Iowa offensive sets are really good. You can not like Fran but he can coach.
Why is illinois allergic to off ball screens? Aren't those the type of shots Davis thrives on? Obviously not an issue today because the high ball screen is working, but that's because Iowa is so unathletic.

as someone who attended the game vs Duke, I just wish I could have seen even one of the successful plays we’ve had tonight. I know Duke is a much more difficult team, but woof..we got nothing on Saturday.

This is how we should have been using Hum all year. Off the bench. Spot up 3s. If he gets hot, leave him in. He is just not a D1 starter. Doesn’t have the speed, stamina, defense, etc.

And Brad pretending he was starter material all year because we paid him to be is just plain stubbornness (also see: the sunk-cost fallacy).

Not playing the bench is not an option. You cannot win with a 6 man rotation. Remember tonight is IOWA
I'm not advocating for playing only 5 guys, just saying that the minute distribution tonight has been a marked improvement for us defensively. And Iowa is a very good team offensively, they just don't play defense or rebound.
