I can understand this spread. I think Iowa is a decent team. Woodbury and Gesell are good players. Olaseni is developing nicely. McCabe can step out and hit threes and I see Oglesby hitting 4 to 5 threes in this game. Basable and White are also playing well.

Iowa's press can be frustrating against teams that are sloppy with the ball. The clones are sloppy with the ball. I think the clones will lose this in a close game (due to turnovers/poor free-throw shooting).

I'm just happy that both programs are getting better and this game actually means something again.

I haven't watched Iowa play this year, so I'm just going to assume it'll be a dogfight and hope for the best.

Sue me for trying to bring some positive energy. I thought I'd turn over a new leaf and it doesn't work for me. Pessimism is more my style.

I lost much more money on the Drake game.

I think this game is a pick 'em more or less, ISU is better but the game is at Carver. Just hoping that we play well and catch a couple of breaks to get a W.

Why didn't you put everything you owned on ISU against Texas? After all, they had NO CHANCE.

Haha, just giving you a hard time. I actually felt the same way you did about that Texas game. Never thought we would lose that one. Also, that line for Drake was impossible to pass up.
