*** Official South Dakota State vs #4 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

Love everything about this. I have to go into the office today, but my boss and his boss are on a company trip and therefore out of the office. I am placing the first of many bets now, and am going to have a full on degenerate Thursday

Being a degenerate is the best! I make way too many stupid trips to the casino and will bet on college sports. Best of luck to you on your bets today. Unfortunately I work in DC so I can't place any bets right now. As soon as I'm done with work and back in Virginia I'm planning on making a few bets on some of the games today. I like Dayton to win (Nevada is favored, so obviously take Dayton to cover the spread) and Oregon to cover since I feel like they're also going to win and they're -1.5. Any lines standing out to you?

I’ve said this before, but it’s worth repeating

This season has been magical. This team has far exceeded our expectations, and it’s fun to watch a team so cohesive, tough, and energetic. I will have fond memories of this season no matter how this tournament plays out.

But, the tournament gives us an opportunity to make more fond memories. And it would be the icing on the cake if they made a deep run this season. It all starts today. Win and advance. ISU doesn’t need to play perfect basketball just yet. They could win 59-58 today, and I would be happy.

With that said, I don’t expect a close game. ISU 79, SDSU 52. Let’s go! This is the best 2 days of college basketball!!

Truthfully I have a parlay of BYU -9.5, Dayton and Samford ML, and St Pete and UNC to cover. $50 pays $2300, using FanDuel. I also have a 3 pt makes parlay for today, and $5 pays $275, using bet365

Truthfully, I don’t think you’ll want to come to this thread at halftime. I expect it to be a 5 pt game or less by halftime before the good guys start to pull away. I’d be much more concerned if we were playing the SDSU of 2022, but this team this year just isn’t as good

Things to note (not on you, just building off reality):
-runs happen in about every single basketball game. If ISU is up by 10 to start, that doesn't mean they were on the verge of winning by 30.

-SDSU is there for a reason; they're good and have been playing well over the last month.

-players don't choose whether or not they make shots (I think some people actually believe this).

It's the NCAA tourney.

Wild things happen every year and this weekend won't be any different.

Hopefully ISU can keep what they've been doing and come out successful.

We got a group of 8 for the next 3 days. Get together at one guys house and watch games, drink heavily, gamble. Tell the same jokes, reference the same crazy events from years past. Its just the best.

Been doing it for close to 20 years now i suppose. The drinking has gone down some w age, and the gambling and gummies are now legal. Just the best time of the year!

You're encouraging me to gamble?! I wish my girlfriend supported my degenerative gambling habits like you do.

I am in the same boat! Boss OUT TODAY. Have a team meeting at 11 then taking the L back home to move my mouse every once in a while and have the multi view playing on YTTV. Go Clones baby!

I don't need encouragement. I'm going to gamble and make bets and there's nothing you can do to stop me. Want to make a bet that you can't stop me from gambling?

This team will find a way to win. I expect us to cover.

 

[Cardinal2001]

Someone posted a chart the other day that put Drake ahead of us in defense. I'm sure the Jackrabbits are good too. But they haven't seen this defense.

Feel pretty good, hope we keep our hot hand!

 

[NENick]

I expect some nerves early, poor shooting, but still forcing TOs, leading to some easy baskets. Pull away late in the 1st half and cruise home.
78-60 Cyclones

 

[cymac2408]

I’m not too worried about the players focusing and competing for the next 6 games. Rulzzz you have done an amazing job throughout this year keeping these game day threads going. I hope you have 6 games left in you.
