[QUOTE="FiveStar, post: 1501967, member: 603998"] I was looking at their roster the other day. Lots of guys 6’3-6’5 and lots of guys 6’10 and up. Not a lot in what has been in their money range of 6’7-6’9 interchangeable athletes. I was kind of surprised by that. Obviously if those 6’10 plus guys can play like those 6’7 guys (particularly offensively) but be taller versions you make that trade all day. If they can’t and you gotta play more of those 6’5 guys the zone is smaller and less intimidating/effective. As for Iowa, they have shot the lights out vs us in recent years. I have not seen them this year, but if they still have the same level of shooters they might be licking their chops. But that 2-3 might be the best 2-3 in basketball history, particularly for how well they defend the high post AND cover 3s. Should be a great strength on strength matchup. [/QUOTE]
