VEGAS: Kansas (-6-5) over the Clones

Why do you say that? We took care of WVU and Oklahoma without him. Of course I'd love to have him, but I don't think he's the make or break factor.
Definitely... snatch up that 6.5 while you can because with the way KU has been playing lately and the way ISU plays at home people will be all over ISU.
That's my line of thinking. KU certainly could end up winning by 7, but from a wagering standpoint, it'd be enticing to throw some money at Iowa State to cover.
I think we actually match up really well with KU.
Agree, though I think we cause them as many problems in that spot as they cause us (provided that we can stay on the floor without fouling).
I'm betting KU on this one and hoping I'm wrong
We “matchup” well with teams that we can run on, or with.
OU screamed a good matchup. KU is not a horribleone, but they do have the guard play to frustrate our halfcourt offense. Svi is going to be a tough cover for Lard or Young, and so far this year we haven’t been able to dictate pace or take a guy like Svi and make him a liability defending Lard or Young.
If that line drops much I think KU is a good bet.
Lard will hurt Svi on our end just as much as Svi will hurt Lard on theirs. Only difference is 3 point shots vs. two pointers. Although I can see Lard slamming home tip-dunks and getting fouled......that might ratchet up the decibel level in JHHC, too.
That’s the hope, but we haven’t always been able to dictate matchups go in our favor. Lard will undoubtedly be called for a few cheap fouls covering Svi. I’d also guess Doke is on Lard, and Young will have to show he can pass out of doubles.
That's a tough one, for sure, but they've still got to find a way to guard us on the inside on the other end as well. From what I saw at KU, they struggled with us as much as we struggled with them for the first 35 minutes. We may see less of Young and Lard on the floor at the same time, with Talley and Long to fill that spot.
Which Bigs will get in foul trouble first? Against Baylor, KU's Azu only played 19 mins and had four PFs; that would be great if we could do the same and keep SoYo and Lard out of foul trouble. And we all know how hard it is when our guards can't hit shots; DJ and Wiggs need big scoring games t'morrow.

I don't bet on the Clones but if I did I would be all over this one.
