Biggest Area Of Improvement

For Iowa to just be competitive moving forward in the season, the turnovers have to cut down. People who want Cartwright handling the ball more, think again. Basabe has not had an assist yet this season and May isn't securing the ball well enough. Here are Iowa's leaders in turnovers:

May-14
Cartwright-10
Basabe-10
McCabe-7
Three tied-6

Overall Iowa has 43 assists to 66 turnovers

Iowa is also shooting 39% from 2-pt range, it must improve to the mid 40's with better shot selection and make the easy layups.

I would love to see our field goal percentage broken down in terms of shots in the paint. I'm guessing we're shooting worse from five feet and in than we are from 3-point range. A lot of putbacks clanging off the bottom of the rim. It's frustrating as hell to watch, but the good news is that you would think it would fixable if the coaches can just get the inside guys to slow down, get their feet underneath them, and take the ball up strong to the hoop. We shall see.

Yeah, I would love to see a shot chart from 5-ft and in compared to 3-pt...Iowa is shooting 41% from deep, I believe.
