If you compare the first Iowa game with this one, you see definate improvements. Especially defensively and rebounding. Credit to Sims for the effort he is now putting into D and rebounding, it is making a huge difference. There was one possession when he ended up alone on Kelley on the wing and he dug in and D'ed him up strong. Kelley ended up making a prayer in the lane, but I loved seeing Sims D'ing up like that. We still had a long scoring drought in the first half. But when the talent improves enough to minimize those, we are going to be a solid team. My favorite player, A Wright, came through with a couple huge shots last night. Although I would classify them as definate FORCES. He's going to have to be careful walking that fine line between being aggressive and foolish with his shot selection. Shepherd saw a lot of bench last night, but then again Coleman was knocking down some jumpers. So I don't have a huge problem with it. Good job by Grady also. Harris obviously too. I like how he was automatic from the line at the end of the game... shades of Chauncey Billups. It's really interesting to follow the developement of this team. I think we got something good going here. This game was a great measuring stick. If you compare the first Iowa game with this one, you see definate improvements.
