Anything within 20 is a loss. ISU 95NIU 43

 

[CyFan61]

Anything within 20 is a loss.

Just win baby. I would take ISU by one.

But I'll predict ISU by 37. Final score 93-56.

 

[Psyclone Brian]

I also predict we'll miss our 1st six, 3 pointers.

 

[Clones21]

88-54 ISU

 

[4theCYcle]

Seems like a rhetorical thread.

 

[atlantacyclone]

I think that it will be a close game... At least for the first half..

 

[Thompsonclone]

Iowa State: 94
NIU: 63

Kane: 16pts, 7rebounds and 5 assists.
Niang: 17pts
Ejim: 14pts, 9rebounds
Hogue: 13pts, 12rebounds
Thomas: 13 points
Long: 6points
SDW: plays 15 minutes and finishes with a solid 8points.
Morris: 7pts, 4rebounds, 5assists.




I GUESSED NIU's point total. Major props for me.

 

[2020cy]

We will come out half asleep and fall behind. Then pull ahead at half. Nader gives speech at half and we blow their doors off in the 2nd half.

 

[awd4cy]

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.

So you don't think we will play well?

 

[Stewo]

ISU wins going away. Similar to the Auburn game.

 

[Rural]

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.

So, pretty normal then?

 

[cmjh10]

Lots and lots of Ellerman

I don't see them scoring 50. Even when we pull our starters, we are still going to be better than them, especially if they pull their starters. It might be a bit sloppy, but it won't be a defensive battle in which we struggle to shoot.

Plus, I think we want to give Nader the gift of a beat-down of his previous team to show him that he made a good choice coming here.

Double trouble. 90-45.

 

[bawbie]

So you don't think we will play well?

Correct. They won't be focused for this game

 

[CysRage]

Ellerman throws a full court shot at the buzzer to get us beyond the 100 point barrier again. 101-58 Cyclones

12-0 Cyclone Warning!

 

[isufan]

92-53

 

[stevefrench]

I predict. ...

Ellerman time

 

[Psyclone Brian]

Ellerman fouls out, Kane has to remove warm-ups and come back in.

 

[ISUCubswin]

1st Half:

Northern Illinois: 32 Iowa State: 26

2nd Half:

Northern Illinois: 32 Iowa State 84

Iowa State ends game on 84-0 run, after Northern Illinois starts game on 32-0 run.

Highsmith is a freshman and a very good player. He can drive and bomb from 3. He dropped 27 this year on UC Riverside and has gotten better each game. We're going to have to help out on him. Threloff is their big 6'9 255 big boy who hits the boards. We have to keep Georges from getting into foul trouble on this guy and help out with him as well.
