Well, just to add confusion, his bio on the official university website spells it Nicco (last bullet under Personal) and I would think the person interviewing him would have asked but who knowsOkay, ignore everything I said about Nicco and Nico. "Actually"'s post prompted me to do a Google search. I should have done that in the first place. And it looks as if "Actually" is correct. It still could be NIcco but usually it is Nico. So my apologies to everyone for being an a** and wasting everyone's time. I think I will take some time off away from Loyalty

I like this. Let’s go with this.Niccolo Moretti - NIMO
You have to click the link I posted to his profile and scroll down to the last bullet his personal section where it references his nickname and they spell it Nicco
Iowa definitely was hitting their midrange jumpers in the first half, though to be honest, it didn't seem all that out of the ordinary based on how they've been playing. They hit some tough ones, sure, but as you said, it felt more like good offense to me than bad defense. And I also felt Iowa hitting those shots won't happen every game for them but it seemed fairly repeatable.Going back and rewatching the Latulip video is something I would recommend for a lot of you guys. The defense overall was actually pretty good. Some of the shots Iowa were hitting in the first half were absolutely absurd, and I think it evened out towards the end of the game. The energy was way better, hope to see them continue to make strides defensively
Moretti è il numero undici.Can we just use jersey numbers , surely we can’t mess that up …
Makes sense given how low long we're been trying to find a PG.Niccolo Moretti - NIMO
I thought Moretti did a fairly good job of keeping in front of whoever he was gaurding forcing them to shoot over him. Sometimes that's all it takes to affect their shot.Iowa definitely was hitting their midrange jumpers in the first half, though to be honest, it didn't seem all that out of the ordinary based on how they've been playing.

Interestingly, I thought Ty was playing some really solid defense on Sandfort in the 1st half. Sandfort knowing he couldn't get around Ty, looked to settle for long midrange stepback jumpers which he drained. And to be fair, that is in Payton's bag. But when Moretti was put in, Sandfort saw the size advantage and forgot about his midrange game, and instead tried driving him multiple times only to result in contested 5-8 footers off glass, which is not one of his better shots. This was something that really worked to our advantage, and special shout out to Moretti for doing all he could to stand firm when Sandfort drove on him to contest the shot with the body.
No doubt some engineering geek - like me - would post in base 2 and we would have another lively (or pointless!) debateCan we just use jersey numbers , surely we can’t mess that up …
The portalNot sure where the offense will come from.
I was able to check as for back as 2010. A couple close calls but no 3 30 point scorers.
18-19 Trent and Giorgi, Ayo had 25
17-18 Trent and Kipper, Leron Black had 28
Couple other close ones with guys like Malcolm Hill, Abrams, Rice, DJ and BP3.
Binary? Come on. Hex ftw.No doubt some engineering geek - like me - would post in base 2 and we would have another lively (or pointless!) debate
Yes, roster will be wide open for a quick shooting guard or two.The portal
