This will be a tough road game. Gotta keep Toppin off the offensive boards. I saw him play in The Pit a couple times last year and the dude is a badass.
ISU - 79
Tech - 74

Lubbock is not the end of the world but you can see it from there....
Looks like this game is a coin toss with ISU picked as a 1.5 point favorite and a 51% chance to win.
We don't match up very well with them as our trapping/no middle defense tends to allow open 3's while Tech's offense spreads the court with high volume 3 point shooters. However, Tech will have challenges defending us at the other end of the court.
Tech has one of the best home court advantages in country. Yeah, they were upset at home by UCF, but UCF had an extremely hot shooting night.
This game feels a lot like the Iowa game. If we can make some tweaks to our defense to contain Tech's perimeter shooting (like we did against Iowa in the second half), I believe we'll come out on top. If we can't do this, I'm afraid it will be a long trip home.

My prediction is when your entire team is shooting 40% on three-pointers, driven largely by one guy shooting 50% who is a career ~40% shooter, you are shooting out of your a$$ and are due for a regression to the mean.
Gonna be a buzzer beater with either CuJo or Gilbert hitting the game winner.
Big win. About a 5 point lead with 12 minutes left and go on one of our beautiful runs to put the game away and emerge as an awesome double digit win on the road. 82-66
Keep it close until the closing minutes and pull away with superior guard play. Can’t afford to fall way behind.
If ISU is down like 5 with no foul issues at half that would be in the 'I'll take it' colulmn.
Hang in there Rulzzz my prayers are with you I’m nervous about this game the clones pull out a dinger 85-79
