I'd love to get the win today, but K-St will be desperate. Should be a physical, sloppy game. They will try to muck it up like they always do. I can't predict a win, so will be pleasantly surprised if they do.

It’s always tough for the clones when they go into the octagon of doom but I feel good about a cyclone victory today especially letting the game against Willy the wildcat slip away in Hilton

I don't feel good about this one. We've been inconsistent on offense all year. IB has been other worldly recently. Law of averages would say we are do for a poor offensive outing. Hope I'm wrong.

I too think this game may be close. Afraid free throws could be the difference. Will we get enough chances and enough makes?

If I was K-State, I would be terrified to play against Izaiah Brockington right now. That dude is on a mission.
I think that TJ has really changed things around to get Brockington most of the shots, which is what he needed to do. The shooting percentages of some the other starters are awful. Gabe playing more under control and take the shots that are there has helped too.

I am a little concerned about the defense and the number of offensive boards given up in the WVU game. Love the win but ISU gave up 81 points, and even after they came all the way back to tie the game, they could not get the stops to make that an easier win.

WV is a terrible matchup in this regard imo especially when the officiating is so weird.

ISU's defense wasn't great either but #3 WV was also taking advantage of his height.

This one's essentially for the 5th seed in the Big12. Not a must win, but would do a lot for confidence heading into the post season.

Pasking up the car with my wife, 7 yo, 5 yo boys and new born girl to rep some Cardinal and Gold in the Octogan.

Anything I should be aware of? Are we going to be assaulted? Do they have any good concessions?

Look for a homeless bearded man, beautiful brunette and two excited boys if they go to a cutaway after commercial.

Go Clones!

Hope Vegas is wrong as it looks like the line is K-State -3 to -3.5.
I think we'll need Caleb today and hopefully his shot will be on.
Iowa State 68-Purple Kitties 63.

I know bracketologists are in favor of ISU, but are they IN 'in' or just definitely in at least the play-in game and possibly better?

On the contrary, Grill is due to be on fire

Not sure it's the Octagon of Doom; I'd call it the Octagon of Gloom. I don't think our guys fear playing there but it sure can be depressing.

Let’s try to hold on this game and get some of our guys hot. We have more size then them so we need Conditt to play well

Just a big metal building. Think of a big warehouse with bleachers. TT same but bigger.
