I would adjust some scores but this looks about right to me. In order for us to win in what should be a TOUGH road environment we need to play defense (intensity) like we did in the 2nd half against KU. We haven't done that on the road against a quality opponent to date, so I have a hard time thinking we'll do it on Saturday.

If we had a healthy McKay I would be inclined to lean toward an ISU win. Since we don't I think we'll have to fire on all cylinders to come out on top. Getting positive contributions from Burton is crucial. He CANNOT be a zero like he has on many occasions. Somewhere between the KU home game and the OU road performance would be fantastic.
