looking at his rate numbers, he's regressed slightly in blocks and rebounds, shoots more threes and a bit higher percentage, but the biggest different between last year and this year is that his 2FG% dropped from 58% to 45%. I think that means he's getting a lot less dunks and layup and taking a lot more jump shots.

I think that's what happening. There simply isn't room for him to operate in there with Ibeh/Ridley, and Myles Turner in there a lot of time.

Let us be underdogs again. When we favored on the road we tend to play cocky and lose.

Anything I predict is Texas by 11 because I predicted OSU by 11, because of the OU game.

Gotta be consistent.

I will say Texas -2. But if McKay puts forth an effort like he did against Oklahoma State. I could see Iowa State winning this one by double digits. It will also take a good team effort as well. If we play like we did against Texas Tech in Lubbock... Oh boy! It could get ugly.

I think the performance at TTU is in the past. But not forgotten to the players hopefully. From here on out its a matter of execution and grit.

Texas by 3.

If we control their freshman big guy and don't give Felix open 3s, we win-- Cyclones 85 Texas 79.

Next question is-- will the arena be at least 50 % full?
Well done, as close as a guess as I've seen. Except you spotted Texas too many points!

And the Cyclones went by the game plan by controlling their NBA bound frosh and making Felix go 1/9.
