I predict that my heart will be racing for the entire game, I will stand up and yell at the TV for every call in KU's favor assuming that most of them will be marginal at best, no lead will make me feel comfortable and I will have extreme elation or depression after the game.
I think we're going to come out a little tight. KU gets an early 7-10 point lead. Iowa State takes over somewhere in the last 10 mins of game and doesn't look back.
ISU: 77
KU: 68
I'm very tempted to get a ticket, take a half day from work, drive to Ames for the game and back to Lincoln afterward. 3.5 to 4 hours of sleep and a full day of work the next day; i can manage that...right?
I think this game will go down to the wire much like it did in Lawrence, Kansas has a chip on their shoulder after those three losses and this game could decide whether or not they win the Big 12 regular season. They will battle until the very end, but instead of them hitting the miracle three at the end its a brick.
I think my ideal outcome is a close game where a circus shot at the buzzer gives ISU a win. I'm talking a 3/4 court heave down 2 and the buzzer sounds with the ball in the air before banking off the glass and going through the hoop.
Then, we beat KU by 25 in the conference tournament championship game.
I think Hilton will be crazy and isu blow them out. They get the confidence they need to win the last 4 and get a share of the big 12 title after ku and ksu slip up.
