One thing I’m interested in, just about every year we have had an underclassmen guy break out in the tournament for us, it’s strange but it almost happens every year, starting back to Shaq Thomas vs creighton, Troy caupain against Purdue, Jacob Evans against st. Joes, and Jarron Cumberland the last 2 years was phenomenal against UCLA, Georgia state, and Nevada. So if history repeats itself someone like Keith Williams, Trevor Moore or Logan Johnson could have a breakout game for us.

Big game Cumberland is just a different kind of player. After watching him in the AAC tourney he just looks more like a leader, he is getting his swag back at a great time. Houston is much better than Iowa and if Corey Davis and Dejon Jarreau cant stop Jarron Iowa will be hard pressed to find someone to match him. Now with that being said we know what Jarron can do but in my opinion Cane Broome and Tre Scott are the X- factors to this game. Both playing very well currently and when Cane is scoring man we are tough to beat.

look at the design of what we were doing. when houston would pnr both guards would defend the guy with the ball and brooks would suck up and stay on the guy setting the pick. then jarron had to cover 2 guys, one on the wing and one in the corner. at first he was staying back and the wing was shooting wide open 3 after wide open 3. then he stepped up but the corner was wide open. the way we switch and help leaves us open to overloading a side. you can set up open shots with some good ball movement and screens, it doesn't just have to be from penetrating past our guards. north carolina central, milwaukee, nku, teams like that were getting wide open 3 after wide open 3. none of them have an offense anywhere close to as good as iowa. |

I'm fairly concerned with Iowa.
Here is why: Nevada: #7 on Offense, #108 on Defense UCLA: #2 on offense, #85 on Defense St Joes: #32 on Offense, #63 on defense Iowa: #15 on offense, #115 on Defense Seems to be that the teams who beat us in the tourney have top 30 and mostly top 20 offenses. Great offense always beats great defense. Im not looking past Iowa one bit, they are really dangerous However, it does seem that Iowa Struggles when they play slower paced grind it out teams. |

One concern I have with Iowa that hasn't been discussed yet is how we'll deal with going up against two skilled and aggressive bigs in Cook and Garza. We really haven't faced a frontcourt in the AAC that compares to these two.
Does any one else have similar concerns? |

The one good thing is they aren't a very good rebounding team so we should be able to still score but on the defensive end it may be a struggle. I am hoping that Scott can slow down Cook and that the matchup zone gives them some trouble. If we can start fast they may quit. |
