Iowa vs. UI game thread

Shot selection....

Our guards are getting blown by, and then no one steps up to help on D. Woodbury couldn't throw it in the ocean from a foot away. White needs to go up strong instead of taking those acrobatic reverse layups. We are lucky to not be down 20.

IU is lucky Iowa is not up by 8. Iowa played horrible!

This is going to be a long Big Ten season unless someone on the team learns how to shoot. The other teams are so big and athletic(Minny vs MSU was pretty much one team of athletic trees against another) Iowa is going to struggle to get good shots inside the 3-pt line.

We are lucky to not be down by 20 with how Marble and the team is shooting.

Terrible shooting.

Its more than that. Guys are running into each other, they just look lost at times. Luckily they are playing hard and it is relatively close.

Also, getting beat of the dribble breaks down any defense. They either have layups or easy dumpoffs for buckets. That is the main thing that needs to happen to play good defense - stop the ball. At the perimeter, they aren't doing that at all and it is killing us. No, Woody isn't stepping up like he should, but it's the first part of it that is not allowing us to stay in this game.

Fran knows what needs to change. Hopefully players can follow thru.

Carver needs to get loud.

Iowa is shooting the ball horrible and only down 8. Hopefully they knock down some shots and stop the ball on D.

 

[Hawkeye11en1]

Hawkeye 1000 and something, would love of discuss more, but have to go for awhile. Do try and look beyond the ball. It will help you a lot! You can do it!

Later troll.

Iowa is having trouble getting good movement when IU is playing man to man, which is what they were in most of the half. When they went zone, the Hawks were able to get it into the middle of the zone. IU plays tough man to man, Fran needs to make adjustments. Need better screens and back cuts. Iowa played so bad, to only be down 8 is pretty good. Will need a very solid second half.

We miss Gator

both of these teams look like they have hardly played in 2weeks.... bad time to have to play a good team

 

[rjhindm]

You singled out Woody. You didn't say anything about the rest of that the first time. Don't tell me to watch the whole play when you single out one person, and that one person is not making us look worse than Indiana. That would be a team effort doing that.

Woody 2 points 5 rebounds
Zeller 4 points 5 rebounds.

Good job by woody if you ask me.

Woody is the slowest on the court. Not hard to see. Sorry about truth. he's learning to play within himself which is good, but it is a matchup problem. On a zone or 1x1, you can't just guard your guy. You have to move.

 

[theboat]

Woodbury has 4 fouls to give. He needs to play bigger in the lane.

 

[MeanDrunkR2D2]

Woody moves like a gazelle in the African plains.... With 4 lions chewing on his kneecaps.

 

[ForeverHawk]

Very good point.

Unfortunately IU had a game a couple of days ago, so at least they had a tune up game.

Yeah, and in 1on1 you have to guard your man. Our guards aren't doing that. You blame Woody, and it's not hard to see he isn't the one to blame.
