Violate 'em so hard they're going to have to point to the spot on a doll to doctors when in recovery.

Kinda goes along with my comment about having to call in SVU for an investigation after we get done with them in another thread.

almost everyone good we have played this year has a 7 footer, so I am not concerned about that.

if Iowa State gets beat it will be for two reasons.
1. we play like crap (C game)/foul trouble.
2. WSU hits like 10 or more threes.
Yeah. Their big isn't really that athletic either so I expect him to have trouble with our trapping D.

I didn't think Wazzou seemed very athletic overall, so I'm expecting us to force a lot of turnovers tonight. I expect a fairly comfortable win when it's all said and done.

i am sure that they are very accustomed to playing the way they have been all year. and i am sure that the forwards they have playing guard have some ball skills.

i hope ISU is the one exploiting the mismatches.

Ideally as the game goes on ISU's small ball of Gilbert/Cujo/Lipsey starts to sneak into the lane and it takes things over.

Worst case it's WSU that comes out firing on all cylinders to start and jumps on ISU to make it an uphill battle. The hope if that happens is things even out if WSU can't sustain it.

Hopefully ISU doesn't revert back to the mean offensively. I'm concerned about Tamin's shoulder, any updates? He seemed to be in a lot of pain.

If the ball sticks it might happen.

It's all about valuing the ball and making the needed play.

That will be crucial as I don't foresee ISU shooting 58% overall and 48% from three even if they play well.

I'm feeling really good about this game. Washington State is not that dynamic on the perimeter and they don't have the size to contend with the Iowa State bigs. I think it's a good matchup for the Clones, better than the Drake matchup would have been. Isaac Jones is their one big matchup advantage but I'd favor Iowa State everywhere else
Well, my player prop sites I follow all have Isaac Jones Under 13.5 points.

I hope they are right!
