I'd say under on FTs because WVU would have to shoot over 40 for the game to get to 50 total

Another day at the Coliseum for WVU and postseason pursuit
This is just another day for West Virginia basketball. Don't diminish what awaits the Mountaineers. Instead, understand the challenge and the consequences.

Joe Toussaint is throwing a little shade our way.
"They're a completely different team on the road," said WVU point guard Joe Toussaint, a veteran of three games against the Cyclones when he was playing at Iowa. "That's no knock on them. They're still a really good team. But obviously, there are holes in their game when they get on the road."

LOL I'm guessing the defense just got a little tighter on Toussaint.
Don't like this matchup at all, but the Clones are playing with house money here. Need to do something to limit the number of fouls that ISU commits in most games. Having Jaz and King, and a healthier Grill might help enough to get a win.
He is certainly someone who knows a lot about having holes in their game.
Well he has eyeballs so...Another day at the Coliseum for WVU and postseason pursuit

He isn't wrong, but hopefully this is a little bulletin board material for the guys.Another day at the Coliseum for WVU and postseason pursuit

We’re the better team, but wvu seems to be playing decent and they’re at home so I’ll be holding my breath the full 40 minutes. 68-62 good guys
West Virginia leads the Big 12 in free throws attempted per game at 24.3 - that's #8 in the country.
I'll give everyone three guesses to come up with which team is last in the Big 12 in free throw attempts.

I cannot stand watching WV basketball and am expecting a very ugly game.
Road Ws in the B12 are always tough, so going into it I'm not expecting a W. Avoiding a Mizzou or Tech (very different games, but felt like similar things went wrong just at different points of time) repeat would be nice.
Gotta be prepared for pressure and attack it. Avoid a ten-minute period where the wheels fall off and it's definitely winnable.

Always a ball of energy and a ray of sunshine. Bob's answers remind me of the game clock at the end of their games. Always a treat.

The guards really need to stay out of foul trouble early or it could be ugly
West Virginia's metrics look more like a 7-3 team than 3-7.
Touissant will probably have the game of his life and we lose 68-62.

The more I think about it, the more stopping any runs from WV quickly will be huge. Avoiding situations where they can set up the press is a big key for this team in this matchup, it's maybe the spot ISU has struggled with the most when things have turned sideways at times.
Thoughts and prayers to Florida and Alabama fans waiting for their 8pm game.
Two keys to the game tonight:
1) More assists than turnovers
2) Shoot north of 75% from the line
Do both of those we win.
