they've gotten very good performances out of their depth players
banks/koch/folgueras carried them against florida (while stirtz was largely controlled); sage stepped up for banks last night and stirtz had 20. they cannot guard illinois and they fouled a lot in the florida game. wagler, mirk and andrej are terrible matchups for them and could very likely go to the line 25 times between the three. Better hit the free throws. They need a cold shooting performance from illinois and continued red hot offense from their non-Stirtz guys to beat us. Illinois should be okay if it shoots normal % from 3 (mid 30s anyway), hits free throws and, most importantly, continues to guard as well as it has so far in the tournament. Not that complicated. Iowa did us a huge favor by beating florida; i didn't love that matchup. Don't return it with sloppy play and lazy defense. Hasn't been a problem so far in this tournament, except for the FT lapses last night.  Previous Message
I watched parts of the IA/NE, but it's been a few months since we played them and I haven't watched them play recently. FVCK IOWA!!!!!!
