Iowa State at West Virginia predictions.

[DrT]

This Cyclone team wants and needs BIG time payback against a WV team that came into Ames and virtually humiliated them...while they were still asleep! Monte's maurauders are not asleep any longer! Let's not forget that there is a LOT to play for here as well!

Cyclones 88
Keepin' it in the family 86

West Virginia has been a bit of a Jekyl and Hyde team at home. Lost to Oklahoma, destroyed Baylor and Kansas. Nothing will surprise me in this one

I'd only be surprised to see ISU get blown out or something.

They've been playing in a way that's going to at least give them a chance.

Solomon only played 3 minutes in the first meeting, and Naz had 5 TO's. I think Solomon will play 20 and Naz will have 2 or less TO's. Cyclones keep rolling, and win 82-78.

This is a homer pick, but not too out there. Wouldn't be surprised if they win, but it'll be closer than the meeting in Hilton. I do not want to see Okie State next Thursday, but if we do oh well. Regardless of the next 2 game results, I don't think we'll end up less than a 7 seed in the dance.

Monte with a floater for 2nd place 81-79.

Iowa State loses a tough, close game but Texas makes things right in the world and beats Baylor on Saturday and we get the 3 seed.

The Cyclone universe might explode if that scenario were to happen.

West Virginia 79, Iowa State 72.

Sounds like Ahmad will go, which will make Huggins happy. I saw a quote from him when asked about the need to get Ahmad back. He said he needed Ahmad on the glass because "Dax [Miles] thinks he's going to catch some type of disease inside the three point line."

Clones play loose and win 76-73

 

[cyson]

US in a close one. Our guards eat their press.

 

[Cyclonepride]

I think we'll hold down on the turnovers and play some of our better defense for the year, but may be not be quite "on". Cyclones in a low scoring win, 66-65.

 

[I-stateTheTruth]

Did you mean F__k West Virginia?

The Fighting Prohmans 79
The Married Cousins 76

I don't think they actually go to the trouble of marrying.

 

[SCyclone]

I honestly can't make up my mind. The homer in me says this is the game all 4 seniors click and we have a ton of fun for once. But the realist in me says Huggy bear isn't going to let his team sleepwalk through senior night, not with a #2 seed on the line. It should be worthy of prime time, at least.

OK, I decided. 77-74.

 

[RedDog]

We catch them in a senior night funk. ISU 82 Errs 79

 

[knowlesjam]

Good guys 77-73. Naz with a dagger 3 to put the game away late...Nebraska Furniture Mart delivers a truck load of couches to replace those burned in anger...

 

[Clonefan32]

All I know is that as a fan, after the roller coaster ride that has been this year I'm glad to have a game where the feeling going into it is "sweet if we win, but if we lose, meh..."

Something funny I noticed as I went to record the game, most college basketball games get a 2 hour time slot on ESPN. It seems they finally learned that that's simply impossible for West Virginia to do, and gave our game a 2 1/2 hour time slot. Too bad they never figured that out when our game was following a WVU game.

Mine shows 6-8 still.
