ISU MBB 2012-13: Game-by-game predictions

[cyclones500]

College basketball season is here! Anyone who has a game-by-game prediction for Iowa State, have at it.

I’ll start. Nothing radical about my guesses, so I included scores for each game, just for fun. (The “fun†will come when I’m completely wrong in every case)

:twitcy:

Southern — W 80-63 (1-0)
Alabama A&M — W 82-57 (2-0)
Campbell — W 77-64 (3-0)
North Carolina A&T — W 85-56 (4-0)
vs. Cincinnati — L 72-60 (4-1)
vs. Oregon — W 75-68 (5-1)
BYU — W 76-73 (6-1)
Florida Gulf Coast — W 91-70 (7-1)
@Iowa — L 83-81 2OT (7-2)
Nebraska-Omaha — W 94-55 (8-2)
vs. Drake (Big 4 Classic) — W 74-72 (9-2)
@UMKC — W 81-63 (10-2)
Yale — W 79-58 (11-2)
@Kansas — L 83-70 (11-3, 0-1 Big 12)
Texas — L 74-70 (11-4, 0-2)
West Virginia — W 76-72 (12-4, 1-2)
@TCU — W 68-63 (13-4, 2-2)
@Texas Tech — W 65-54 (14-4, 3-2)
Kansas State — W 77-69 (15-4, 4-2)
@Oklahoma State — L 80-75 OT (15-5, 4-3)
Baylor — W 84-73 (16-5, 5-3)
Oklahoma — W 76-67 (17-5, 6-3)
@Kansas State — L 70-65 (17-6, 6-4)
@Texas — L 88-77 (17-7, 6-5)
TCU — W 80-66 (18-7, 7-5)
@Baylor — L 82-75 (18-8, 7-6)
Texas Tech — W 78-57 (19-8, 8-6)
Kansas — W 79-75 (20-8, 9-6)
@Oklahoma — L 72-68 (20-9, 9-7)
Oklahoma State — W 75-74 (21-9, 10-7)
@ West Virginia — L 69-65 (21-10, 10-8)

I see potential for a better outcome, but I sense a slugfest coming in this year’s Big 12. I took a modest-realistic route.

we beat OU in the first round 73-62, pretty much sealing the NCAA birth (21-11, 9-9)
lose to Kansas in a close game 66-70, (21-12,9-9)

We get a 12 seed and face Gonzaga in the first round. We win 87-80 in OT. (22-12,9-9) Clyburn scores 35 and gets in the spotlight for the draft.

We play Syracuse next and win 74-65 (23-12,9-9)

ISU is in the sweet 16 and faces Ohio St., ISU loses 63-80, ending the season at (23-13,9-9)

I like how you extended it to conference placement and postseason. I wasn't motivated enough to complete the scenario :spinny:

 

[cyclones500]

i believe we did this last year, where's that thread at?

I'm sure we did, but I haven't found it with Search (yet).

I do still have a prediction/reality file from 2011-12 (although I'm not sure if my projected list was the version I posted on CF last fall).

 

[cyclones500]

I admire your trap-game angle on FGC — I felt "chalky" about the non-conference.

I also anticipate at least one clunker, either an unexpected loss or a close-call against a seemingly "inferior" opponent. Just wasn't sure where to put it.

Three things:

1. That was my predicted score for the Southern game.

2. Conference opener at Kansas sucks.

3. In your scenario for the conference tourney we would play WVU, 1 and 2 seed play bye, 3v10, 4v9, 5v8.

i agree, opening up at KU sucks BUT it'll be nice to get a marquee home game late in the year, just in case we're a bubble team. Last years schedule getting Baylor late helped out big time.

Your scenario is closer to my Positive Outlook (what I think the team could accomplish, for lack of better explanation).

Notable difference with mine, regarding Global Sports — you have ISU beating Cincy then losing to UNLV; I have it as lose in semi, win consolation. I think a lot of us anticipate being able to gauge expectations based on that 2-game series. Could go 2-0, could go 0-2.

As far as postseason, if ISU did reach 4 or 5 seed level, I could totally see it playing out as you envisioned.

A lot of CF fans would be nerve-wracking about the 4-13 upset potential of ISU-SDSU. (I'd probably be among them :smile

Always nice to the Hawkeyes around here.
We'll win by 30+

 

[ISU1294]

We won't lose to Iowa, our big men will eat Woodbery alive and our guards will run them off the floor. Just cant have an off night and we should win by 10-15 easily.
