet are starting drying in concrete and trying to get out.

I've always thought it looks like he is running on hot coals and is trying to avoid stepping down any longer than possible.

No way he's way to plodding and flat footed for the bed of coals. Its more like he has weights on his shoes. Somehow he beats much faster men down the floor consistently though. If he doesn't beat you down hes going to body you right in the chest and figuratively say "get off my block"
