ISU 78
Ole Miss 61

Feeling very good about this one.

At this moment I agree...I'm feeling we win going away. I predicted a nine point win but I think we could win by a lot.

I don't know enough about Ole Miss; I do we usually do well when I pick against us, so I'll pick Ole Miss

 

[TruClone]

This would be a great first game of the year match-up/challenge. We are already 1-0 against the SEC this year, might as well make it 2-0.

 

[CyCloned]

Key to this one is keeping up the pressure and getting in the passing lanes. If we can turn them over, the offense will take care of itself.

The had 16 turnovers and got beat bad on the boards against Bama. Didn't see the game, but I wonder if they have some ball handling issues that ISU can extort.

Their assist to turnover is 1.2 to 1. Ours is 1.5 to 1

IMO, K State has the most likely win for B12. At full strength now they are a top 3 team in our league. A&M is bottom 3 in a 14 team league. Several of these matchups will be not worth watching, I think.

 

[WastedTalent]

Home teams in the challenge have proved to be pretty tough in recent years. I'll guess only 3 road wins.

This really ended up being the best matchup of the challenge after KU-UK.

Big 12/SEC Predictions:

Iowa State at Mississippi (prove me wrong, boys)
Alabama at Baylor
Florida at TCU
South Carolina @ Oklahoma State
Texas at Georgia
Kansas State at Texas A&M
West Virginia at Tennessee
Vanderbilt at Oklahoma
Kansas at Kentucky
Arkansas at Texas Tech

I agree with this.

WOW! Even on the road, how can Kansas State play that poorly against a horrible team? Terrible loss for the Big 12.

 

[knowlesjam]

KSU woofed it. Texas hanging in there...still needs to do work.

 

[NoCreativity]

This game makes me think of when we played Arkansas a few years back, who was at the time ranked in the top-20. They were totally unprepared for the run and gun of that Hoiberg team and we ran them out of the gym with something like a 17-point victory. I know nothing about this Ol' Miss squad, but would not be surprised to see a similar outcome

Excellent call!

 

[ProhmDate]

Guess this proves we should never listen to Chris Williams!

 

[UnCytely]

Guess this proves we should never listen to Chris Williams!

Or, maybe we should have him pick against us the rest of the year.

Sorta right, only one road win.
