They definitely stopping being agressive on D. They stopped the 3/4 press and started switching screens instead of trapping them like they usually do.
It was almost like they started practicing other things and went away from what got them the lead
I think some of the defensive changes by Iowa were a response to Nova going small most of the 2nd half. Nice switch by Jay Wright and Iowa struggled against their smaller lineup. Plus, Nova applied more defensive pressure in the half court with their smaller lineup. It happens. Hopefully, Fran has seen it now and will be able to adjust as well.
