After last nights game our starting 1-3 are:
JBo: 41-108 (37.96%)
Moss: 25-60 (41.67%)
Weiskamp: 28-69 (40.58%)
Combined: 94-237 (39.66%)
That’s elite level shooting out of a backcourt. Then you add Baer, and two centers who are at least a threat out there. Dailey has been struggling so it would be nice to see him get his shot back.
Again, I’m not advocating for jacking threes every possession, but it’s nice to have shooters surrounding our horses inside. On some nights our 3pt shooting is going to be the difference.

Last night, Iowa played outside in. Out of first 26 points, 24 were from 3 point range. So, Penn State extended the defense and Iowa pounded it inside to Garza and Kriener. Remember the 3 straight drives to the hoop by Ryan K. At least two were proceeded by a pump fake (because he hit a 3) and there was no help because PSU was worried about Iowa shooters. Here's two of his drives.
Then you factor in that Cook and Garza might be the best (or close to it) scoring 4/5 combo in the conference. I'm actually surprised our offense isnt ranked higher. Probably turnovers. Last year I thought our good offense was in large part due to how teams played us because we were terrible. This year we have a legit good offense.

Kenpom does have Iowa as the #11 ranked offense. Quit nitpicking
They just scored 89 points on the road with their leading scorer not playing. This team can fill it up. Playing with pace accentuates that.

Last I heard they were 17 I thought. 11 does sound better.

Yep, they posted a top 10 type of performance on offense again last night so that bumped them up a few more spots. I think they were ranked 14th before the game.

Moss: 5/6

Baer: 2/3
Wieskamp: 6/6
Moss: 5/6
Bohannon: 2/2
Baer: 2/3
Was the record at 16? If stupid Garza could make a 3 we could have had it again.

Garza did have a rare dunk today.
You know our passing is good if we can get Garza in position to dunk.

Iowa had 10 more made 3s last night, which was a huge reason we got the W.
Here are the %s:
-Moss 44.4%
-Weiskamp 44.4%
-Bohannon 39.5%
-Baer 36.1%
Kriener and Garza are both above 34% in limited attempts.

His attempts per game are down to 5.6 from 6.8 last year and 6.3 his freshman. His % is down slightly.
Depending on the number of games played I have him on pace to hit about 75, which is down from 96 last year and 89 his freshman year. With that said he’s been shooting much better in conference play so that could improve.

Mostly really positive but Moss putting up two goose eggs in a row is a slight cause for concern.
