[QUOTE="RockfordIllini, post: 1856941, member: 8716"] Defensively I think we are a lot better now than when we played Mizzou. Mizzou we were still in switch everything mode and we had a lot of busted switches which led to a lot of open looks. We were also turning the ball over like crazy which led to a crazy number (think it was over 30?) of transition points. We’ve cleaned all that up and have done a pretty good job of contesting 3’s and limiting attempts overall. Even last night, a lot of the 3’s Nebraska hit in the first half were contested. And beyond 3’s, Hawkins gave the other Murray problems last year, and Dain should give Rebraca problems. We will get Iowa’s best shot and it is a tough place to win and I think we will probably need to play our best, most complete game so far this year in order to do so. But I actually think we match up with Iowa okay and if we can keep them off the 3 pt line and force Murray and Rebraca to try and beat us with tough 2’s, we’ve got a shot. [/QUOTE]
