Up Next: Northern Iowa/Predictions

[gocubs2118]

I'm glad we found a way to win today when the 3's weren't falling like they had been. It gives me confidence we can go in there and win if things don't go our way. I expect this to be a close ballgame throughout.

Stating the obvious, it all depends on how well we play on a true away game. Therefore, I would prefer to withhold my prediction.

Being that this is a message board and it doesn't mean a thing, I think we win by single digits. Probably in the 60's for both teams...we're a little cold away from home but play good D.

We are? The only non-home game was Creighton, and if my memory serves me correctly, we scored 91 and shot 55%

[Wesley]

68-56 Us.

[Cyclonefarmer]

I really think it will be close just b/c we haven't played a "true" road game and that makes a big difference with a team with so many players used to playing at home.

[huntt26]

Clones 76 Panthers 71, clutch free-throw shooting down the stretch to win.

Our free throw shooting is anything but clutch.. but I like the prediction.

I think it should be a great game, but I'll give the home team the nod.

UNI : 78
ISU : 74

DG hits some clutch shots in the end to close this one out for the W

[jsmith86]

Any score that gets us the W will make me happy.

[Cyclonepride]

Any score that gets us the W will make me happy.

I agree.

We don't need any style points.

We don't need a huge margin of victory.

We just need a W.

[Nycclone]

My instinct says this should be a tough game then I see things like this that make me think otherwise

[CycloneErik]

This would be a great CF bustrip.

[CycloneErik]

Their only win right now is Coe College. Really.

Our schedule has been a little better than Coe College.
I believe they'll show up for the in-state thing, so there's no way I'm willing to conceive of a blowout right now.
We have strong veteran guard play, so I think we can handle the road. I also think Ejim is mature enough for it.

Why not? ISU 83, UNI 68.

UNI is just not that good this year. They just do not have any real shooters or scorers.

I agree with this comment, other than Ahelegbe and possibly Jake Koch, they are loaded with good backups, but not nearly the team from last year.

Just saw Ahelegbe was 1-13 from 3 pt land.

[HoopsTournament]

I am cautiously optimistic, but I said on CR that we would lose two non-con games (UNI and Va). This is our first true road game and I predict we lose a close game. I have no problem with being wrong.

Creighton wasn't really an away game. It wasn't the home locker room, but it was home turf and a friendly crowd.
