Cy-Hawk Predictions

Something along the line of what happened two years ago. We put on a clinic most of the game, and the suckeyes come back and give us a little scare towards the end in garbage time.
 
Iowa State: 91
Iowa: 87

No way any team ends up in the 70s.

Gawd, I'm so psyched for this game I can't concentrate; Friday can't come soon enough and I'll be worthless at work all day.
 
Six Clones foul out and Bubu, receiving a last minute reprieve from ISU, takes the court and leads Clones to victory in the last overtime.:radar::jimlad::goofy:

Acutally, this game need a name.

Showdown at HC Corral.
Thrilla in Ames.
Battle of the Fs. (Fred/Fran)
Match for All the marbles.
BIG vs B12.


Your ideas?
 
Reasoning?
I’ve thought for the past couple of months that Iowa would beat us, so I’m not going to waver now even though we are way ahead of where I thought we would be.*
*
I think Iowa gets out in transition in this game. *Iowa seems to get to the FT line pretty handedly especially White and Uthoff. *Both are very good free throw shooters as well. *I ultimately think that they get our bigs in foul trouble. (Niang, Ejim, Houge) *If ISU does win, I believe it will be because these 3 were able to stay out of foul trouble. *If they are able to get our bigs in foul trouble, it will be a long night for ISU. *Iowa’s depth is impressive. *While their bench may not be the best players, they all contribute and have certain areas that they are good at.
*
I’m not worried about Iowa’s 3 point shooting, at all. *ISU needs Kane to have a monster night IMO. *He needs to get into the lane on the drive, as well as the post up. *I don’t think anyone on Iowa can guard him down low unless Marble steps up. *This game will be interesting with match ups. *While Iowa does have size, Hoiberg exploits that size all the time with matchups and mismatches. *Ejim hitting 3’s is big as well as he can drive the UI defenders away from the basket, same as Niang.*
*
I think it is back and forth all game with Iowa hitting FT’s late. *I hope I am wrong. *This game can’t get here soon enough, Hilton will be INSANE.
 
Iowa State wins 92-83

This will be one of those games where it isn't a blowout but the outcome isn't really in question because we have a solid 10 point lead the whole game.
 
We shouldn't be too confident. After all, it is Iowa's superbowl.

I was never worried about losing to Michigan, even when we thought they were gonna be better than they are. I'm a bit concerned about the hawks. No overtime. Final score 87-81. I don't know who wins.

DOT called. They want their license plate back.
 
I know it's selfish, but I hope Clones win by 30 and lead from the opening tip so I don't have to have a stroke during the game.
