110-106! That is a lot of scoring!

Ben Brust if fully aware of what he is getting into along with the rest of the recruits. They understand the challenge ahead of them and unlike a lot of you on this site see the "opportunity" to play in the Big 10 and help turnaround a storied program that is struggling.
Does Ben understand that in the "system" there will be no fast breaking and that uptempo ball is shunned?
I think I would say that fas breaks are shunned in Licks style of play. I don't believe that it is just the group he has now and that they can't run within his system. I believe his system does shun running.
Can you prove otherwise to us based upon how much they ran at Butler? If you can't, then what is your proof that he doesn't shun running in his system, regardless of who the players on the court are?
Thad Matta runs roughly the same offensive set. See Ohio State.
Totally agree.Yes. But he also recruits top 5 classes in the country as well. No offense at all to Iowa but they will never be in that position.
IMO Lickliter is like McDermott. People always said that ISU needed talent and depth and then McDermott would let them run. Well this year we have depth and an upgrade in talent and we still don't run on any team of decent talent. It's just not in their game plan
Totally agree.
But this sort of class that Iowa is bringing in with Brust, Larson, Marble, and McCabe is solid. It's one that Iowa can hang its hat on and one that can most definitely try to be more aggressive with the ball, as long as it's within the system.
Fast breaks aren't against the system, as long as they are a good shot. How often does Iowa get 2 on 1s or 3 on 2s? Not often.
Agree on the OSU argument, Matta owns the recruiting trails.
Are you saying that Iowa's offense is the same as OSU's? Are you saying that the goal of the offense in terms of how they try to work the perimeter with four guys outside and one inside to get an outside shot and for three years have really never looked for the guy in the middle is the same offense as OSU's? The Iowa team that does not crash the offensive boards but instead typically drops four guys back to prevent the fast break is the same as OSU's?
In 2007, 2008 and 2009 they averaged 11.36, 13.35 and 13.3 TOs. In Lick's style of play would he ever have that many TOs if he had it up and going the way he wants? I ask this because I believe OSU has that aspect of their program where they want it. I don't believe they feel they are turning the ball over too often and I don't think their coach would be saying they are. I do believe if we have our program going the way we want it to go that if we had 13.3 TOs that our coach would be saying that was too many.
For the above reasons I am asking if we run the same offense that OSU does. I am not really sure, because I don't watch OSU very much, but I didn't think that we ran the same offense as them. I could be wrong, and I am legitimately asking the question. I am not being sarcastic here.
My somewhat uneducated opinion is that saying we run the same offense as OSU is similar to saying we run the same offense as Wisconsin, which I have heard some say (not you stormin).
It is shocking how quickly an update on one of our recruits for next years turns into a bash Lickliter thread. Yeah, I am sure Lick has every intention of bringing Brust into the system so he can suck next year and beyond!!! Wow???
