Point distribution is interesting. ISU's offense gets twice as many points from 2ptrs vs 3ptrs. For WVU, it's an almost even distribution.

How well ISU can guard the 3 (while not completely giving up the paint) will probably determine the outcome of this game.

Also: I never would have guessed ISU was below average in bench minutes.
I don't think West Virginia will be able to handle our bigs down low or our ability to drive to the hoop. WV will knock down some 3's and have a lead or cut into ours at times but as usual, they'll get worn down in the second half and we'll stretch a lead out in the final 5 minutes.

I was just typing almost the exact same thing so I’ll just reply that I agree with this.

John Denver isn’t even singing about West Virginia. But I wouldn’t expect West Virginian’s to understand a map.

I'm worried about this game. I have bet on the other team every game so far and it's been working out great for the Cyclones (not my wallet though). I'm out of state today so can't bet. If we lose it's my fault. Or the dumb gambling laws.

If you bet on WVU then you know that we are 6.5pt favorites, Torvik has us only 2pt favorites. Now neither are always right but Vegas likes money.

Is DeVries still out?
Javon Small is playing and playing like the best player in the big 12.

They are also pulling out all the stops, digging up the ghost of Jerry West and naming this Jerry West Day, and breaking out some new alt uniforms.
