Seems you and I are pretty firmly in agreement these days. I see this as the apex for Underwood.
He is simply not a good game or game prep coach.
Relies heavily on trying to instill intensity and toughness and his stars stepping up and making plays.
I like the toughness part- but a lot of teams are hard nosed and try and keep the pressure on physically. Nothing that new there anymore. It is expected at the highest levels. It is why Iowa will never be that good.
They do not guard hard enough. Another shitty coach. You can't just outscore people.
Curiously, we have been gassed and out toughed by a fair margin the last two games. Out coached in both games.
No way we beat Duke even if they are not quite as dominant as usual. Coach K will make adjustments if needed and they are at home.
My guess is Duke by 7 or even more if it gets out of hand.
I hope I am wrong. I hope we get the chemistry we had going on at end of year with Feliz and Griffin playing lights out and Ayo thriving off of the ball.
He needs to start Curbelo over Trent, and I love Trent. Play match-ups better by rotating different guys at the 4. Get Ayo off the ball. Use more high ball screens in space.
Protect Kofi better and get him the ball where he can do something.
We are currently 7th in the Big Ten in KenPom and 24th overall by the way. We are not good right now.
