I think we lead most of the way and then let it slip away at the end.

KU 78
ISU 73

We clearly have a better starting 5 and their bench played 29 minutes total yesterday. Not sure where you think they have an advantage at to think we're gonna lose by 10 in Hilton
One game samples are never good.

They definitely have more depth, particularly if Greene is healthy. Who do you think is more impacted by fouls? Imo their starting 5 is a more complete two-way unit with Morris being our only true advantage and Self is one of the best in the game.

A prediction does not represent the full range of reasonably plausible outcomes. I don't think a close game with ISU losing by 10 at the end is the singular most likely scenario, but with the short turnaround and several guys Self can throw at Georges it is my prediction for tomorrow.

McKay clearly has an advantage over whoever Self trots out there next to Ellis and it isn't even close. Sure they have more depth and yeah depth is overrated. They start two PG's, one of which is mediocre, and a below average big

Since the wife has already found an alternative activity for tomorrow night, I predict the dog and I will make ALL THE FREAKIN' NOISE WE WANT TO and that ISU will win, 83-79. Niang and Thomas each top 20 and Monte has double digit assists.

Saw Prohm in Church last Sunday morning and we won Monday night against OU. Saw him again in church this Sunday... so we are going to win. If it works.....

I dont either team could win by less than 3. It may be a close game with a minute left, but whoever is winning by that point will pull away with free throws.

Well, ISU could only pull away with free throws if Nader of Thomas take them.

I have a bad feeling about Diallo on McKay. I know he's raw and not ready yet but I think Self might throw him at McKay had and see if he can get him in foul trouble.

Considering that we've lost by double digits once in Hilton Coliseum since the Greg McDermott era (and it was an overtime game)...you'd either have to be trolling, severely underestimating our team, going out of your way to be negative, or dumb to predict a double digit loss in Hilton.

Nobody with any common sense should think that is the most likely scenario.
