*ISU vs. Creighton MBB Predictions*

[cstrunk]

Whattya'll think?

ISU 79
CU 63

Can't wait to be in Iowa in a couple days (and see this one in person).

[Cyclonepride]

I predict that I'm going to be yelling my fool head off.

[CycloneErik]

I'd say 80-55.

Whoever Jake guards may as well stay home. Write him off.

Our guards will make it extremely tough on their guards, and we'll know their plays better than they do right now.

I was going to say 65, but I think that his guys will end up doing the stand-around confused thing when we pressure their guards. Any interior advantage that they may or may not have won't matter by that point.

They shoot around 28-32%

[RoseClone]

I predict Creighton will run 1000 "different" plays but they will mysteriously all look the same

[cyclonedave25]

I think ISU wins 78-65.

Not true.

Sometimes they will stand around outside.

Sometimes they will dribble around outside.

ISU 76
CU 58

I didn't expect to win this one at the start of the year, but based off how each team has played so far I don't know how you can pick the Jays to win. Really looking forward to this game now.

[enisthemenace]

Probably be a close one. Maybe even come down to the last shot. If we are up by 1 with 35 seconds left in the game, even if (ok, especially if) they have the ball, I like our chances.

EDIT: Hell, even if we are down 4 with 25 seconds left, I like our chances to win in regulation.

ISU-83
CU-65

[Palmer]

ISU by 8.

Promptly followed up by a flurry of Creighton players transfers/mysterious defections.

[KneeGusto]

After Wednesday in Ames, I have no clue.

Seriously.

I showed up to watch a struggling ISU team take on a tough defense Drake team and ISU exploded and destroyed Drake.

[BryceC]

I still just don't totally trust this team yet. I honestly don't know. I think there will be a lot of emotion from the guys who played for Mac and that might affect their play a little bit. Win this one convincingly and I'll really start coming around on this team.

76-69 State

[cc1091]

Easy Win for ISU, Unless:
1. ISU has a terrible shooting night
or
2. Creighton somehow manages to keep the deficit under 20 and one of their sharp shooters has an unbelievable finish (this is a trademark of GMac's UNI teams)

[istater7]

78-64 good guys
