Yeah I don't think it was the switch to zone that made the game any worst. We were down 9 at half and lost by 20 I think. when you play man against NW you have to constantly worry about the back door cuts and switching on screens...it's hard on a defense to do that 30 secs on every possession...

The last one is Dean Oliver in 2001 unless you want to count Pierce as a pg...he wasn't really but he could break anyone down.

At the beginning of the game McCormick said he talked with Fran and Fran said the key to beating NW's zone is to throw crisp passes and attack.....Iowa's pg goes on to do the exact opposite consistently lobbing passes over the top and not once trying to penetrate and create. I love Fran and...

He's 6'5" 230lbs...he would have been playing defensive end by now if he had 3-4 yrs with doyle training for football.

+1 The only thing worst than Cartwright at this point is May. Please join the football team and redshirt next year so you can have one full year of playing LB or TE

What does BC do? He bounces around at the top of the key and then lofts the ball over a defender...everytime

Bryce Cartwright is so ineffective against NW's style it's ridiculous. Someone please tell Fran that Iowa looked best when Marble was at the point. Cartwright offers nothing against this 1-3-1. Marble can throw over the top because of his height.:confused: Cartwright can't shoot against the...

He is struggling for sure. Iowa went on their 9-2 run with him out and Marble running the point. May and Cartwright are going to struggle against a team like Northwestern where you have to be decisive and under control to be effective. I think Iowa can get away with Marble, Gatens, White...

wow PSu is a poor shooting team...Iowa is not good from the outside but PSU is terrible. Bound to be a lot of charging calls when they can't shoot and insist on driving to the lane. Kudos to McCabe for taking 3 chgs I think in the 1st half

I bet Philon, his family, his families friends, his coach, etc. all care somewhat.

I just think that if a guy like Horner or Haluska can't really come close to making a team then Gatens probably can't either. Haluska got a small sniff but not real shot at it. I think Korver is a much better shooter and he is a little bigger.

It hasn't happened. If you can provide an example I would be very very surprised. This kid at Alabama went to bed Tuesday night probably more excited than he has ever been in his life, because he thought he was signing a letter of intent the next day to play for his dream college team. He...

I wish some of these high school kids were a little smarter in their approach to being recruited and realize that guys like Saban overpromise all the time and they end up screwing 1-2 athletes out of their scholarships every year.

Re: Dbag Saban, again...u KF may be loyal to a fault but he doesn't flat out lie (that we know of) to an 18 yr old kid and his family in their living room. I think the best thing about Ferentz is that everyone knows where they stand with him. His players seem to respect him as a man of his...

Dumb post. If a recruit gets arrested they deserve to have their offer pulled.

Or maybe people just want to see improvement and effort jacka$$. Rebounding and defense is mostly effort and Iowa is performing horribly on both fronts. Indiana has like 16 offensive rebounds which is absolutely ridiculous. Cartwright has got to have like 8 to's right now with 6 mins left...

Cartwright has been horrendous in all aspects. Turnovers on offense, poor positioning on defense and absolute not trying to block out anyone on the defensive end. He is not the only one, but sticks out the most at this point. May was already hesitant before being benched...he is going to...

Gatens inability to make wide open 3's was a big reason for this loss. I love gatens as a player and a great Hawkeye, but he is relied upon to be their one good outside shooter and he missed 3-4 wide open 3's. Cartwright is a turnover machine this year...not only did he have some bad...

Iowa lead the entire game until about the 4:30 mark in the 2nd half. Gatens has got to make wide open 3's. He had at least 3 that were absolutely wide open. Richardson averages 6 ppg but had like 23 because no one would find him on def. That is absolutely ridiculous. McCabe had another...

White is mature beyond his years and plays smart. He will get stronger and become an even better outside shooter. I don't know that he runs up and down the court as well as Bowen but he has all the intangibles to be a role player at the next level if he continues to evolve.
