Since bawbie tends to be right on this, I'm going with him. His analysis is really top-notch, at least for message-board country.

Marshall Moses is a beast inside and JVB will have his hands full with him. Also, Matt Pilgrim can find ways to score and crash the offensive glass. Pretty much the same story though. Have to stay out of foul trouble and knock down some outside shots.
That being said, Gallagher-Iba is an extremely tough place to play, but this game is definitely winnable and ISU has an excellent chance to go in there and steal a win.

I won't venture a guess yet, but I feel as confident about ISU's at Stillwater this time as I have in quite a while. Tricky part: it looks like an even matchup, but how many points does OSU gain from the home-court advantage?
It probably isn't the hardest place to win in the Big 12 , but Gallagher-Iba may have the biggest equalizer effect.
If it's close, I hope we get a lucky bounce to balance the Nebraska heartbreaker.
Keys, as usual: Stay out of foul trouble, hit a lot of 3's.

I think Ejim/Godfrey guard Moses. He's really a 6' 6" PF, so that's a good test and matchup for Ejim.
They have a 6' 8" guy (Darrell Williams) that plays center along with Pilgrim, who is also 6' 8". He's their best rebounder (by rebound percentage) but doesn't score much. JVB will guard those two. (they each play around 20 mins a game)
Yeah, I was kind of thinking about that too and that's certainly interesting. Physically, I don't know that I'd want Ejim on Moses, and with JVB's height, it could neutralize Moses' muscle.
Obviously, there's going to be plenty of switches and the post match ups will change frequently. I just like Ejim on Pilgrim more as Pilgrim is a better athlete than Moses and will do more away from the basket than Moses will.
Really looking at it, it's a good match up for us. Being an away game, that will factor in, but just man to man, I think it's a very winnable game.

That means nothing. We're tied with them in the standings.

Yeah, until we get further along into the conference season, records don't tell us a whole lot.

If the refs **** us like they did at UNI & Nebraska, we lose a close one. If they call it even or we get a few breaks, we win a close one.
