Watching Iowa State warm up,prior to the game, they had 8 guys in uniform. I immediately thought our strategy would be to full court press these guys with our deeper bench. ISU has 6 talented guys so I saw us wearing them out or getting them in foul trouble as you foul,more when you are tired. Then as the game started and this was also obvious as ISU almost penetrated at will and got a lot of easy 5 foot shots or lay ups. Why did we not mix up our defense and throw some zone at them to eliminate the penetration and force them to make some outside shots? My point is that there were few if any adjustments and we did not take advantage of our deeper bench.
