While I could see Edozie coming off the bench, especially in the first half if there is foul trouble, Fred has shown the penchant of late to going smaller rather than bigger when there is foul trouble with the bigs. Thus brining Naz Long, Monte Morris or SDW into the game before going big. But...

I think you correctly point out that match-ups are key. I will be surprised if Uthoff becomes the primary on Niang, as he has abused oposing bigs that don't have the girth to bang or at least have exceptional length. His outside shooting hasn't proven to be as consistent as last year, so your...

My three keys to the game are: 1) Rebounding, especially offensive - Can ISU bigs keep Iowa bigs from abusing them on the offensive glass? Iowa has made up for cold shooting at times via multiple looks. 2) Limited early fouling - The tighter the game is called, the better for Iowa with more...

What are the relative style differences between the three? I obviously have seen none of them play, nor watched film.

Thanks for the reasoned response jumper.

Why do the strength of the position coaches never seem to get credit for the kids getting to the pros? I get that Kirk has an excellent pedigree as an NFL O-line coach and pro connections, but he doesn't coach the position at Iowa. Iowa has had some excellent O-line coaches but I seldom hear...

LMAO! Well played!

From what I have read, I believe JU sees himself as more of a 3 than a 4 and that may have been part of the rub at Wisconsin.

Here is a list I found of the top shooters: 2011-12 NCAA Division I College Basketball Player Statistics - ESPN

On what do you base that? ISU had more running plays (538) versus passing plays (484), and more rushing TDs (20) than passing (17). Iowa State - Cumulative Season Statistics If the rushing plays include sacks, it is still 50%+ rushing. I understand that ISU running a version of the spread may...

Actually, Ferentz has a losing record against Iowa State, not a 3 to 1 win ratio.
