Saw a game live before Christmas. Back again today. This is definitely not the same team.
Defense is bad, but the offense is an absolute joke.These are really bad defensive lapses. They used to play with much better defensive intensity. Allowed so many wide open 3 looks in the past 2 mins.
They forgot to defend 3 point shots, made careless TOs. Didn't finish.WTF happened? I heard the layup on the radio to put us up 63-58. Then I got situated getting out of the car and things put away, checked for a Twitter update and we're down 63-69 in under 2 minutes.
Not if either of our first two opponents know what a 3 pt shot is.IMO we still get to the Sweet 16 in the big tournament. At a minimum.

How does a senior laden team that is this deep run out of gas at home, vs a team playing like 3 freshmen?Ran out of gas the last couple mins. And Wazzou didn't miss. Their guard hit a 3 with 45 seconds left that would have made Steph Curry blush.

Something else is going on - there's an issue with this team

I'm wondering if some of the offensive struggles are an issue of handling pressure. I thought they looked tight during warmups except for Nolan. I also wonder why they didn't keep feeding Frida and Nolan when they were shooting well from the 3. They kept trying to get the ball into the paint for difficult shots against a tall WSU team instead of kicking it out. That worked for a while when Sherrod was getting a lot of foul calls, but you can't rely on that at the end of the game when refs are more likely to let stuff go.How does a senior laden team that is this deep run out of gas at home, vs a team playing like 3 freshmen?

This team hasn't guarded the 3 point shot the entire season. I don't know what happened 3 weeks ago, but they have not played well since then.
Would not be surprised they go 1 and out in Vegas and that makes me sad.
Won't be hosting the Dance and that makes me sad.
I do not understand what happened.
Fully on the Iowa bandwagon now. I will be cheering for greatness
