How do you all see the match-ups? Do you have any concerns? I got a couple:
+ White & Oglesby (s?) could give be those players that rise from obscurity to give us troubles.
+ I'm ok with the Marble-Babb match up, but in the couple games I've seen Iowa, Marble has really elevated his game and can go 1-on-1 with anybody.
+ Woodbury / Booker. Hope the refs aren't calling ticky-tac fouls, otherwise Booker may pick up 2-fouls in the first half and have to sit.

Hey CyFan61, I live in Iowa City and I'd recommend parking in one of the hospital ramps and then just walking over. Its only like a 10 minute walk to Carver and you get out pretty fast that way. If you just go to Kinnick stadium, theres two HUGE parking garages across the street. When my friends and I go to Iowa games (I go to school at Iowa) we always park there. It'll end up costing like $5, unless they up it for tonight. Good luck!

We have the talent and experience to win this game by 10+ points, I'm just worried about us coming out slow. If our guys match their intensity in all aspects, we'll win this game.

I've posted this in another thread but it bears repeating: Kenpom and Sagarin have Iowa winning by 1. Vegas has Iowa winning by 2.5. ISU has never won 4 straight against the Hawkeyes.
I want this one bad! Glad we are playing them early in the year as I think they will get much better than they are now. I was calling for a 15 point win and I'm sticking with it in spite of the computers and experts: 88-73 ISU

Good luck tonight Cyclones. I still think it's pretty sad, though, that 25 years ago I was able to watch one awesome game between these two teams on local TV. As a 10 year old kid living in the heart of Hawkeye country that was pretty special. Now, my kids will likely never get to see this game.
I could be over looking something but is Babb the only player on Iowa State's roster that has ever lost to Iowa (while he was at PSU)?
That appears to be correct.
Thought this was interesting. for their careers: Lucious is 5-0 against Iowa. Booker is 0-5 against UNI. (Babb is 2-2 against the hawks.)

And my cable/phone/Internet chose today to go out, and Mediacom isn't coming until Sunday afternoon.

It still bugs me that when they extended Frantic Fran's contract they gave him a few more $$/year than Fred's deal. Would love for Fred & us to win again tonight for an unprecedented 4 in a row!
