I Paul Janssen reffing? If so, I may need to rethink my prediction. I think we win going away. Mizzou has some horses...just not many of them.
****Mizzou Predictions****
- Thread starter Clones21
- Start date
I think we win. They have a history of being a terrible road team. Only won one away conference game last season (unfortunately, it was against us), and have only played two true road games thus far this season. They were losing at half but came back to beat an 8-8 ODU team by 7, and got destroyed in the Octagon of Gloom the other day.
Gonna need to wear them down and get them into foul trouble inside. Another dominant performance from Royce would be huge.
I'll go with State 73, Mizz 68.
That said, I am a bit worried we'll get ourselves all hyped up only to have things come crashing down around us like the Texas football game...
Still a lot available on Cyclones.com. 1,009, if my addition is correct. That equals a paid attendance of 13,347. Might sell a few hundred more Tuesday and Wednesday, and in walk-up sales. Doubt it sells out, though.
Should be a good crowd as far as actual attendance though. Probably 12,000+ actually there, with a full CA. Get off to a good start Wednesday night, and Hilton will rock like it hasn't in many, many years. Would be fitting for the Magic to be reborn in the final game against the opponent we played when it made its first appearance.

I predicted losses in first two, and it seemed to work better than the opposite (knock on wood).
So I hope I didn't jinx anything.
Missouri 79, ISU 71
Prove me wrong, Cyclones!

While I agree we need to go low, I hope RW dunks it and then gets fouled. Otherwise it will be the old, hacka shaq. I don't have faith in his free-throws carrying us.
One team that can't play Hack-a-Shaq is Missouri. They only have 7 players available to them so collecting fouls intentionally is a very bad idea.
I was under the impression that they only had 7 scholarship players. They still have scrubs they can sub in and out at the end of the game (or even at other times for that matter) to hack him and send him to the line.
Ask Tim Floyd how this works.:spinny:
I know it's just one person's opinion but how in the world can you justify that prediction? We always seem to play Missouri tough at home, even when we've had down years. Take into account you have 2 teams coming off completely opposite outcomes, the game being played at Hilton with the students back (it was loud last week even without them), and Missouri's roster limited.....I can see us losing but by 15??
as this game is getting closer I'm getting a lot more excited for it, but am starting to feel like the Texas football game, were getting national attention and some votes in the top 25 and than theres a big let down, hopefully this is different, going 3-0 into Allen field house on saturday with tons of confidence after beating a top 10 at home could be a huge confidence boost for our guys
