2012-13 Basketball Week 4: Nov26-Dec2, Iowa, Oklahoma St.
TechHoops preview is up for Iowa. Not a spectacular team, but definitely better than anyone we've played so far.
My concerns:
1. rebounding has not been good against shorter teams... will we do well enough?
2. outside shooting has been very good so far, but will Iowa's length give us trouble?
3. can we stay out of foul trouble? Iowa has much more depth than we do (a likely theme for the rest of the year).
On the other hand:
1. Their PG and their C are true freshmen. We definitely have the experience edge at those positions.
2. Barksdale may be one of our better defenders, and along with Wood our defensive rebounding at the 4 has been pretty good. Iowa's best rebounder, at least statistically, plays at the 4.
3. I think our starters are all-around equal or better at every position except the 4.
