Most teams don't have a shooter that can consistently hit that shot. Outside of Krikke, I don't think anyone on their team played amazing. Actually without him, you could argue, they wouldn't have even been in the game in the first place.
I have stated it before but Carver is a ghost town this season so far. They have avg a whopping 8,233/game. And that is the announced attendance, the actual attendance is probably closer to 5,000 avg. We are avg 16,793 for comparison.
This ^^^^^^^... there aren't that many 5s in the country that can shoot 61% from 15-16 ft. I'm trying to think of even one in the Big East? And ditto on how out of hand this game could have gotten for us if he shoots less than that. And if I recall, he hit most of those in the 1st half. In the second half he wasn't nearly as accurate... and we had as much as a 17 point lead... that we should have held onto for Christ's sake!
If I was Mac and played them again, I'd have the same game-plan... but throw in a hedge every now and then to just keep them guessing. And I'd prolly pressure the ball a little higher like we did against NDSU and make it a 17 or 18 footer for him.
Dixon is back at Villanova for one more year (I think?) and while he's not really a perimeter guy, team are going to take a shot at seeing if their big guy can shoot from outside when playing Creighton
Turnbull from Butler seems to be taking quite a few 3's this year also

Yeah, I forgot about Dixon. He had a career night against us last year. But shooting 3s, you'd have to make them at a 40% clip to equal the 61% that Krikke had from his mid-range game. If Dixon goes 6-8 from 3 and 11-15 overall against us again, I will buy you dinner at the restaurant of your choice.

Funny b/c the only time I recall fans booing was when was stopped from Sandfort being down on the court. (which play should have stopped due to an injured player) but overall this crazy talk from the Iowa board reminds me why I used to cheer for the Hawks, but will never again. I remember going to a football game there about 10 years ago and was amazed how childish grown adults look especially when they are drunk. People were puking and peeing all over the place in plain sight. Never seen a more disgusting fan base.
