someone or (whole team) is messing up... the switch is not happening correctly... or help defense is not coming over... defensively, they look lost during fast pace...

SLOW THE DAMN GAME DOWN!!!
Or Iowa has been top tier offensively for 15 years and we struggle to match up with their system

cliff needs to be stronger with the ball. How about some pick and roll with paul to get him on the move? Lift Cam maybe get him some looks?

On D , we need to start hugging their guys on the perimeter more. How did we not learn this from the first game? Make them drivers
Hard to play pick and roll when Iowa playing some funky 3-2 zone

You realize zones usually give up more outside shots don't you? The answer is better man defense, not a zone.
Youre right, lets stick with our man defense that has gotten absolutely diced up vs 3 point shooting teams this year. That shoild fix it!

thats why bring Rieber back in. Pass into top of the key. let him shoot the mid jumper or pass down low to Cliff. then let him take it or pass to open Cam, if someone doubles down to Cliff.

I did and am arguing it, because it’s wrong
What part is wrong the part where the refs are letting them play like the Detroit pistons bad boys!
The point the foul by Dix should have been an intentional foul
The point about the fouls being the same while we are playing inside and they are shooting outside?
The point in comparison the foul called on Riber was BS?

Horrible match up for us. To beat Iowa you have to both limit to a degree their 3 point scoring prowess and score in the mid to upper 70s. We are not a team able to score outside the 60s during conference play. This means Iowa would need to be ice cold from the outside while we generate a modicum of scoring. Not likely.
Iowa has been the worse matchup for Rutgers in the B1G Ten because of their prowess from the 3 point line.Rutgers defense has been able to stop other league rivals but not Iowa.On offense Rutgers has great difficulty getting open 3 point shots and I don't consider Iowa as a good defensive team.

Pretty sure we have the lowest 3 point percentage allowed this year
3 of the 6 games we have lost are because our man defense did not match up with 3 point shooting teams.

Im not saying play zone all game but you have to give them different looks

The only way you will win with Cliff in lineup he needs to playyhigh at the foul line with pick & rolls. He needs to go downhill tonthe basket he has nothing in the post

We need to stop switching and stop helping. Everyone just needs to stick with their man.
