I put this loss on coach

we let them dictate tempo
we stopped attacking the basket. I kept thinking "attack, don't let them get set". but we would start our half court offense
we let them score too readily. did not aadjust on defense.
blech.

Good to know, we were on the edge of our seats.

You're right...every time I saw Fran bringing the ball up the court I was like "Dude...wtf???"...

I put it on the coach, the players, oh yeah, and Nebraska because they, you know, beat us.

Re: I put this loss on coach

I put Iowa's consistent pathetic defense on Iowa's coaches. Have never seen a team consistently so out of position. They do every fundamentally bad thing a team can do on defense outside of literally putting the ball in the other teams basket.

Defense has been like that for years. The result of Lick's recruiting, no doubt. Being outmatched athletically in every spot on the perimeter sure makes defending tough.

This loss is 50% Lick and 50% bad luck

Archie played hard tonight Woodster. Who was coach going to put in? If Basabe chooses to play with 1/3 the energy Archie did then Devon would have been on the bench and we probably would have won.

Re: I put this loss on coach

Nebraska's guards were more athletic and they were a better team defensively. They won the game on having skilled guards that can drive and kick and hit FTs and having a 7 footer.
