Another angle: Nick Weiler-Babb avenging the loss suffered by his injured brother. If I recall correctly, we played 6 guys, including Bubu Palo, in the second half of that game. We’ll need a Final Four appearance to set things right, but I think it’s payback time.

Chris ended up hurting his ankle that game. Don’t think he came back in after he got hurt.

??? OSU finished 8-12 in the Big Ten. If we're a 6, this is the best possible 11 we could possibly get...

Yeah, just looking at teamrankings.com, and Ohio State was projected as a long, long shot to even make the tournament. If we can handle their big man without fouling too much (or doubling and getting way out of position), we should be fine.

Yeah I didn’t mean to make it sound like Wesson is unstoppable. This is a game Iowa State should win. However Wesson getting it going is one of their paths to victory for sure.

Seems like a good game to drop the zone here and there and see what it does to them. We were really effective with it in the Big 12 tournament, and had more shooters to worry about there.

We have three bigs we can throw at Wesson. I even told our group on Saturday when Lard got his second foul and Jake already had two, to put in Conditt. We had 10 point lead with 6 minutes left. He played great for not seeing a ton of minutes all season. They will have 15 fouls to give. Might as well make the most of it!!

Wesson weighs at least 50 more pounds than Lawson. Bad matchup for Conditt.

Wesson also coming off a recent injury... potential for him not to be 100% up to speed. (Not that he's fast anyways... very stumbly bumbly big man).

I'll be disappointed if we don't beat this team by double digits. We are significantly better.
