I am. I keep telling myself to stop reading all these threads that make me that much more nervous. All I can say is GO CYCLONES!
Anyone else scared for today?

Someone started a thread the other day about this gym at Dayton being a shooters gym. That seemed to be true the other night. If that holds true today we will be fine.
I'm not really that nervous. We are the big underdog, so there's really not that much to be nervous about IMO.
However, I don't want to see us get beat by 15 or more points. Anything less than 15 pts I would consider a competitive game for the most part. I don't want to see us lose by 30 and have everyone say that we were just pretenders. That's really the only thing I'm nervous about.
Otherwise, there's really nothing to lose. Leave it all out there! It's a great opportunity.

I've got the dvr set thinking I should just not watch it live, find out if we win and then really enjoy it rather than have 3 - 4 mini heart attacks throughout the game, but I think I'm going to go ahead and watch it live and hope we represent ISU well and leave it at that.
That said, I like our chances. We are 7 point dogs, but OSU is not a big scorer. The game should remain tight for the duration. Just want to play a good game and let things fall in place. I would be more concerned if we were big and slow than if smaller and fast.
I'm not as concerned about the energy-expense as much as being able to put together the wall-to-wall solid game twice in a row.
It feels like we may see a good start, but won't be able to sustain it into the second half. Who knows, maybe that will be due to some long-term fatigue.
Honestly, our guys did not look at all fatigued versus Notre Dame after the game. That's one of the last things I'm worried for. Even if they were, these are young, very athletic guys. It's not like a guy who's 45 years old and barely works out, and is out of commission for three days after just one 40 minute workout.
These guys have been running up and down the court, doing this **** all their lives. Notre Dame was slow so I am certain our players weren't even working/running their hardest for most of the game.

Ive tried explaining this to the lady before when we have to schedule things around ISU.
Scared? Not really, ISU is a 10 seed playing on a basic home court against the number 7 team in the country. IF they win they have played a great game in a very difficult situation. IF they loose it was a good season that could have been great.
I also agree 100%. I do DVR the games I can't watch live, but I make sure not to catch the results prior to watching the game. One of the best parts of watching the game is the suspense of the outcome.
