IOWA vs IOWA STATE

[ajk4st8]

Rivalry games come down to toughness. We win

 

[Beyerball]

Iowa has basically the same exact team as last year with Marble having improved his game. Everyone else is the same. What is different from last year is several things...Oglsby won't be playing and have a career night from 3...Luscious isn't our starting PG having 10 turnovers in the first half..instead Kane is our PG who Iowa has no one that can really guard him without getting in foul trouble IMO...Iowa is a very solid team but they don't have an ounce of an inside game really...name an Iowa player that can post up and score consistently? They don't have one. What they have outside Marble is players like White, McCabe and Basabe who try to create off the dribble and this is where I think Iowa st will win. We are a much much better perimeter defending team than last year. Guys like Kane, Naz, Ejim and Hogue are all pretty good defenders off the dribble. A lot of this game depends upon how the game is called honestly. If the offcials start off calling a very close contact game and whistles are blowing alot early it could be trouble for us as our depth is just not as much as Iowa. If the game is played more loose and not many whistles I like ISU +10.

He's actually right. Didn't believe it myself until I went and looked it up. Iowa did NOT beat a team that was ranked at the time they played them. For example they lost to Minnesota when Minny was ranked, and beat them when Minny was NOT ranked. In the 11-12 season they beat 4 ranked teams.

In regards to my earlier comment. You guys are complaining about the exact same weaknesses that Iowa has. Both teams can be very streaky shooting the ball, we all know how bad Iowa was last year from 3, both teams can have rebounding issues, and so on. Thankfully I'm not a betting man at all because no matte what any of us say this game has a 30% chance of Iowa winning by 15+, 30% chance of ISU winning by 15+, a 30% chance of it coming down to a last shot, and about a 10% chance of either team winning by around 10.

It's a rivalry game. Anything can happen.

Iowa won't stand a chance if the refs let them play. My only worry is that the refs call it tight and fall for Iowa's flop city approach.

My only worry is if that red haired bastard finds his lucky charms

this game has a 30% chance of Iowa winning by 15+

You realize ISU is on a 39-3 home court tear lately right? And it's actually 40-2 because every national media outlet ran stories for three days straight about how one of the games was obviously fixed for KU.

It's possible Iowa could win by 15+, but there's no team in the NCAA that has a 30% chance of beating ISU by home by 15. If you were trolling, you got me. If not, stay away from numbers because you don't understand them.

Iowa is a scary deep team, will be the cyclones toughest game, more so than the BYU game, tougher than coming back from an 18 point defecit against UNI, and tougher than topping Michigan.

This will also be Iowa's FIRST true road game. Iowa was given a very nice non conference that wasn't challenging at all. Only good team they played was Villanova and that was on a neutral court.

I hope I win some money on this game.

Vegas will have this one as ISU's third toughest game this season

Marble has improved his game? His FG, 3 pt and FT % are all down from last year

He's also averaging 1 less TO per game than last year, averaging more assists, and more steals this year. There's more to a player's "game" than the 3 stats mentioned.

So he's shooting worse and averaging less rebounds. I'm not saying he's worse than he was last year but he hasn't done anything to prove to me he's any better. You have to realize he's averaging these stats against the easiest part of their schedule too...

Eh, Roy Devyn has come up big for the hawks when they have needed him to. Just like a senior and the best player on the team should do.

He will be a tough matchup.
