Another huge game on Tuesday. BYU is scary and was a bad matchup for us last year. Feel this is going to be a frustrating game where we are behind 3-10pts for the majority. MUST value possessions and shoot well. Remaining optimistic we find a way to overcome and win in the last 2 min. I’m going to say 78-74 ISU.
Do we beat BYU?

Totally depends on how each team can shot the 3. If we are hitting them at the pace we were last night, we will be fine, we go out and struggle making shots and BYU hits their usual dozen we may be in trouble.
BYU playing well right now. They play a lot of guys.
Still when ISU has all their guys the only team to beat them is Auburn. The only team to play them somewhat close in Hilton was Marquette?

This is a great chance for ISU to have a challenge to stop a peaking team in their tracks.
This game is essentially for the 4 seed, and a double bye.
Might need to adjust our hyper aggressive traps that tend to lead to open 3 point looks for the other team. BYU will likely be the best 3 pt shooting team we play all year.
They had 10 points in the first 12 mins of the game against WV and still scored 77. They can score.

If we play defense like we did against arizona and play smart we win. If we have 16 to 20 turnovers very good chance we lose
One good thing is they don’t cause many turnovers (#176 in NCAA) !
Agree with others here. We have to limit the turnovers. Live ball turn overs will result in transition offense and likely good looks from three for BYU which we cannot afford.
We still have only one loss full strength which is encouraging. But still really hard not to acknowledge the apparent issues.
Crazy to think that we started 7-1 in conference play and could end up 12-8 if we don’t take care of business this week.

We can play with grit and grind out out style and hopefully be ahead by a couple of possessions in the last mins or we can completely lose our minds and play like we did vs KSU except it'll be against a good team.
BYU is a bad matchup. Space you out and shoot 3's. Good thing they don't have this year is the roly poly center that picked us apart with his passing.
We've been pretty good at causing our own, unfortunately.
Yes, Cujo gets an extra couple days of rest to recover, Keshon plays smarter and we win by 7.
