I have a good feeling that Royce will have a BIG game. They do not have the personell that will be able to stop him, or even slow him down

Babb is going to guard Nash and not Page. It doesn't make much sense to have a 6'5 guy chasing around that 5'9 gnat. He may be their leading scorer but their most talented player and most explosive player is Nash. In the games they have won Nash has done well.
I don't see them having a problem with OSU. They really only have two guys you have to worry about and I think the guys will come out ready to play because they want to get a win after losing two straight. I also don't think OSU has much confidence right now. If ISU does well right out of the gate you could see a blowout because OSU might just give up.

I agree with this. Nash is the one who scares me. Page will get his points. What will kill ISU is if Nash is able to compliment him. Shut him down Mr. Babb!
The streak will end tonight! The last 7 ISU basketball games I have attended spanning from the 2009-2010 season to the Missouri game this year have ended in losses! But as Dexter Morgan says "tonight's the night, and its going to happened again and again". Tonight we are going to win and its going to happen again and again. Go State!
It's the slashing 2/3s from OSU that scare me more than anything, but without Olukemi I'm not nearly as worried. Markel Brown is a very talented player, but is really struggling this year and is now coming off the bench. A true freshman Brian Williams has taken his place in the lineup, and is averaging 10+ pts a games in the last 6, after not playing much at all before that. I would imagine Allen/McGee will guard those two. Hopefully they can keep in front of them and prevent our bigs from fouling on drives.
Should be able to handle Okie State. If Royce stays out of foul trouble, we should win by 15. If we can't handle OSU at home then we don't need to be going to the NCAA tourny.
Can we get an "old guy in the aisle" mascot and place him in Cyclone Alley? :smile:
I don't like how this game sets up. Most ISU fans seem to think we win this game. OSU's fans are calling out the manhood of their team.
After the Baylor embarrassment, I expect to see OSU play an inspired game.
OSU has talent, so have they struggled because the players have not bought into coaching? Could the Baylor blowout be a turning point that causes the players to start listening to their coaches?
Their weren't too many people that gave ISU a shot to upset OSU in football, so you can never underestimate an opponent.

Wow...very weird that the same exact thing pretty much happened back in the 2004 Texas game.
It really is crazzzy how loud it use to be. Closest Ive heard was against Virginia when we beat them when they were ranked. And that wasnt even close.
I've got high hopes for the KU game this year. We CAN beat them and hopefully we'll be riding a hot streak into that game.
I wish I could help you out with the espn3 but they shut down the password and username that has been online for 2 years now. Two days after I gave it to three cfers. If anyone wants to hook me up, pm me with one and I will rep you. Pretty please?
