Another slow start haunts Iowa men's basketball in 87-73 loss to No ... (Hawk Central)

West Lafayette, Ind. − Coming off an emotional win over rival Illinois on Saturday, Iowa men's basketball team knew the challenge ahead on Thursday night ...

One of those baskets was a dunk that brought Mackey to its loudest point of the night at the 4-minute mark. It's been a particular issue on the road (see Nebraska and Penn State); Iowa is now 2-5 away from home. "Making Edey play us a little more, putting the guards into more ball screens and getting downhill was a big part of our strategy. The difference in second-chance points doesn't stand out on paper (18-12 advantage for Purdue) but the timeliness of Purdue's second chances were notable. "I don't think we moved well enough in the first half in our motion (offense)," McCaffery said. And this is a hard team to drive on but you still have to penetrate space and create opportunities." And offensively it was a poor shooting half for Iowa, which shot 29% from the field and 10% from 3-point range (1-of-10). "We got off to a tough start on the defensive end," Murray said. You have a lot of ground to cover when you're double-teaming because now you have three (players) guarding four." While he was limited offensively (four first-half points), Iowa sacrificed open shots on the perimeter and it proved costly. A Tony Perkins steal-turned-Murray layup to start the game was pretty much Iowa's only bright spot during the first half. "If we want to beat the No.

They typically shoot best against teams that don’t close out shots as well as the Boilers do, so especially on the road, that’s a tough task for the Hawkeyes. Purdue is in a similar sphere but not quite on the same level while slipping in the rankings of creating turnovers. That shouldn’t be an issue even if Purdue is one of the better free throw shooting teams in college hoops. He’s also one of the weaker free throw shooters on the team at just over 60%, so if Edey, who rarely fouls (especially compared to last year), wants to use one or two more fouls than usual, he knows who to foul. They are the 31-st ranked team in average height with some muscle and good footwork down low, so I can see them potentially giving Purdue more fits in the paint than most teams could. Their adjusted offensive efficiency is a whopping 121.0, which, for context, is actually tied with Purdue’s to put them both as the second-highest in college basketball.
