I’m sick of talking about you know what and want to talk about the undefeated Iowa Hawkeyes. A few things I think are key for an Iowa W tonight.
1. Get this game in the 70s
Wisconsin is very comfortable playing in the 50s and 60s, and quite frankly they are better than Iowa in that style of play (defense / limiting turnovers). Iowa however has more offensive firepower that Wisconsin may not be able to keep pace with.
2. I don’t worry so much about Happ. Don’t let Trice get going.
Happ will likely get his. Hopefully Garza, Cook, and Kriener make him work for it, but outside of him the badgers don’t have a ton of scoring threats. Trice is the only other guy averaging double figures and he’s done the majority of his work from the 3pt line where he is shooting 60%, averaging over 3 made 3s per game. Iowa needs to run him off the 3pt line in man or zone. Moss will most likely start on him and maybe Dailey will give him a look as well and then we need to find him in zone. They like to run ball screens with him and Happ so we have to be prepared for that how ever Fran chooses to defend it.
3. 3pt Shooting
Wisconsin is actually shooting 43.8% from 3 on the year (primarily Trice). That number is bound to fall a bit so hopefully tonight is the night. I actually think Iowa is the better 3pt shooting team, but in a limited possession type game the 3pt shot becomes an even bigger factor. We need JBo (he’s due for an explosion), Weiskamp, Moss, Dailey, Baer, and Garza to knock down some 3s tonight. It could be the difference as I don’t think we will get to the free throw line as much as we have been.
