Offense has been ugly for most of this tourney. Seeing two teams score is nice. Great visual basketball. Oregon great in half court. Iowa great in transition.

Yeah this has been some kind of NBA level offense. Granted defense sucks in this game but they do make some really tough shots.

 

[bMORE607]

Defense has been nonexistent in this game so far.

Welcome to your first Iowa game

 

[BawlzDeep]

Glass!!

 

[hawkit3113]

Welcome to your first Iowa game

Good enough to beat the Terps

 

[duckboy33]

I've never seen Oregon play with this kind of pace. They are substituting more than they did during PAC 12 play. I wonder if they are trying to tire Garza out. That would be my guess.

 

[ThePhog08]

When you can outscore anyone but the Zags, do you need D?

 

[BawlzDeep]

So far they're failing. He's on beastmode.

 

[dukedevilz]

Stepping on the sideline! That can't happen. We just talked about this the other day!

 

[thebasketballreasons]

Good game so far, both teams on pace to score 100.

 

[Noahtogo24]

Go Terps tonight!!!

 

[hawkit3113]

Oregon can't miss

 

[BawlzDeep]

This game has the feel it will go overtime, or game is won on last possession shot at buzzer.

 

[thebasketballreasons]

Iowa in trouble, Oregon making every shot they take. They have their own defense to blame though, most of these 3s are wide open.

And from NBA range.

Hey, Oregon. Stop making 3s.

Thank you.

 

[WestTexasRaider]

Does Oregon or Iowa play defense?

They can't possibly keep shooting this well

 

[dukedevilz]

Does Oregon or Iowa play defense?

Altman and Fran both said it was optional.

 

[ExitFlagger]

Oregon can't miss

How tight is your sphincter about now? 😂

 

[thebasketballreasons]

They can't possibly keep shooting this well

True if Iowa plays defense, but a lot of these shots are open 3s so that says a lot about this game.

 

[hawkit3113]

Does Oregon or Iowa play defense?

We don't, no

 

[BawlzDeep]

Garza has the Michael Jordan foul privilege exception.

 

[ExitFlagger]

Does Oregon or Iowa play defense?

Negative.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Here comes a hero ball fade away 3 and the showboating afterwards.

Congrats Oregon. You guys were the more rested team and decided to make all your shots today.

 

[BawlzDeep]

Never jump at the shooter. Ridiculous foul was stupid.

 

[hawkit3113]

Fvck me

 

[jhmossy]

Holy shit I think UVA could score 80 on Iowa

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

They can't possibly keep shooting this well

They will because they're playing Iowa. Teams gain magical upgrades to their shooting ability from anywhere on the court when they play Iowa.

 

[dukedevilz]

Toussaint didn't attempt a three at the end of the half? Was he worried about lowering his 27% 3-point percentage?

 

[Original_Irish]

Basketball is a West Coast sport!!!

 

[BawlzDeep]

GG Ducks. Can the Hawkeyes make it a game in the 2nd half? Heck yeah they can. Feed the big man. Get out on those shooters.

 

[dukedevilz]

At what point in the game does Oregon hit 100 points? 4 minutes remaining?

 

[Husker-J]

Why not take the three quarter shot before half? The 0.5% chance you make it gives you great momentum prior to half. Do players care that much about their personal stats not to shoot it? Just never have understood why you wouldn’t take a chance.

 

[thebasketballreasons]

Iowa doesnt play defense, and funny they are getting beaten by Oregon by their own game. With this being said, Oregon got super lucky as VCU could've easily knocked them out of round of 64. Instead they got a bye and became fully rested. On the other hand, Pac-12 still undefeated so far, this conference is on a mission this year.

 

[duckboy33]

It looks like Altman is letting Garza get his mismatches on the offensive end and figures Oregon will get their mismatches on the perimeter. That will work as long as Oregon continues to hit 3s.

 

[Ipartiedwithhopgood]

Some of the 3s are just wide open looks.

 

[duckboy33]

Some of the 3s are just wide open looks.

Iowa has issues keeping Oregon's guards in front of them. That penetration is leading to wide open 3s.

 

[ExitFlagger]

Hawkit's taking it on the chin yet again. Poor bastard thought Iowa was finally going to reach the Sweet 16.

 

[supergreennole]

I'm surprised most people are picking against FSU on here. We've definitely taken a step back offensively, but our defense has been playing pretty well in the postseason. Colorado is definitely good but I still think we have a definite size advantage and are not going to have a zero 3 pointer game again
