Why has our shooting % gone down...

[Ian Pike Hammer]

the last several games? Last minute heroics have made it somewhat respectable, but overall, our shooting has been bad lately! What's up?

Fewer balls have gone through the metal ring and cotton net.

Wiescamp and Moss have been hot and cold. And they're two of our most important offensive threats.

Teams are going through the league for the second time. Defenses are catching up. When we play Nebraska in Lincoln I guarantee you we won't score 93 again. If we play Illinois in the BTT we won't score 94. We won't score 87 if we see Minnesota.

Saw just a little of Indiana and Purdue Game and it was UGLY. Carson Edwards was something like 2 - 22. It ain't just a Hawkeye thing...

We had a lot of wide open looks against Indiana and Maryland too and still couldn't hit. It's not like we've been forcing up a bunch of contested shots.

Tired legs, defenses forcing late shot clock shots that are not the best shots, players taking shots that are not their shot. Hey you know players that cant hit an elbow jumper but take them???? It happens to all teams.

Coaches need to get the players taking the player's best shots etc. Weiskamp has the corner jumper down pretty well.

Driving to the hoop for layups and dishes and dunks helps the percentage also.

Teams are pressuring the outside and daring Garza to shoot.

Teams have experienced Iowa as a good outside shooting team, readjusting to limit the damage. Plus, shooting is a hot and cold "art." Rebound/box out/limit turnovers/help out on defense are the areas where you can be more stable in performance.
