Do we beat BYU?

[bosco]

I took a BYU +10.
Hoping I lose it though.

Some on here would look disapprovingly upon this.

Richie Saunders is now the most disliked player in the conference. I think he went off against us in Hilton last year too. We need to shut him down.

BYU has the best Against The Spread record in the Big 12. We are #2.

BYU is hot and will have our full attention.

BYU is Meh on the road. Some good. Some bad. But it’s mostly the Defense that struggles on the road.

Our numbers at Full Strength are strong.

Our numbers vs Ranked Opponents are strong

Our numbers at home are strong

Factor in Senior Night.

Computers and Vegas love the Cyclones.

Can’t go against A.I. and Bugsy Siegel.

BYU 72
ISU 85

If you don’t like the spread, you can always take Cyclones over 79.5 points-125.

If someone was going to lose his cool/essentially seal ISU's fate that night, I'm glad it was one of the bigs who let him know he's a twerp... Heise is probably the only one I worry about now, he doesn't just jaw with fans on the road, I think he was talking to Cryer in Houston. He didn't retaliate physically in the multi-technical Cincinnati and Oklahoma State games though

Heise is more like Saunders IMO.

Seems like we've been prone to sluggish performance on senior nights in recent memory. Including last year against BYU. I know we ended up winning, but it was no picnic.

We tend to struggle a lot on Senior Night for whatever reason. We seem to start out really flat.

Getting gameday thread ready. Another 8 pm home game. Why do we have to start late just because we are playing teams out west?

8 PM has been a pretty standard start for a long time. It's the 9:30 etc ones that are bad.

The '14 triple OT win at Okie State iirc was an 8 pm start. That was a late one.

I guess it depends on who your Seniors are?

I want to say senior nights for a lot of teams are tricky.

Lots of distractions, emotions and probably pressure to perform really well.

 

[MeowingCows]

1.) below average turnovers
2.) below average 3PTs allowed.

Do these two things, and it's very likely we cruised to an easy win.

Yeah, it probably plays more into football than basketball.

However tonight, if BYU defense plays as the numbers say the BYU defense plays, I can see where CUJO and Gilbert play well.

Especially since it’s been a few games for those two to be lethal.
