KSU Predictions

[ImperialCyclone]

I think if we can repeat the 11 threes we made down there last year we have a chance.

I completely agree! Also, if there was ever a time to unleash the power of the Ejim/Chrisopherson White Men Can't Jump avatar it is now. Thug life went nuts at KSU last year and the clones will need some huge shots to win this game. I say ISU channel's it's inner Thug Life and go nuts from three on Saturday.

ISU 74
purple Kansas 64

For whatever reason, playing in the "Octagon of Doom" doesn't really scare me.

ISU 67
KSU 61

I'll bet ya putting a betting line on ISU is a real *****, especially a match up @ kstate, who plays an opposite style.

If I were betting real money on games my rule would be, never bet the game when ISU is on the road.

That said.....I'm guessing ksu will be favored by 4, and I'll put a $100 down says ISU wins outright.

[wonkadog]

I bet it's at least -6.

[cyclonespiker33]

My prediction is that KSU scores 64 points (in regulation). How much we score will determine if we win or lose

Agree here. This is going to be a maul-fest. Brutal basketball, both teams are playing for an edge here. Foul heavy, but clones will on free throws.

I hope there are not a lot of fouls. I'm tired of seeing Niang and Ejim spending large chunks of time on the bench. Although, KSU is not a great free throw shoooting team.

There will be a lot of fouls. The question will just be whether or not the officiating crew decides to call most of them or let them go. KSU will love it if they decide to "just let them play" since playing physical (aka foul them every trip down the floor) is what they do.

I agree, Georges and Mel need to play smart. We can deal with fouls when they are playing good D. What is killer is fouling 30 to 90 feet away from the basket. If Georges and Mel can avoid foul trouble it will make a big difference in this game.

I agree, this will be a physical matchup.

Iowa State 83
Kansas State 80

[Cyclonesince78]

I bet it's at least -6.

Agreed. ISU was favored aganst KSU @ Hilton against a top 20 team. With the game @ Bramlage, with the perceived "ISU can't win on the road stigma", and KSU ranked #13, I agree, at least 6.

Yep. Its going to be a very very very physical game. Hopefully it gets call fair.

[PettKSU]

73-66 CATS

[isufan]

If ISU scores 75+, we win
If ISU scores 65-75, maybe win
Less than 65, We lose

[DenverCat]

Whats everyone thinking? I go back and forth on this one and think its going to be a great back and forth game. ISU took care of KSU once this season, has only lost one conference road game played on the weekend in the last two seasons (in Lawrence), and has the better coach. Game goes to overtime and ISU get a crucial win.

ISU- 82
KSU- 81

Can't beat TT, then can't beat KSU......KSU 74 isu 66

Can't beat TT, then can't beat KSU......KSU 74 isu 66

Huh, that's weird. I just looked at ESPN and it says we already beat you guys. Who knew?
