What I have seen in previous games is our helpside defenders are waaay out of position. So when we get beat, (yes it does happen) there is no one to stop the drive.
I will say, that in Iowa's last two games, this seems to be corrected. Man to man is much improved. Now, can they sustain that improvement or will they fall back into their bad habits?
Yes, it's better, with fewer lay-ups and uncontested dunks. We need to keep this up! The last cpl of gms, I've seen the lane occupied more and more by an Iowa defender. It's a lot to ask a slow-footed center positioned in the middle of the lane to run all the way out and defend a shooter out in 3 point land.
