***OFFICIAL Shock the World and Beat Kentucky Gameday Thread!!!***

[Naughtius]

Greg Anthony just now on CBS: Really looking forward to the Kentucky/Iowa State matchup tonight. After looking closely, Iowa State reminds me of Vanderbilt except they are better shooters and more athletic. It's going to be a really good, exciting game.

I just hope we're on top of our game. Win or lose, play fearless, play to win. There's no shame in losing this game.

Kentucky will be glad to hear that.

A reasonable preview from a Kentucky site.

Sounds about right. I think this game will end up similar to our 2005 matchup with North Carolina, with a closer final score. I think UK will build a 6-10 point lead at halftime, we'll fight to keep it around that for most of the second half, but in the end, they'll end up winning by around 10-15 or so.

Kentucky will be glad to hear that.

My point was that when it seems we have a "must win" we come out a little tight. No need for that. Usually in big games against the better teams, we play well. I hope that trend continues.

This game cannot get here soon enough.

Let's hope Korie brought some of the big shot magic and is sharing it with the guys in the Round of 32...

Me, too!
2 hours.....

 

[ISUCY23]

Honestly i think we can win this but its gonna take a big defensive effort from Booker. I think his play will decide the game.

 

[Stumbles]

Crowd is gonna be brutal. They like to boo a lot. Good calls or bad. In a sea of blue. Got some Wku fans that have returned that will be rooting for us as well as a lot of the arena staff.

Men win on the road, and no doubt about it, this is a road game.


Let's hit em in the mouth from the get go and never back down. Go Cyclones!

Let’s go Cyclones, the flaming dumpster is on standby!

 

[Wesley]

You know it would be great to beat UK as the teams in the rest of the bracket are all beatable: Baylor (beat them), Lehigh (Beat them), VCU, Indiana (Iowa beat them twice), Colorado (nuff said), and Xavier.

There is a memory from my time at ISU...

 

[huntt26]

Place is packed with Kentucky fans and Murray State fans. Both are the same, kind of like UNI and Iowa.
