Bohannon, Cook Lead Hawkeyes to Win Against UAB

That's the bad news. Bohannon lit it up and we shot great at the free throw line (I guess I never saw the final stat so maybe not great??) And we still had trouble putting away a bad team. It is all but impossible to beat an even average team when you give up as many uncontested shots at the rim as we have the last 3 games.
At this point we are better off conceding 3 point tries and packing the lane tight with a zone. Don't even do a fake closeout on the shooter like they do now. Just crash the boards.

Giving up 10+ offensive rebounds isn’t going to help either. Iowa has way too much length to be getting out rebounded by large margins.
There is a lot of standing around when shots go up.

Great games from both Iowa basketball teams today! That was fun I need a break before the volleyball game against Illinois tonight. That should be a good one too.

Interior D again is just atrocious. Teams just go into the post at will. I know that it's en vogue to just blame Jordan, cause it's an easy target and he's not great, but from watching these games, I am more disappointed with our bigs D and it's not even close.
I agree it's not close. Its amazing how often guys are wide open under the hoop and no one has a clue they're there. Then they over help when they don't need to and leave a guy wide open, or they don't help when they need to and let a guy get all the way to the hoop uncontested. Right now they can't do anything right. I'm really hoping it's from lack of effort.

That's another fundamental flaw in our post players. Stand around and watch the shot go up. Don't box out. Give up offensive rebounds.
