*** Official #5 Kansas State vs #12 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[CyPunch]

Blew a 12 point halftime lead in Hilton against these guys last year. Let's not do that again

We rallied when Jaz went down. We rally if Caleb is out.
ISU wins by 5.

No Grill makes me really nervouse, especially since those KSU guards are going to be a handful. I just don’t know guys.

ISU by 25.

I would propose that whoever is guarded by Markquis Nowell get posted up and fed the ball every trip down the floor.

Do any other Cyclone fans want to offer any possible game plans without Caleb in the line up?

Graphic with a player that won't play??

Junk yard physical muddy basketball. Slow them down punch them in the mouth and let the fans and magic do the rest.

Agreed - without Grill I think we need to up the intensity on defense.

The lower the score, the slower the game, the better ISU's chances for a W.

FYI Draftkings has a +25% boost to any bet with KSU vs ISU. So I took KSU to cover 5.5 points at +113. If we win, I'm happy, if we lose I use money to dry my tears.

I took KSU on the moneyline to make sure I don't have to cheer against a bucket at the end. You're either first or you're last.

Absolutely true. Did you know that we've given up more than 67 points (in regulation) just twice this year? 71 to UConn and 75 to Iowa.

In our 7 BigXII games we've given up between 61 and 67 points in all but the TTU beat down (50). The defense is very consistent - just need the offense to show up!

After that loss, I thought we were about toast for a tournament bid. Still had 6 games remaining, but next up was at TCU (which already had won at Hilton) + at KSU + at BU.

Beat the Pussies.

Pound them.

 

[NWICY]

Thanks Rulzzz!! GO CLONES!! Beat the Wildcats!!

Are those rotated with various key roster members throughout the season? Maybe Grill already was "scheduled" in rotation and didn't see need to swap someone. (Totally guessing here)

Pretty sure we're over thinking it but it's totally a TJ thing to put him up there before Grill having a big game.

I could live with that.

Saw their shoot around pictures from this morning and Caleb appeared to be a full participant… hoping that bodes well!
