Right, I don’t see this being based on a one game sample, and many of the people thT claim sample size already anointed guys like Wigginton with a zero sample size. There’s more to suggest we’ll greatly struggle than otherwise.
Predictions of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee at Iowa State game Monday.

I didn't view Wigginton as a bright spot. I thought he was out-of-control on too many drives (but it's clear that the talent is there). I was more encouraged by NWB and Talley (to a lesser degree - but my guess is that he'll be able to get to the rim some in the Big12).
I have no idea what to expect in this game. I'm going to support these young men, who are working hard and will continue to improve. So far, the product looks rough but they're our guys, so 'Go, Clones.'
Wigginton's game was good and bad. Good because he showed that he can pretty easily beat his man off the bounce, bad because he drove into traffic without the discretion to either bring it back out or pass it. He'll learn.
My prediction is ... not that.
Milwaukee returns quite a few players ... from an 11-24 team. Also probably about 200th RPI range or below. So I seriously hope ISU doesn't lose this game.
I won't get overconfident enough to expect a blowout win.
Iowa State 76, Milwaukee 61
I predict we will continue to develop our back court. I'm beginning to like our trio of guards even though they have a lot to learn about playing as a team.
Our front court really wont advance much till we see Brase and Lard added. Brase for the already mentioned calm he brings to the team and Lard for rim protection and depth.
I do hope we see Talley and Beverly find their roll. Solid roll players if they can dial in on their strengths and not overplay their limits.
We'll win, but importance in this game isn't in the score. It's in development.

UW Milwaukee is more guard oriented which plays into our strength right now. Missouri was the opposite. We're at home, so we should win by 5-10. This team got better as the game went on Friday, and I expect them to get better game by game this season.
We should win, but the chance of losing isn’t as small as you’d like.

Milwaukee barely beat a division 3 team in their first game. They aren’t a offensive juggernaut and this game is at Hilton. Step back from the ledge. The clones will win big.
The size of Missouri created issues for him in the lane and at the rim. I think he will score or get fouled much more often against other teams. Plus, I think he will adjust to the size and be better finishing against that size with experience. It was his first D1 game.
Is Lard pooping in Prohm's front yard or something? What is the issue here?
I'd guess something like 75-55 Iowa State. Some people just don't know how to actually analyze a game. Yeah our offense was bad, but like I've said multiple times you can see the talent. The issue is the chemistry. Same on defense. I also thought Mizzou got a lot of the bounces.
I don’t think anyone really knows for sure.
It’s fairly minor apparently, yet still concerning when you consider Lard should be chomping to play in a real game.
Solomon has to be saying, "Brohm, give me a little help from somebody my size or bigger out here."
Well let me just say.....when the cyclones start losing to the wisky-millies of the world, inside Hilton Coliseum, its time to FIRE Phrom and get a new coach....final score...ISU 79 and wiskymillie 69......Go Cyclones
