Up Next: Northern Iowa/Predictions

I, too, think we lose a close one, here. Our first road test with a lot of new players.

But, I'll be happy if the return to Johnny Orr-like, uptempo, run and gun blasts from the past continue and we thump UNI like we used to!

DG has a big game... I think his experience and leadership really shows in this game.

I can't predict a score, but I think those putting us in the 60's are off. I really think we win this one going away. I wouldn't be suprised with a 15 point win.

UNI hasn't given up 70 points since last January 3rd against Missouri St.

Northern Iowa will really be looking forward to this game and we'll get their best shot, I hope our guys are ready to play. It'll be nice knowing that our coach isn't best friends with the opponent's coach though. It irritated me when, if we played poorly against UNI, McD would just laugh it off with his 'buddy' aka the opposing coach after the game.

Your post implied that you think they will be scoring a lot of points.

But given the statistics, it is unlikely.

ISU has scored more than 70 points every game since March 2nd. What does this mean? Nothing.
New team, new year, new system, new coaches, new players.

What does that have to do with this year? Have you seen our offense this year?

**HFCS** · 11-28-2010, 12:56 AM

UNI wins by 2, refs are usually good for 5-10 point swing @UNI

**Psyclone Brian** · 11-28-2010, 12:57 AM

Ejim puts on a scoring clinic in a close game.
ISU hold's off a stubborn UNI team 81-74

They will be scoring a lot of points. ISU by 12.

You guys also lost some players. UNI of this year isn't UNI of last year.

Listen, you can choose to get upset if you want, but I'm just pointing out that UNI does not give up a lot of points. This game isn't going to be as high scoring as your other games.

The key for UNI in this game is shooting. If they can shoot well from 3, they will have a chance to win this game. If not, they could be in trouble. UNI is lacking the size that we have had in past years, and will have to rely on hitting outside shots more than we would like to. UNI has struggled offensively in their games so far this year, but did have a good second half against North Dakota on Saturday night.

Also worth noting that UNI has a 17 game home winning streak.
