Whats everyone thinking? I go back and forth on this one and think its going to be a great back and forth game. ISU took care of KSU once this season, has only lost one conference road game played on the weekend in the last two seasons (in Lawrence), and has the better coach. Game goes to overtime and ISU get a crucial win.

ISU- 82
KSU- 81

Hoping we play like we usually do when we're playing big time opponents. Also like the fact KSU plays KU at the Phog on Monday. They are going to want to beat them when they're down, so I'm hoping they focus on them more. I think KL and WC continue to have great games in conference. I'm a little optimistic.


ISU: 76
KSU: 72
 
I'm beginning to see a sense of urgency with Lucious and Clyburn.

Better focus and more intensity.

Thus : ISU 71 KScUm: 66
 
I'm envisioning an OSU-esque "shoulda, woulda, coulda" game, in which we're up by at least 4 with a minute remaining but can't seal the deal.

Cats 72, Clones 70

Hope I'm wrong and we throttle them.

Completely agree. Close loss, just can't quite put it away. I see Niang getting in foul trouble again as he will get NO benefit from the refs on the road, banging with KSU's big guys.
 
64-62 KSU. But, if we win I smell a Big 12 co-championship.
 
I see this going two ways.

1) ISU (specifically Ejim and Niang) stay out of foul trouble and ISU wins by 2 (73-71).

2) Ejim and Niang get into foul trouble (which is more likely) and ISU loses by 7 (74-67).

Obvious X-factor here is how the Clones will shoot and the defense Babb can put on McGruder. KSU is a good team and should beat the Clones as I think they are the better team, but ISU has the potential to beat anybody at anytime. It's going to take a team effort!

I don't see this one getting into the 80's. 66-65 ISU

Agree here. This is going to be a maul-fest. Brutal basketball, both teams are playing for an edge here. Foul heavy, but clones will on free throws.
 
I think if we can repeat the 11 threes we made down there last year we have a chance.

I completely agree! Also, if there was ever a time to unleash the power of the Ejim/Chrisopherson White Men Can't Jump avatar it is now. Thug life went nuts at KSU last year and the clones will need some huge shots to win this game. I say ISU channel's it's inner Thug Life and go nuts from three on Saturday.
 
I'll bet ya putting a betting line on ISU is a real *****, especially a match up @ kstate, who plays an opposite style.

If I were betting real money on games my rule would be, never bet the game when ISU is on the road.

That said.....I'm guessing ksu will be favored by 4, and I'll put a $100 down says ISU wins outright.
