[Herky] Prediction for tonight's starting lineup

[Jeff Napier]

I read a comment from a player that talked about how the coaches told them not to over help (MI game) and make sure that they can cover the guys in the corner. Yet that player said that they over helped and could not say why.   So while I am not excusing the coaches most of this falls on the players. They need to go out and give full effort (which I don't think they are always doing) and follow the coaching (which they are not doing on a consistent basis)


On defense they cannot stop penetration. If the guys on the corner do not drop down to help then it is often a lay up basket. If they do drop down then the guard kicks it out to the corner and an open three eventually results.


I am not sure what the issue is on offense but it looks to me like the other team can guard everyone on Iowa, except maybe Cook, one on one with out help. If  you can do that you will struggle to score consistently.  I tried to watch for penetration by Iowa and I think I saw it happen one time.

They look like an very poorly coached team.

Very poor showing from the defense again.  I would say the coaching staff has to start teaching some basics again.

Lot of standing around and no one goes after a rebound following a long-range attempt.
Silly passes that result in turnovers and shots missed at the rim including free throws.
If Garza can attempt threes then why does JB not attempt more when there are no other scoring options on the team.
No one wants to leave their feet to flush the ball down and try a lot of finger rolls.
Non-existent defense and no main offensive weapons beyond Cook.

Is the coaching poor from FMcaf???

Garza instead of Nunge.

Nunge really plays soft.  Similar to Uthoff in his first season at Iowa.
