Whats the plan? How do we pull off the upset?

[Ian Pike Hammer]

Gonna keep mine simple this time. I say, if we make 10 or 11 three's, we win. If not...

Play defense and rebound..

This is where I'm at. They're gonna want to punch us in the mouth on defense. We really need to punch back.

 

[ssckelley]

jack up a bunch of 3's

Also agree with Deace when he said officiating will be a key component. If UC guards are allowed to clutch, grab, and arm bar us on the perimeter like they allowed all throughout the B1G season, we are in trouble.

 

[TJHawkeye]

Iowa lives and dies by the 3 and if we shoot like the last few games, it will be ugly. If JBo, Joe and Baer are hot, easy win.

 

[DDThompson]

Pretty much the same as any other game—

Shoot the 3 well

Energy on defense

Limit turnovers

Play zone


Fran can only control one of those.

Unfortunately it might be the 1A in importantance and shoot the three is 1B

 

[Healzya]

Connor gets into a shoving match early and the team plays pissed off. We win.

 

[SteveGarvey1]

Cumberland sprains his ankle and has to leave the game. Not that I'm hoping anyone gets hurt.

We'll win as long as we score 14 more points than they do.

 

[TritonHawkeye]

The primary plan should be to score 1 more point than the Bearcats.

 

[mopkins]

Make 3s, box out.

 

[hoxrock]

Iowa likes to get out in transition and when it plays in half court it likes to get good spacing. Code for: Finesse. We are not built to be all that physical and if this game gets that way (typically does with Cincinnati) expect a similar result to the Michigan State games. If we don't make 9 or more 3's we have no chance.

 

[DDThompson]

Refereeing.

NCAA typically likes thetournament game to flow.

The Hawks haven't tried this yet. Who knows, it might work

Although, I think it would be more of a "pull down" the upset.

 

[ssckelley]

Here is a sure fire way to win on Friday, just tell Fran he gets another $400K raise if he wins.

 

[hawkeyewx]

Make shots and at least pretend to play defense.

Play like we did the first 15 games or so.. Inside out. Draw fouls get them in foul trouble. And hit our open 3s that come off of doing that. We gotta get to 80 pts I think. Our D isn't good enough to be in a low scoring affair. First team to 75 I think wins.

 

[WindsorHawk]

Outscore them by at least 1.

 

[SteveGarvey1]

Outscore them by at least 1.

Keep it close, J Bo makes a last second shot.
