How #1 Gonzaga scored at will against Iowa, a video thread:
I'm going to go chronologically, but I had to show this play first.
This is an example of how not to play ball screen defense.
Connor McCaffrey doesn't force Suggs to use the screen. Suggs has a straight line drive to the rim & Iowa doesn't provide help.

Iowa is in their matchup zone.
As Kispert lifts along the arc, McCaffrey tracks him. There's no pass off to Toussaint, so McCaff and Toussaint are both on the ball.
Kispert passes to Ayayi, creating a 2-on-1 with Garza as the only man on the back line. Easy dump-off to Ballo.

Timme sets a ball screen for Suggs. I think Nunge wants a switch, but there's a miscommunication with McCaffrey, so Iowa has two on the ball.
Timme is rolling free to the rim & the help is late and out of control --> easy layup.

Poor transition D from Iowa.
Clip is a little glitchy at the start, but as the shot misses, Bohannon is ahead of Nembhard.
Nembhard beats Bohannon down the court. Even though McCaffrey and Nunge are back, nobody takes Nembhard streaking down the lane.

Timme hands-off to Kispert outside the arc. Iowa is in their ball screen coverage with Garza at the level of the screen.
Kispert easily beats Garza baseline and Iowa's other defenders are spectators.

Really poor transition defense again.
As the shot goes up, both Wieskamp and Nunge are outside the arc, in position to get back after the miss.
"First three steps" are critical in transition. Both don't get back and Nembhard leaks-out for the easy basket.

Another example of bad transition D. After the TO, Wieskamp runs back but doesn't pick up a man.
Gonzaga has two players on the far wing, where only Fredrick is.
Fredrick should be at the nail & can take the first pass. He takes Suggs to start, but lets him cut free to the hoop

Gonzaga sets a double screen for Ayayi and Timme gets deep position in the post.
Wieskamp somehow ends up back-to-back with Timme on the post entry.
Garza comes to double, but the help doesn't rotate onto Garza's man. Too easy.

Aaron Cook drives baseline and Garza steps up to help. Wieskamp is slow to react and help on Garza's man.
...sensing a theme here with Iowa's off ball defenders.

Nembhard catches around mid-court after the made basket.
McCaffrey is in position to pick him up, but Wieskamp points to Suggs on the wing and they miscommunicate.
No one takes the ball and Nembhard is all alone.

Garza is cross-matched on Nembhard, so he and Nunge switch the ball screen.
Nembhard gets a step on Nunge and Garza rotates to help. Wieskamp is slow again in his help on Garza's man --> layup.
