ISU +12 vs KU

[RezClone]

Have you watched KU this year? They’re really not that good from what I’ve seen. I’m sure they’ll get better as the season goes on.

Unfortunately, I have come to recognize Ochai Agbaji and Christian Braun are as good as anybody they've had going back a while. Self consistently grows very good players into elite players and those two seem to be making that jump themselves this year.

1-5 conference start. Sticking to it.

I think we need to hold KU below 65. If we do that, I think we have a real chance.

That +475 money line is tasty.

unfortunately i'm with you

schedule get easier on the back half and especially the last 5/6 games.

am I the only person who thinks we win this game???

You probably are one of the few. I will say ISU usually plays Kansas on the road better than some other road opponents for whatever reason. Even our worst teams seemed to keep it close a lot longer than you might expect.

I'm sure the players/coaches and Cyclone Jerry do.
We CAN win this game but I certainly don't think we will.

Fun fact: I partied with Braun's Dad a couple of times back in the day.

It's obvious we got caught looking ahead to the Kansas game when we played OU.

Kansas must be destroyed.

Easy money.

Kind of feel like this is the type of group that's going to take the way they've played the last couple games personally and come out ****** off. Not sure that being ****** will lead to sufficient offense to win, but I think it's a close game.

I think we can win this game but it won't be by scoring 83 points.

If we are to win it would be something more like 67-64. KU has shown they can go cold on offense for stretches

I saw a few of these posts yesterday when Bama was getting points.

Caesar’s has a super boost at +100 to bet ISU +14.5.

KU coming off a loss, at home against a team that struggles scoring. I don't think it is too much assuming Martin is healthy. Maybe the most difficult team to guard in the conference when all are healthy and playing well because you can get 20 point games out of either Martin, Agbaji, Braun, Wilson or McCormack. Especially when McCormack is playing well. Because it forces you to try and double but then just leaves their shooters open. Also they play extremely fast. ISU is going to need to get back on defense on every play.

Phog Allen is between an 8-10 point swing when you factor in the refs. Fans usually forget this until the game starts.

Just went to 13.

It's crazy to think how much the expectations have changed for this team since coming into the season.

I guess my blatant homerism wasn't obvious.

Is Perry Ellis starting? That could be the difference in the spread.
