Cyclones +10.5 @ TCU
- Thread starter jtownclone
- Start date
You may have missed the article about how well Solomon guarded him on the last two (of three) match ups we had with them. He ate us alive in the first one, and Solomon held him in check in the latter two. I wouldn't mess with that.
Will be interesting to see how it plays out.
The implied probability of TCU winning the game based on the point spread is 90.3 percent.
Go ISU!
Solomon played three minutes in the first match up. Vlad lit up Iowa State, but not Solomon.
I went back and looked, Bowie only played 16 minutes in that game and Holden didn't play. So for more than half of the game Iowa State was playing Burton or Weiler-Babb at "center"
I knew Young didn't get minutes in that first game (or early on in general), but I didn't realize it was that bad. I just remember Brodziansky looking like Lebron against us. Insert Young and his numbers were cut in half.
The implied probability of TCU winning the game based on the no vig Vegas moneyline of -471 is 82.5%.
Brodziansky can shoot the three, but he does his work in the paint. Young will be the matchup as he is clearly our best all-around post defender.
Bane didn't start last game. It was Fisher, Robinson, Williams, Noi, Brodziansky. Noi is 6'7" and shoots well from 3. This is a tough matchup no matter how you slice it. We have to contest threes and grab rebounds.

Just announced Fisher is out tonight.
Out indefinitely. Knee injury. Tough start to his career. He seems like a good kid with a ton of talent.

Wow. He's huge for them. He's been their EOG guy. Alex Robinson will likely start in his absence. He averages the same amount of minutes, distributes the ball well, but doesn't shoot or drive as well as Fisher.
I can't say I'm upset for our sake, but I'm a fan on the kid. The recent story on him was really cool.
Interesting to see what happens to the line now. If it doesn't move much then we know what Vegas thinks of our team.
My guess is that is solely from public betting. It should continue going down. Fisher being out is a pretty big deal, to the point where I think this game could be in ISU's favor.
Gonna play devils advocate here a little. Yes, I'll preface this by sayingFisher is a very big loss for them.
But looking at their stats they still have 4 others that average double figures, another at 9 ppg, and 2 more over 7ppg.
They certainly have some options.
