Better see your doctors tomorrow to find out if ISU basketball is right for you!

State 1-point favorite vs OU
- Thread starter Blandboy
- Start date
As tough as it will be to play in front of hundreds of OU fans, this is a must win. 77-70 ISU.
Need to win, yes. Must win, No. They could lose to OK, then win 3 of the remaining 4 road games, with one being KSt, and all home games, and they'll be right back in the race.
Every game is a must win RE the regular season title at this point.
Tomorrow scares me. Very little prep against a team we have not seen yet on the road.
When I've watched Oklahoma they've looked terrible. I expect them to shoot out of their minds Monday.
Seems kind of low considering how OU's season has been so far. I've learned to not doubt the lines of these games though. Need to shoot a lot better this game.
Picked the wrong week to quit black tar heroin .
The line surprises me a bit....thought it would have been ISU by 3.5 to 4 points. I expect the Clones to play well and cover. They are a better team than OU at this point in the season.
I’d think we are harder to prepare for than they are. They have talent, so a loss isn’t going to be a huge upset, but I thought the line might be more like -5
This line makes sense if you look at the spreads for other games. Iowa State was -4.5 against Ok St to kick off BIG12 and Oklahoma is a better team. They also were -2 on the road to Baylor, who we all know is better now, so that should've been more towards pick um.
The scary thing with a spread around even is watching the money. If the majority of bets (public) on our boys, but the line moves to pick or OU -1 then we may be in for a rough night.

Every game is a must win if you think it will take 15 wins to win the league. Fortunately, it most likely will only take 13 to win it outright meaning they can still lose two of these "must win" games.
OU has had even a little less prep time as they had travel back home Saturday after losing at WVU. But I'm worried as well. It's incredibly difficult to win on the road in conference, regardless who you're playing. That said, we've been pretty solid on the road in conference.
Every Vegas book who has posted in the last few hours opened at -2. Seems about right for two teams that are pretty good ATS. OU is 10th at 15-5-2 and ISU is 26th at 14-8. Tough one to predict and personally I wouldn't touch it.
