[QUOTE="aaeismacgychel, post: 2023661, member: 748794"] 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. 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. [/QUOTE]
