I think we win....one of those games we are dialed in and play steady ball...hit our averages stat wise...with about 3 mins left we win and it isn't a "buzzer beater" type of game for us to win or to lose in a heartbreaking fashion. Dialed in...thats my hope..like the first 6 minutes of our first game.

Everyone is worried about their Defense and efficient offense. But if you look Kenpom, http://kenpom.com/they are pretty much identical to Kansas. We know how well we played Kansas this year, and Virginia hasn't seen us and Niang 10 times in the last 4 years.

I am still worried, but I think we win this.

While I am extremely nervous because of the nature of the one and done in the tournament, this will be the best matchup of the sweet 16 round, tough D vs. Outstanding offense, but no one can stop Georges and I think we can control their scoring runs enough to create a gap and play on Easter Sunday. 74-68 Iowa State

This game will come down to 3 things. Virginia's second chance points, ISU's 3pt %, and foul trouble.

Watched the UVA/Butler game. I am not that impressed with UVA. Brogdon has a fade away shot that can be trouble, and is a good option for them. Will see if the extra prep time makes a difference. Look for ISU to have a good game plan for them. Should be fun. I'll take the clones 77-69.

It is an understatement to say we have struggled against defensive minded teams this year. I think this continues unfortunately. Hope I am wrong.

I can't believe how scared some of my fellow Cyclone BBall fanatics are.

The Cuclones are going to score on these guys. I see a lot of points in this game with ISU coming out on top.

Clones 83 Vag 76

I think ISU goes off tomorrow night. Niang, Thomas and Nadar for big games. Cooke is going to be the shocker with 9 big points off the bench. I like the 3 pointer he hit vs ALR and I think if he can find some rhythm it could be the boost ISU needs.

ISU 82 - UVA - 70
