Iowa MBB trying to get a road win at home today
- Thread starter psuguy43
- Start date
This post was meant to be a joke. The commentator said that Iowa is trying to win on the road, and the game's at Iowa. Penn State is the road team. I think we have a good chance
Yes, a guy on the Penn State hoops discord confirmed that in photos of the team boarding the plane a pair of legs had the same shoes Lundy was wearing on Instagram, lol.
More recently, John Sauber confirmed that Lundy made the trip in a tweet
Pickett has been great but not the best when pressured in the back court.
It's encouraging that we are still right there in this game when we've already pretty much met our full game average for turnovers in only the first half. Sloppy
We are at the end of the semester so I have some very frustrating/mundane grading to do for freshmen (social promotions end in 9th grade- and many just don't believe that THEY WILL FAIL). Spending the day on last gasp attempts with all sorts of checklists for them to salvage things.....
I watched the score on gametracker....looks like we were lucky to be in it at half but that the wheels fell off the wagon in 2nd for a butt kicking. One of the things that has impressed me about Coach Shrew is that he has managed to keep us in games when we really shouldn't have been....I guess not today.
I traded one form of frustration for another- and picked right today- at least I was productive : )

I wouldn't worry about it too much or look too into this game. Blowouts happen. JH was not himself today - wondering if he isn't feeling well?
I think it was 20-5 with a couple minutes left in the 1st half. Harrar got pushed around a bit today but also didn't get as many minutes or touches in the post.
Was more of an offense issue to me, way too many times they didn't get a decent shot off. Iowas press got them out of rhythm, even as a slow playing team those 4-5 extra seconds used in the backcourt make a difference. Very few post ups from pickett or Lee as well.
PSU struggled with the pressure and couldn't get into their offense. No doubt about that but getting out rebounded by more than a 2-1 margin in the second half is an effort thing. No excuse.
Really was hoping offensive flow would be better under Shrews but it's not happening. B10 defenses starting to take away the few things we do well.
Still too much dribbling and standing around. Not enough movement, sharp cutting, and quick passing. Hoping it's mostly a personnel issue that will be rectified starting next season.

I'm actually seeing more off-ball movement. We also run some schemes, like auto-rescreens. It may look like we are playing iso ball and doing nothing, but we are:
Harrar and Lee combined 1-9. Most of those were off OReb or a jumper by Lee. Should have more post ups next round. Need to force Keegan to play defense more than they did tonight. Lundy has to be more aggressive on o too.
Iowa is always tough at Carver, next week at psu will be different
