I said we would go 2-0. I actually meant 1-1. Sorry about the mixup.

No worries, they are guaranteed to win at UCLA

USC shot 10 of 15 from 3, outrebounded Iowa 37 to 20, and had more assist. Yet, won by 10. Iowa won the 2nd half 57 to 50. USC is mostly Seniors and Juniors.

Iowa just couldn't get the lead under 5pts. Great effort, but USC was on fire from 3pt range to ice the game.

Their threes were bouncing off the back of the rim, bouncing a couple more times on the rim and
rolling or dropping in

Well, at least they didn't give up a hundred points! Ha!
Back to the same ol' same ol' Frannie D.

Nothing beats a moral victory

Hey guys! First time in a long time on here. So what gives on the defensive end? It is obviously a recurring theme under McCaffrey. I'm looking for some glimmer of hope on the defensive side because last night was pretty bad! The opponent shooting 66% and out-rebounding you by 17 is a good way to lose by 30. Not sure how it only ended up being a 10 point margin.

Trojans were rather athletic, and we weren't prepared for their style of play

We will learn from this game and adjust
