Yes, Iowa had 1 stater banged up, so he went scoreless in 13 minutes. The other guard [hotshot] Bohannon got stuffed with his normal solid 3-shooting, an 0 for 9 showing. He was shooting about 40% per game.
This exposes a glaring weakness, team wise. They are not good on defense and not deep with consistent, reliable offensive scorers from outside. Why? They seem a bit slow getting open and are not physically strong enough to fight through tougher/stronger defenders.
Losing one starter seemed to cripple this team way too much. An Achilles Heel?
So, my confidence in Iowa early on, just fizzled out and I now see them not even landing even at #2 in the Big Ten.
* In other words, I am done and so should you be.
Only one thing might save them?
Get a stronger lineup away from those 3 guard-type players. Start big Nunge, a 6-11 1/2 little used, fundamentally sound, player.
