***OFFICIAL: Northern Illinois @ ISU Prediction thread***

[Psyclone Brian]

I'm going with 99-63
C y c l o n e s !

 

[cyflier]

79-61 Cyclones

 

[CyArob]

75-64 ISU. Really depends on how many minutes the bench gets.

 

[Cyclonesince78]

Career high for Matt Thomas.

 

[CoKane]

102-24 if NIU struggles to only score 4 points in a half like they did in the past. Would this be the worst lost in program history if we did?

 

[83Clone]

Bloodbath

 

[MNCyGuy]

Pain.

 

[WhatchaGonnaDo]

Matty Ice finally goes off and drops 28 pts (8-12 from 3pt)

 

[Cyclonepride]

I could see them being a little off, but I don't think it will matter here. I'll say 88-59

 

[CycloneErik]

Chuckles o'Plenty in this one. I forecast a big snack day.

Game wise: 98-62 Clones.

 

[Rabbuk]

We score 8 pts in the first half and 106 in the 2nd. We win 114-18

 

[Psyclone Brian]

 

[ISUCyclone06]

94-76 Ellerman with the game clincher

 

[bawbie]

Sheesh. NIU isn't scoring 70. They shouldn't score 60. They are very nearly the worst offensive team in Div 1. If we play well they won't score 50.

Im going with 88-57.

 

[WDMCyclone]

95-62 Iowa State.

 

[GoSTATE71]

It's gonna be really painful for NIU

 

[cstrunk]

90-61 Clones.

 

[RustShack]

Matt Thomas is projected to break out every game. One of these games it will happen. Personally I'm hoping to see SDW make some noise again.

Honestly, this game scares me. I think we overlook them and they come in ready to take on a ranked Big 12 team. The game will be back and fourth as our shots don't fall until late in the second half. People start melting down and we finally pull away late.

Final score:
ISU 103
NIU 51

We'll come out sluggish, no doubt.
The game thread will be a melting down train wreck. I'll be glad to be in Hilton, because I'm snobbish that way.

In the end, we crush them. All is well.
