Turn on the turnover meter. I really feel like ISU will turn them over 20+ times and that will be the biggest difference in this game. ISU will win comfortably.
Washington state is completely irrelevant to me. The only thing I’m concerned about is If we are healthy.
I’m thinking we would have eaten DeVries for lunch. Is a good player? Absolutely, but he would have been the focal point of defense
Woof, the OP of that post is about the only active member there.
He started another thread hyping up other PAC teams playing well in the tournament and he was talking to himself for the first 4 posts.
As an aside, if I were in WSU's shoes there's no way in hell I'm rooting for the likes of Oregon and Zona. Strange behavior.

They are a pretty good team at preventing turnovers - but the don't force any either. Their season high for turnovers was 13 ... until they had 18 in an absolutely horrible game against Colorado in the Pac12 tourney (they lost 58-52). But they haven't played anyone with a defense anything like ours.
in fact, they failed to reach 70 points in all of their losses except 2 - an OT loss @ Cal and a 84-89 track meet against Oregon.
One other thing on 3-pt shooting - they haven't given up more than 7 made 3s in a game since mid-January. They are really good at limiting the 3 attempts by the other team.
Brodie is a load, but Drake was in trouble whenever he was out. They had no one else that could hold up inside.
Any word on our guys? I know Lipsey dinged that shoulder again and Ward i believe was an ankle.
lipsey and ward both said they were fine
otz also said they would be fine and ready to go
Brodie was the key to everything last night. I bet Drake wins that game if he didn't foul out.
Was watching the game with my daughter (in her low 20's - just graduated from ISU). She is a very casual BB fan but gets more locked in during tournament (brackets, you know). Started watching WSU-Drake after our game and she made the comment "why do these teams look so much worse than we do". The eye test at work...
Wazzu is similar with Isaac Jones - They have a couple 6'11" guys that take up space in there in Chinyelu and Cluff, but they don't provide much other than 10 fouls and some rebounding.
Jones hasn't been especially foul-prone, but getting a couple early ones against him would change the dynamic of the game.
Everyone keeps talking about this “Jones” on WSU but I watched the whole game last night and no one stood out on that team to me. Like an amorphous blob of guys running around a lot, kind of being uncoordinated and then throwing up junk hoping to get a bounce. Seemed like the score of that game was in the 50’s for the last 13 minutes.
Their back up is ok, just not the same physical presence.
They could be really solid next year if they can find a replacement for Bodie. Basically everyone else back plus they have a former 4 star ,Chico Johnson redshirting due to a knee injury in HS.
ISU not shutting down Mayo might have been the worst thing for Devries had that matchup happened.
dont want to turn this into a drake/devries thread but idk if devries will be back which means hes gonna take guys with him
Robert Jones, Hassan Ward, Tre King, D Wat, Mom, are small? Geezus how tall is WSU?
