But no one will know because it is pitch black (having shot the light out) and the Big 12 declares TTU the winner.
Tech Game Predictions

I don't want Iowa winning any games.
I could see the final score being 66-63 with either team winning.
It's hard to imagine this game being as low-scoring as the first match-up. Tech likely won't shoot 40% from the line again in their own building and will want to avenge an earlier loss to us. However, we are also a better offensive team now than during that first meeting and will likely shoot better than 30% from the field as well. Having Gabe, Enaruna and Kunc in or near double figures would be enormous.
In the first meeting, Tech made us chew up so much of the shot clock 22 feet away from the rim. I think we need to drive a LOT more and not rely on the high ball screen with Conditt as much. If we're going to turn it over, I'd much rather have it happen driving to the rim than on a contested pass from the wing to the top of the key.
They guard so aggressively and Conditt struggled with that role. He isn't the strongest passer and doesn't look comfortable dribbling out of pressure when they over-pursue. If we choose to still run that offense, Enaruna is much better suited to be up there in those situations.
Hitting threes always helps, but if they aren't falling, I really hope we go inside and try to get to the line and win another rock fight.

Conditt is one of the few guys with a positive A/T ratio. I didn't see the Texas game, but Conditt's stats look pretty good with 4 rebounds, 4 assists and only 2 turnovers in 20 minutes.
I like the fact that Conditt doesn't take bad shots, handles the ball well and gets others involved. He also alters a lot of opponent's shots around the rim. We definitely need him to keep doing what he's doing.

At times it looks like our offense isn't necessarily built to get him a lot of shots. I understand him setting up on the elbow to pull his defender away from the rim but it seems difficult for him to get scoring opportunities in our half court sets.
I don’t think so. The guy is 65. He would have had a shot by now if he was the guy.
There were several times during the Texas game where he was 1-on-1 with his man in the low post and put his hand up to indicate he had positioning if they wanted to pass it down to him and it never happened. Can't argue with the results I guess but you're right they don't seem to be running anything for him atm.
