Damn, after WVU again. And all the ESPN channels already have games on them.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Game won't be on until 10 minutes through the first half.

Let's go State! Big opportunity tonight. Would be an awesome win.

I really feel ISU gave away the eariler Baylor Matchup in Hilton. I fully expect ISU to be locked in and ready to get payback for that L. It'll be a exciting close game which the spread and recent series history has shown us. Though BU matchup zone has traditionally given ISU issues, I think the zone offense/passing has improved from earlier this season. Niang/Thomas hitting from 3 will be key. I'm also looking for Burton development to be the difference from the last game and ISU to pull of the difficult road win.

Go STATE!!! Beat the BU Cubbies!

I sadly will be missing this game because I have an exam at 8pm on campus :skeptical:

but it I should catch the second half, and I think WVU is before us for both reasons. They are eastern and we are a closer in seeding 25 matchup.

Maybe this time we will switch defenses BEFORE Baylor goes 45-45 on mid-range jumpers. I've never seen a team make that high a percentage of those shots, and we did nothing to throw them off. We're at our best when we switch things up and throw off their timing a little bit, IMO. I hope Prohm comes up with a decent game plan.

the more state fans I talk to the more confident they seem which makes me think the game will go the other way

Our team is broke. Twirlybirds by 18.

Any thoughts on whats broke?

What I noticed from the box scores is that in the 3 losses (out of the last 4 games), you've continued to pound the offensive glass successfully, but your assist/TO ratio is almost even - you had been leading the country in assist rate, you've given up almost 50% 3pt shooting and you've sent your opponents to the line a ton.
