Iowa vs Nova for the title

[Foval21]

Problem is he dosent have a post up game or a good jump shot so the only advantage it gives iow a is rebounding.

White and Basabe just arent good on the floor together unless Mels at the 5.

I want to see Marble get allot of post touches on their small guards.

Fran could create some interesting spacing by playing Utoff and Mcabe together to bring their bigs out while Dev posts up.

You can have white at the 4, basabe at the 5, have Uthoff at the 3, marble at the 2, and gesell at 1. It wouldn't be the tallest lineup but it would give a lot of match up problems.

This isn't the school of the blind and amputees. This is a well respected university with a rich basketball tradition. I will take a win and be very happy.

I never said it wasn't. It certainly isn't Kansas, though.

One of our biggest advantages defensively and probably has much to do with leading the nation in Def FG % is having two big big men that protect the basket.

We lose that with this lineup with neither on the floor.

I'm happy to be in title game, but very disappointed to not be playing Kansas. I think they would have been a great litmus test for this team to show exactly where we are.

Villanova? Meh..................

I agree with you except for the "meh". Playing Nova isn't as exciting for a fan as playing Kansas. It would have been a good measurement for this team.

Very true...I wouldn't use this lineup for long stretches but it would be effective in spurts.

Nova is who we get. So let's take care of business. We can always play Kansas in the Final Four...

I don't think Mel is getting enough credit for last night. He was nailing the 15-17 footer.

This Kansas UTEP game has me feeling a lil more confident about our game.

Been a long day waiting for this one.... Thankfully a couple good football games to help kill some time.
