OK - How Does Iowa Spank the Ranked Transfer U?

[LASBUR]

We better find a couple guys who can hit 5-6 threes and we better play D the whole game or we could have a long night. These guys are good when they are on

 

[RealistaHawk]

Transfer U has been getting a lot of production out of Bryce (UNLV/ISU) DeJean. Does Iowa have a player that can neutralize DeJean? Morris, an actual ISU recruit, presents another challenge. Iowa does appear to have big guys that can match up with the Cys big guys. Iowa's weakness is perimeter shooting, 3 for 20 last night against Alcorn. Does Iowa defense the perimeter to force ISU to take shots in the lane? Should Iowa on offense just give up the three point shot attempts and strictly take shots from mid-range on in. Uhtoff, Oleseni, Woodberry and Uhl are better options from 15 feet than any of Iowa's guard from 21 or 18 feet.

You take your hand, open it wide and hit their.... Well you know!

Hoping for the best but will not shock me if ISU wins by 10-15 and it is over by half. Hoping they have a cold shooting night.

It's going to be a good game that comes down to the little things in the last couple of minutes. Whomever makes the big shot, grabs the big rebounds, and knocks down their free throws will likely win it.

I think people are trying to dissect this game as much as possible, and in reality it's just about executing the game plan for each team. ISU won't be able to consistently stop Iowa down low because of their length advantage. Iowa won't be able to consistently shut down ISU's ability to knock down the 3ball.

Personally, I give the edge to ISU because they have executed down the stretch better than Iowa has in recent history. Iowa was able to grind out a nice win against UNC at the end of the game so that gives me hope, but they need to keep doing it in order to prove to me that they've turned the corner.

Spot on analysis but I give the edge to Iowa. Tough to win at Carver, and White seems to have career days against ISU.

I get the whole Transfer U thing, but A) It's worked quite well, and B) 4 of ISU's top 6 guys in minutes and production are recruits out of highschool.

Who cares, the hawks don't use transfers or the junior college route.

Uthoff, Ukah, or any convicted felons.

I wish Fran would do more TransferU... get tired of ESPN making it sound like Hoiberg walks on water.

Focus on playing very solid perimeter defense. Make them take shots out of rhythm with pressure and ISU will fold like a cheap tent. But beware, they can score it in the post now with Niang, so our bigs like Gabe and Woody need to have their head in the game on D as well. And if there was a game for Gessell, Jok, JO and Uhtoff to all shoot 40-45% from 3, this would be it.

Ok - Here how Iowa gotta spank Transfer University by going to Stormin' Spanks' house and drink all his rare beers and come to the game all loosy and all tingly warmed . All of them Hawks will body slam each baskets and shoot free throws and 3's making all of them , by the time the games over. They all has to be carried off the floor because they passed out. Schereff will forgive them on National T.V.
University of Iowa gives Stormin' Spanks free tickets to the game for life.

 

[atomicblue224]

We need to fiqure how to get under Freddie Holybury's skins or make him go crazy or maybe make him slam his own chair and breaking it! That He be ejected from the game

 

[WinOneThisCentury]

I think Texas is a better team and it wasn't over at halftime in that game. I'm pretty sure they will play the second half regardless if ISU makes a few threes in the first. Hopefully, length works.

I love the lineup Fran played for awhile the other night...Gesell, White, Uthoff, Uhl and Olesani. That was a long lineup and all those guys can move their feet.

 

[docholihawk]

Stopping the clowns in the game will be easier than stopping the excuses from cyfan. They've already started making them. If we play good perimeter defense and Woody and Gabe stay out foul trouble protecting the paint it will be Iowa's game to lose. That's not taking into consideration which ISU boosters have been in contact with the refs.

 

[HawgEyeState]

Run the picket fence for Josh.

Oh my, Hayden.........thanks for the humor, today.
Yeah, kind of reminds you of Jerry West........that kind of a pure
shooter,.......

Hawkeye fans can help by making A LOT of noise.
IOWA by 7-10

 

[WindsorHawk]

Wait for one of their best "transfer" players to get arrested...

I'm kidding Stormin!

Any truth to rumors DJK was up chillin' in Ames last night?

 

[weis4heis]

Call a certain Ames policeman who happens to be a Hawk fan to pin BDJ with a bogus charge.

 

[Seth53]

Tickets in hand. I'm very much planning on losing my voice as I did vs Wisky in FB.

 

[BryceC]

To reverse this now since the BDJ suspension, I think the one difference and chance ISU has is if Niang is hitting from 3. Niang is a very streaky shooter out there. He has games where he shoots very well and games where he shoots extremely poorly. if he goes 4-17 and 1-10 from 3 ISU has absolutely no chance. If he's hitting 50% from three that may make Iowa defend in a way they don't want to.
