Iowa tears just taste better
So good to see the guys take care of things at the charity stripe. Definitely secured the game, and stopped some runs on the other side. And Kofi looks great at the line.24/28 FT. There it is.
You got that right.It's nice to have some guys who can make free throws. This game could have had a miserable ending without some clutch free throws.
No team should ever press BECAUSE it should be easy to beat and it should result in a layup every time. Inbound - draw the double team or push the ball down the court quickly - when they double team someone is open - you should have two guys breaking to the ball - identify and make the pass and it's fast break time. Take the layup - draw the foul. if they press you wanna run and you want to draw fouls. If you press you want to sew confusion and tie up the ball handler FAST in a quick double team. The press SHOULD only be useful every once in a while when they don't expect it. You shouldn't be able to press on every inbound. IMHO of course.It was frustrating against the press, but some of the comments in game thread were funny. Did Illini have too many TOs against it? Yes. But there is a reason that teams press. If it was as easy to break at the major college level as some make out, no team would ever press.
True but thems the cards we've been dealt. Still have to find a way.Not easy when you’re as short-handed at Guard as we are.
Yes, about the turnovers, but not all were correct. There were 2 8 second calls.The good: 24-28 free throws, 52 rebounds, 44% from 3.
The bad: turnovers, turnovers, turnovers
I get where you're coming from, but let's be honest, AC is gonna also have his fair share of TO's. And I'm ok with that. But we cannot continue to make careless cross court passes, dribble into three defenders, and commit multiple ten second violations (of which we made two in a two straight possessions tonight) at the other positions on the floor. AC is not gonna cure all of those mistakes. It is possible to be very happy with the win - while remaining a huge fan of the team - but also desire improvement in areas that have been exposed as weaknesses.Didn’t see the game. Seems we beat Iowa, at Iowa, without our point guard, and we’re complaining about turnovers??? Good job, guys!
Hard to believe two 10 second calls in a rowThe good: 24-28 free throws, 52 rebounds, 44% from 3.
The bad: turnovers, turnovers, turnovers
Yeah, I get what you’re saying too, but it’s also ok to say right after a hard-fought win, “Great job, guys!” And just stop at that. But let’s not argue, my fellow fan. WE JUST BEAT IOWA AT IOWA! I-L-LI get where you're coming from, but let's be honest, AC is gonna also have his fair share of TO's. And I'm ok with that.

he knew we were gonna play just bad enough for them to think they had a chance but just good enough that they never truly did?I'm low key mad at BU after hearing he was laughing and enjoying a chat with Fran pre-game.
Agree, I as many have said exactly that. I-N-I. Peace!Yeah, I get what you’re saying too, but it’s also ok to say right after a hard-fought win, “Great job, guys!” And just stop at that. But let’s not argue, my fellow fan. WE JUST BEAT IOWA AT IOWA! I-L-L
