[Herky] Game

Fri Jan 29 12:10:10 PST 2016

I was surprised how easily Lehman beat Uthoff on drives to the hoop a few times.  Jared looked to be lead-footed at times on defense, in addition to his offensive struggles where he had numerous short-armed shots.

I think Iowa will likely lose 2 or 3 more games in the Big Ten, and will most likely get a #2 seed if that happens.  But if they roll through the BTT to capture the trophy, they may be in contention for a #1 seed.  But it’s still January, way too early to figure out #1 seeds at this point.  It only takes one short stretch of more losses than wins to change things drastically in the race for top seedings.

1.     I think our guys were collectively a little intimated last night in their first visit to Maryland.

2.     Maryland’s defense was stifling.  Utoff had a hard time seeing daylight.

3.     My guess is a lot of our guys had down biorhythms. They just were not sharp.

4.     Give me a neutral floor and a normal Iowa team, and we beat these guys without question.

5.     I hate the loss, but a 17-1 record in the B1G ain’ so bad.

6.     Will 4-6 losses hurt us in getting a 1 seed?

>From what I read they use a different brand (UA) of basketball. It sounds like there could be some variability in the weight.

National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) - Men

The requirements of this association are not as stringent as compared to the National Basketball League (NBA) or International Basketball Federation (FIBA). A size 7 ball is the standard for men's tournaments. The circumference measures between 29.5 and 30 inches, and the ball has a weight in the range of 20 and 22 oz. Ultimately, there has to be a bounce 49 to 54 inches in height, if it is dropped from 6 feet.

Another observation from the last few games. I think Clemmons is now a better player than Gesell. This is not a nock on Gesell as I think he has improved every year.  It is just a testimony to all the hard work Clemmons has put in and the dramatic improvement he has made.

Jeff,

Seeing so many balls being short of the net made me wonder if the team was sick or something.

It was bad to see that the entire team was off the boil except for AW.

AW had a very good game and hope he started playing like this in his Jr year.

I was still upset with him for not finishing off a couple of baskets at the net early in the game and that pretty much was the difference in the game.

Uthoff was not a factor the whole game due to good defense by Maryland. Gesell is very good when he is running the offense , getting assists and playing defense.  He is not very good at taking the ball to the hoop against good teams and shooting FT's (especially at the end of the game). Unfortunately it was the latter that he did this game (and the open drives at the end when we needed a 3 do not count). He missed the front end of a 1-1 when they were down by two 64-62.

Not sure if it was due to Maryland defense or the crowd getting to them but Iowa made a lot of really dumb passes and bad shots. I don't think I have ever watched so many air balls and other shots that had no chance by one team. Guys looked really timid on their shots.

Only got to see the last 6 minutes or so due to taking a class on Thursdays.  Saw Jok get 2 shots blocked w/Dakich moaning about no shot fake.   How come ball wasn't in Utoff's hands more down the stretch?

Gasel has 9 TO's over last 2 games with less assists. He also got most of his points uncontested in last 2 min.  Senior PG has to do better. 

Maryland was favored so no big deal Hawks lost but watching last few min. seemed to me that game was there for the taking. 

Go Hawks!

  Not to beat a dead horse but what a HUGE home court advantage at places like Maryland and Ames compared to Carver.

    Tough loss but no shame in losing a close one on the road early in the BT season.  Woodbury and their

    center, Carter, fouled out on bad calls back to back.  However, their depth at center played a huge role down the stretch.

    Now, to move on to Purple at Carver on Sunday!

      Shooting pct was down for both teams as they both hit about 44% of their FGs, and hit in the low 20s for their threes.

      Schooled may be a little harsh, but shooting was terrible.
