Memphis State Coach Moe Iba Vows Defense First
NEW YORK AP The Memphis State basketball coach Moe Iba, son of Henry Iba, says his team will emphasize defense and controlled play. He notes a shift from last season’s high-scoring style to a 11-4 start and holds a 51.7 point allowed average, while Oklahoma State lags with a 17th-ranked defense. He favors the percentage shot and plans not to stretch the team beyond its size, acknowledging the potential future meeting with his father’s Oklahoma State squad.
