*** Official #3 IOWA STATE vs Iowa Game(Day) Thread ***

Really don't want to lose this one. Wouldn't hear the end of it. That said, it is 100% a possibility

I won't be able to watch due to work but I hate this game so it works out.

A ten point loss would be annoying but wouldn't shock me.

This is Iowa's Miracle on Ice moment and what's happened before won't matter.

ISU's due for a clunker and what's been their strengths (inside game, Gilbert driving) will be off tonight and what Iowa's known for (soft, no inside game, no guards) will magically work tonight.

I get this feeling also. when it rains it pours mentality
Big12 CCG, Womens game, this game all in 5 days.

I have said this over and over, but Iowa shoots well and they will win.
I think how the game is officiated will determine the outcome. Iowa needs a tight whistle tonight.
They need to see Gilbert on the bench for "touch fouls"

Y'all need to nut up. They will spank Iowa.

I can see Fran having someone do something directly to Tamin's shoulder too.

Let's flush last night's game with a beat down, please.

ISU 80
Iowa 62

Iowa could very well win; we could very well spank them.

I'm expecting a close game either way, especially on the road, but I do not care for this pre-emptive "We're gonna lose!" mentality from some fans on this thread. FFS people, have some faith!

Let's save our clunker game for another team and destroy this team. I hate them, Hate their players, just everything about them. Sandforts little try hard routine is so annoying to me.

I suspect Iowa will try to neutralize our advantage in the paint by dumping it in to Freeman and having him go to work on Jackson and jefferson. If refs give a friendly whistle, could be a long night

In an unprecedented move Iowa is petitioning to have the same officiating crew from last night do this one.

After last night's game, I hope our men take the Hawks behind the woodshed tonight

Freeman is a 53.6% FT shooter. If they are going to foul, definitely foul him

Only reason I have any nervousness would be because it's Iowa. When you cover up the name, they're an unathletic team that doesn't play defense who relies solely on making 12+ threes a game. I've said this before, but the key to this game is within the first 4-8 minutes. They're going to come out absolutely chucking and if we can sustain the first part of momentum in the game, I think we win. If they come out and go nuclear and we put our heads down, they will win.

For what I can see the betting odds are ISU favored by 5. Many “experts” are saying take Iowa +5.
We are unquestionably the better team. But you never know about a rivalry game on the road. I will remain nervous.

The line is currently 6.5 and I'm leaning on taking the points even though all the rational thinking says otherwise.
