So the line I'm seeing is KU -1. Given that it's a quasi-home game for them (though half the crowd will be cardinal and gold) and the home team generally gets a 3 point cushion, one could argue we're a 2 pt. fave. What say yous? O/U is 144 which I think is pretty light.

I’ve been seeing ISU -1

Wow, crazy. Can the Clones overcome the 5 point CSP disadvantage? We'll see. I like the matchup unless Self comes out in a 2-3 zone.

We played the best team in the conference. They played the worst.

Details, details...

I believe I read on twitter this morning it opened with KU as 2.5 pt fav and has been bet down to 1. Could be a pick'em by game time at that rate. your right that about the quasi home court is usually 3 but the sharps must like ISU to move that much.

Regardless, Kansas must be destroyed. THT is goin' ball out.

Yeah I have a Clone vibe about this game for whatever reason. 84-77 win w/ the over.

The above can not be stated too many times.....

Bumping! Destroy Kansas!

You are on a roll. Good work. This one was my favorite.

The effort and intensity this team has played with in KC makes me proud to be a Cyclone fan. They have really come together as a team and are well positioned for the Dance. Beating KU would be the icing on the cake.

It looks to me like both Babb and Jake picked it up a notch. Wigginton had kind of turned it up a few games before imo. I think that Haliburton dunk over Diarra and Sneed could really catapult him into being a more active offensively.

KU Player:
“Just knowing that we let the streak slip on our hands, we don’t want that hanging on us,” Grimes said. “We don’t want to look back at another Big 12 championship that we could’ve had. So we definitely want to go out there and get a win.”

So much for it not mattering.

Uhhh... what? The streak did end. It is hanging on you. The regular season is over. WTF.

I think he was saying for them to not when any conference championships (regular season or tournament).

I don’t think there’s a bookie in the world that would give Kansas a quasi-home court advantage here.

Hopefully it is an entertaining game tonight and everyone comes out of it healthy. Good luck, Cyclone fans!

I think the boys in the desert are too smart to assume it’s a home game for KU. They know what goes on in KC.

This is the finals match-up/atmosphere we wanted. Should be a fun one.
