*** Official IOWA STATE Vs Missouri Gameday Thread ***

[SCyclone]

The first game day thread of the new season (officially).......thanks Rulzzz!!!! The long wait is OVER!!!!

 

[SCyclone]

- Solo needs to stay out foul trouble.
- Wonder who’s going to guard Porter. 6’10” with PG skills. Woof.
- DJax needs to be a hot hand from downtown
- Interested to see Lewis in game action
- Wigginton should get to the FT line a lot, and I think he’s a good FT shooter
- I hope folks remember we no longer have Monte, so we are going to commit more turnovers than we are used to...probably a lot more
- Would really like to see Babb being more assertive, and really need for him to be a threat from deep

From what I gather, this team is just going to be a lot different. More slashers, less pure shooting. Maybe on ball D will be better. I really hope we clear the glass more effectively.

I take no stock in the Emporia State game, so really looking forward to this one.

NWB gets first crack at it.

We shouldn't even be playing these pricks. Left us high and dry while yelling SEC at the Big 12 tournament

**** Missouri. Weird ass state

Tall order. No pun intended.

**** Missouri.

Entirely off-topic and completely random, but an amusement not worth a separate thread. Rutgers opens the season with the following opponents:

City College of New York (Division III)
Central Connecticut
Cleveland State
Coppin State
Bryant
East Carolina

should probably pick up the mediacom sports package before tonight at 8

They need a good lockdown defender on Porter. I'd guess NWB and just working to deny him the ball. I'm sure Prohm has a plan -- just need to execute it. And he won't be the only one to worry about. They have 3? double digit scorers back from last year.

I want this win. Way too many Missouri fans around me that won't shut the hell up. Talk radio would be absolutely glorious on Monday, as well.

Time for guys to step up.

NWB gets Porter first, wouldn't be shocked to see Talley and Long spend time on him as well. I get he's a stud but we are forgetting he and their other bigs have to guard our guys as well. The 3 guys I mentioned could all be effective off the dribble against them, it'd be great if that trio along with Wigginton could get attack and get them in foul trouble. That's the only way I can see a win here but you never know.

 

[bosco]

Every time I see Porter's height he gets taller. I expect by game time he'll be 7'6".

It is a matchup of opposites. Their strength is their frontcourt while ISU's strength is their backcourt. It would be nice if guys like Wigginton and Babb can penetrate and draw some fouls on their bigs. I think ISU needs to really focus on keeping them off the offensive glass. In the KU exhibition game they were killing KU in that area in the first half.
