Boise's coach was an assistant for Few at Gonzaga for years, they do run a really good system but I'm betting we are just the tougher team. Too much Niang, Ejim and Hogue for them to handle.

Boise State returns their top 6 scores from an NCAA team last year. They average 85 ppg and run and gun. Boise State is no push over and we need to play well to win. It'll be a solid top 100, maybe top 50 win come March if Fred can pull it off. Glad we have a full day to scout and prepare and that the team got to watch them play against South Carolina.
The line will probably be ISU -5.5 or something like that. O/U of 300 lol

Akron and South Carolina will now play each other in back to back games.
Its been a bad trip for Saint Mary's... 0-2

For those that saw it...HELLUVA game by the Rainbow Warriors to upset St. Mary's. Great clutch shot and defense under 5 seconds.
Kind of OT: But look for our game Xmas night to start at 8 at the earliest, I believe there is 30 mins between games and the game before us starts at 5:30 which would mean it would get over around 7:30, also they will be back to back to back games, so any overtimes would push the start times back quite a bit
Vegas not quite as impressed with ISU as computers for the championship game:
Vegas Opening: MOV 5, O/U 156.5 (ISU 80.75 - BSU 75.75, ISU 68.0% to win*)
KenPom: MOV 6.34, O/U 158.5 (ISU 82.4 - BSU 76.1 Tempo 75.3 poss, ISU 71.2% to win)
Sagarin Predictor: MOV 8.94 (ISU 71.3% to win*)
*Using normal distro with mean MOV and variance as MSE from ThePredictionTracker Baseball predicitions

Makes sense. BSU is a good team, and when they are shooting well, as good as any we have faced.
I don't know if this matters, but we have worn cardinal/gold in our two games, and Boise State has worn black/white.
Would make sense to me for ISU to wear whites and BSU to wear blues.

Merry Christmas to all the Cyclone fans. Finally god felt sorry for us for all the pain we have gone through last 10 years....
I come home from 1.5 days of heavy christmasing with family to see ISU down by 11 to Boise State. I slip on my new ISU lounge pants, and the Cyclones not only become Diamond Head Classic champions, but are 11-0; best start in school history!
Conclusion: there was magic in my pants tonight.
