[Herky] Hawkeyes finally play some defense

[Dennis v]

One negative is that they are very young, learning a lot on the fly.  They will be schooled by several Big Ten veteran players in league play.

One positive thing I’ve noticed is that Bohannon is pretty adept at his feeding the post with his passes.  A lot of freshmen struggle with entry passes into the low post (or even the high post). Ellingson also does well with this aspect of the passing game.  Williams is still learning.

Even in this excellent win there are a lot of negatives that you can point out.  That is encouraging to me as there is still a big opportunity for them to get much better.

It was a fun game to watch and enjoyable to see Iowa State get beat.  I agree with the intensity of the entire team.  If I had to nitpick a bit, some of the Hawkeye shots seemed forced when a teammate appeared to be open.  But I loved the aggressiveness that they displayed going to the bucket.  

>From this one game it appears that they'll be competitive in conference play although I've seen both Purdue and the Hoosier play several times and both teams are excellent. 

Go Hawks!!

I thought one of the keys was Moss guarding Morris at the start. He shut Morris down early. If ISU had been able to get out to a fast start I am not sure how Iowa responds.  Excellent intensity. They also worked through being tired at the end. When ISU got it to 7 you had to wonder if a young team would let it slip away.

with intensity.  Great win tonight.  Contributions came from each of the 9 Hawks players who got playing time.  

It was a very physical game, and the Hawks were up for the physical play.  Iowa held the Cyclones to 35.7% shooting pct, and forced them into taking 30 three-pointers, 22 of which missed.  They also out-rebounded them.

Great game plan, well executed.

Oh, by the way, Isaiah Moss is going to be a very good player.

Go Hawks!
