[Herky] Iowa-Purdue basketball: Time, TV channel, how to watch online

[Dennis VanLangen]

In November, I set my expectations way too high for the Hawks.
1. I expected the changing defensive schemes, including the trapping full and 3/4 presses, would be very effective. They have been ineffective in most games, and sometimes completely shredded. Some defenders get lost, do not get proper positioning, use poor footwork, aren’t tough enough to fight through screens, over-help, or just don’t put in the effort.
2. I over-estimated Nunge. He should have been red shirted.
3. I expected a lot from Moss and Pemsl after their very good freshmen seasons. Both have regressed.
4. I expected more poise from the backcourt players, but overall they have turned over the ball too much, and their passing skills need a lot of improvement. They are intimidated by physical guards and have been dribbling too much.
5. I expected to see more out of Wagner as an upperclassman. He has been invisible and has been used primarily as a 2 minute player.
6. I expected the coaching staff to prepare the team effectively and make good in-game adjustments. It’s not working out well.
7. I expected the team to show  physical and mental toughness. But, for the most part, they tend to be soft and easily frustrated by tight defense from the opposition.

Add some complications such as several injuries and illness and it’s made for tough times in Herky Land.
