Iowa will likely see -12 fewer possessions per game.Previous HC McCaffery’s guards thrived in transition; McCollum’s system emphasizes spacing, ball movement, and defensive rebounding in a plodding half-court game.A Scoring drop is highly  probable: Even if efficiency holds, raw PPG could fall 8–12 points without tempo volume.
