With our entire lineup available we are 20-1 I think? I voted yes especially at home
Do we beat BYU?

The Arizona to Arizona games was our redemption arc, a heros story. We back up
Hahaha, byu does scare me more than KState. I can say that!
Yea they are red hot and the guys better be ready
I think that trapping at all vs byu would be the absolute dumbest thing we could do. Not that TJ won’t be stubborn enough to try it. They have a ton of shooters and are really good at swinging the ball around and with skip passes. To me, trapping would be the easiest way to lose the game.
Oooh, I like this scenario MUCH better. We win out and KS does us a solid by knocking off Zona on senior night. We move up to #3 seed which gets us KU instead of BYU.
Trapping is in the arsenal of defensive schemes TJ has used and will use against BYU. However, they're not going to just come out a trap every possession. As this season has progressed, it's been used much more selectively. Yes, it can result in open looks, but also in TOs and runout. And it can get the opponent sped up.
I voted yes. I’m happy that BYU is playing at their best, but winning at Hilton against a full strength ISU is a tall task.
They would have to be 100% locked in from three, and that is hard to do game after game.
As an aside, I think BYU and ISU need to be each other’s main rival outside of Iowa and Utah respectively. Mostly because with Hilton Colosseum vs the Marriott Center it’s too good of a fit to not be.

Meh, they looked really dangerous last year also and then the 6th place A-10 team took care of them pretty easily in the tournament.
The problem is we don't need the other team to turn us over......we turn the ball over just on our own merit
This game obviously doesn't mean ISU still can't put together a March run but it does have 'can they be overall sharp two games in a row?' vibes imo.
Are we pretty much locked into either the 4 or 5 seed against BYU in KC? It seems a rematch in a week is inevitable, it's just a matter of who gets to play a team like UCF or Arizona St first.
I just don't want Richie Saunders to go off on us. I have an unnatural dislike for him
