your choice on defending Garza for big game
Exactly what Indiana did the other day. Not every time, just when he puts the ball on the floor and theres a guard in his blind spot.Combination of one on one and double team.....double team needs to come from Garza's blind side
I was thinking CH to harass the heck out of Garza ..and have Kofi post/guard middle and double Garza when he goes down low.I vote for sending Tonya Harding out there.
Agree, plus maybe in some rotations have Hawkins on him, when he rotates out to 3 pt range. We gotta keep Kofi in the game. If he is running out to 3pt range a lot he might get in foul trouble. We need him to make Garza work on defense too. This is a key. Agree with you too tiger, you stole my post, lol.Combination of one on one and double team.....double team needs to come from Garza's blind side
agree - indiana had success with this. Iowa went stone cold from the outside - no fgs in 10 mins. in the 2nd half. So this scrape down can work - but if they start getting hot we'll have to cover the outside and just take our chances 1 on 1.Combination of one on one and double team.....double team needs to come from Garza's blind side

Good point - once he gets the ball down low - he is pretty tough for them to defend. IU has an advantage over us covering him outside (ie Kofi struggles). they were letting IU get pretty physical with him. Kofi usually doesn't get the same leeway. Lets hope they call the chickenwing.I’d also say Indiana’s roster doesn’t give them much of a choice. They can’t 1v1 him in the post without him making it look like practice vs a walk on.
Kofi can give more 1v1 resistance than any big on their roster.
I agree that CH is going to be a good one.. and if he were to suddenly have a coming out party tonight, so to speak, he could cause some problems for Iowa and other B1G teams the rest of the season....but to expect that from a freshman with limited minutes, thus far, this season......well I would sure welcome it....and I'm expecting that type of performance from CH at some point and time...but probably not tonight. Would absolutely love to be wrongWe need that experienced 6'10" long, bouncy, wirey, pestery, annoying freaky athlete for Garza. I think you can get under his skin and cause him to do things that will get him in trouble. Give me the future Senior Hawkins tonight and he might be all of that (withstanding freaky athlete).
But can he do it the whole game inside and outside? I was there for that and every game the last 5 years. This one and the MSU upset a couple years ago were what I miss and can't wait to get that environment back!
That's why I asked for a time warp just for tonight to Senior CH!!!I agree that CH is going to be a good one.. and if he were to suddenly have a coming out party tonight, so to speak, he could cause some problems for Iowa and other B1G teams the rest of the season....but to expect that from a freshman with limited minutes, thus far, this season......well I would sure welcome it....and I'm expecting that type of performance from CH at some point and time...but probably not tonight.

Most of the posts so far have been focused on how to stop him when Iowa is on offense. I think that we need to make him work when Iowa is on defense. Drive the lane. Feed Kofi. Make him work hard on defense. Maybe get him in foul trouble.
