confident about this one.

This is like the heyday of heavyweight boxing, except there’s a fight every night.

 

[werdnamanhill]

Based on the fact that the previous meeting was basically peach baskets and sticks, this one will probably be a barnburner

Opened this thread thinking how the hell did this game make it to Big Monday? Then realized the game was on Tuesday. Then I couldn't believe Rulz screwed up and posted the game thread a day early. Then I finally realized today is Tuesday. Three day weekends mess me up!

We need to find ways to drive past their extended defense and then make smart decisions from there. Hopefully the refs will start calling the holding on our cutters, as teams have been doing that the last three games (finally started calling that late against UT).

Yes, I believe we have to attack driving to the basket to draw fouls or kick out for an open shooter.

You probably should just sit this one out...

I'm getting too old for 8pm games. Looks like another crappy Wednesday in my future.

 

[ZuriCyclone]

This will be a tougher game then Kansas in AFH.

 

[NorthCyd]

It's about impossible to score on Tech in the paint. Hopefully ISU can keep hitting their outside shots or it could get ugly.

I'm seeing line of about 7.5 Tech ... seems high (knock on wood) -- But KU was something like, what was it, 12-ish? I could be off on that, seems like it was in that area.

OU was like 9.5 (damn near covered that comfortably, but, then ... couldn't).

 

[CascadeClone]

confident about this one.

I am not confident. Tech coming off a loss will be motivated, at home, and has another guy or two I think.

That said, I felt exact same at KU and that was tighter a frogs sphincter. So who knows. Would be a shatteringly big W if they can get it.

 

[CYEATHAWK]

This will be a tougher game then Kansas in AFH.

Tech will not have the luxury of having 3 extra players on the floor like KU does every home game. Not that it will be easy, but I think it won't matter that they are a full strength.......the guys looked like they took another step forward against UT Saturday and IMO they will win this. Game will play out like the game at Creighton.

Everyone let’s get ready for some old time hockey eh.

 

[Gunnerclone]

Does RJ get the start tonight?

 

[NorthCyd]

I think the Jaz Colossus is my new favorite with TJ a close second. The only reason I didn't pick TJ first is because I think it is kind of cheating to use TJ's actual body in these.

Sagat is almost as jacked as TJ.

 

[CYedUp]

Im feeling a lot better now that GK is finding his stride. We are going to need some shooters to show up tonight since scoring in the paint is going to tough task.

 

[CyberJJJ]

Will be interesting to see how this game is called. Normally we may benefit from a game where they "let us play" and be more physical. This may an exception where we are better off if they call a bit tighter game to negate some of Tech's physicality.

I can’t wait to play WVU this season.

 

[EvilBetty]

Is tech back to full strength yet? I hope not

Pretty much 100%. I think our guys can cover, but I certainly won't be betting on this one pre-game.
