Looks like the line opened at OSU -3, went right down to a pick 'em and has now settled at OSU -1.

Gonna be a tough one. Think we drop this one. Getting a road win down there will be huge as I don't think there will be many other Big 12 teams that will pick up a win in GIA this year.
OSU is probably saying the same thing about Naz, since they have both been here the same amount of time.
Thanks Rulzzz. Should be a fun game to watch. I think it will be important to stick to Forte tonight. May need a little super glue. Get a road win Cyclones.
I see us being able to take advantage of their youth much like we did against UT. Force quite a few turnovers and get some easy transition points. Still will be a very close game. I'll say 73-71 Cyclones
This game would be a good time for DJ to start hitting from outside.
Monte is playing like Monte. Burton is making the easy play. Naz is getting up to speed. Would like to see DJ get hot from 3 to get this team some momentum for the next 3 games.

Im guessing we win by no more than 5. Will probably be down at half by 3 or 4, then go on a big run somewhere in the middle of the second half to take the lead. OSU gets it tied up with about 4 min to play, but we finally find a way to finish at the end. Monte and Naz both hit some big FTs to seal it at the end. Burton finishes with 23, 9, and 6 assists.
Won't be able to watch due to not having ESPNU but that's OK...late games in Stillwater tend to be recklessly close and I shouldn't drink during the week.
I also don't have to listen to whomever is calling the game.
Hoping for ISU to progress some more and pull out one of these games this week.

Remember Naz hardly played his freshman year. If he would have gotten a full four years of playing time he's probably get to 300 too.
Bump to get back on the Front Page... It's GameDay Fanatics!
ESPN has this game as even matchup... It'll be a nail biter.

If Burton ends up with 6 assists, I'm buying a round for the house.
I guarantee U that I will MUTE these guys ....the last couple of espn guys called us Iowa and then Illinois State....rank amateurism at its worst
I think ISU needs to stop being the pretty finesse team and start playing the scrappy ball hawk team. We will probably not make the tournament if we don't start imposing our will on teams we 'should' be doing that to. We don't have a swagger anymore, and its obvious late game. Take that variable out and play with your hair on fire from second number 1. Actions speak louder than words.
