I see a close game that OSU wins by double digits (score not indicative of how close game was.) We (and most of college basketball) are not the same on the road. We need some help somewhere to pull off an upset. I wouldn't look to the refs or Pokes shooting, need somebody to really step up for the Clones to prove me wrong.

ISU has won the last 4 meetings by 18 points total.
ISU has won the last 3 meetings by 7 points total and 4 overtimes.

You sure about those figures? Here's what I'm finding on the internets:

3/8/14 ISU 85-81 in OT
2/3/14 ISU 98-97 in 3 OT
3/6/13 ISU 87-76

So ISU has won the last three meetings by 16 points and four overtimes.

1/30/13 OSU 78-76 (at Stillwater)

Is there a reason I'm not seeing this year's game at Hilton here?

More importantly than our own game since this will be on ESPN how many times will they cut away from our live game to show look ins at timeouts for the Duke-NC game?

Yeah, that was pretty much the dumbest thing ever. The worst part was I switched over to ESPNews during that interminable "look-in" and it was on there too. Couldn't they just say that "this other game we all want to watch is a barnburner of a finish. If you want to watch it too, just switch over to ESPNews."

"Don't screw with my Cyclones, Nadine!"

May your beer be warm, your Hickory Park Garbage Burger overcooked, and your threes way short. We just got beat at TCU, so that's all I got. And here's hoping we don't get Higgins' ref crew, so we won't have a 3.5 hour long game, eh?

Safe travels to those of you making the trip to Stillwater.

Can't wait for tipoff. So many close games between these teams recently that I can't see either team winning large. Hopefully the Cyclones can make enough plays to close out a road win. ISU wins 73-71.

Yeah, this is my thought as well. The only prediction I feel solid about is that this game will take years off my life.

No Higgins tonight. Stuart, Adams and Spalding (per B Blum's twitter).

I am sure the team is well aware...
Forte/Nash is the Cowboy offense and they will get their numbers just due to pure volume of touches. Key, in my eyes, is contesting their shots, rebound the misses and not allowing anyone else (Hickey?) to get hot and give them a third scoring option for the game.

This is pretty much how I see it. Nash and forte aren't going to beat you by themselves.

Nash needs to get Niang and/ or McKay in foul trouble And have someone, likely Hickey, go off as well for osu to win.

Remember when Jeff Lebo was rumored to be a candidate for our head coaching position? Thank God that didn't pan out. Go Clones!
