I watched the first quarter; only time I've seen Iowa.  What surprised me is how Iowa schooled SC on the basic pick and roll.  I assume that is a basic staple for them.  The SC coaching staff should have had plenty of tape for preparation.  How could SC get burned so bad by the pick and roll?  They should have been ready for it rather than project a "what can we do" attitude.

My thought was that Iowa has the perfect players to run the screen and roll in Clark and Czinano, plus a couple other players who can make a three if their defenders collapse the paint.  You can’t go under the screen, as Clark will kill you with a three.  You can’t fight over the top because Clark will turn the corner and score a layup.  If you try to switch, Clark will feed Czinano who is very good finishing, and if you try to collapse, Clark can kick it out to Warnock, Marshall, or Martin, each of who, have 40 or more made threes and a three point percentage pushing 40%.

You chase over the top and then rotate. Problem is South Carolina's 3rd and 4th rotations were awful. Czinano got way too many wide open layups with no help from anyone. Staley should have fixed that.
