I think it's about right, although I thought it might be closer to 14 or 15. Iowa lacks depth and had a war of attrition with Illinois today. Tired legs for a team with deficiencies going up against the #1 seed who is coming off a loss. It's going to be a lot for Iowa to overcome tomorrow.

Ya gotta BELIEVE!! It's gonna Happen!

GO HAWKS!
 


I'm going to put my entire savings on Iowa winning straight up. I'll be a millionaire by 2 pm tomorrow.
 






I think playing today helps us for tomorrow.

Also, these are 20 year old kids playing 40 minute games. Fatigue won't be any factor tomorrow. Maybe by the fourth day, but day 2 is only mental. They will had a full 24 hours to recover with no travel. They should be 100%, unless they are injured.
 


Upsets seem to happen on day 2 when the winner from the day before has adjusted and the better team comes in cold. Iowa has beaten MSU in these exact situations in the BTT in the past. It will take a miracle,damn near, or super hot shooting. Go Hawks.
 








Gatens will have a career day. He'll be like red hot magma. First one to 65 pts wins.
Iowa 73
Mishagan Stae 68
 


This sh!t happens every year. We get mauled in East Lansing, which we have for the better part of the last 12 years and everyone starts wringing their hands. Every year you can throw that game out because it has no bearing on how we play at home against them or on a neutral site. We were absolutely attrocious last year and beat them by 20 at home but lost by 20 at their place and then darn near beat them in the BTT.

I see this year as no different. The game up there got out of hand....it happens sometimes. I guarantee that they will not allow MSU to beat them up like they did at the Breslin.

I think Fran & Co will come out with something new defensively against Green and force anyone else to try and beat us. I think offensively we will try and do what we did against Illinois which is on a make or miss, send our bigs flying downcourt and get it to them before MSU has a chance to set up their defense.

I see this as a close one....and the first team to 70 wins. I think MSU is looking past us and thinking we'll just lay down and die like we did at the Breslin. Once they realize they're in for a dogfight, it'll be too late. I think we pull the stunner 72-68.
 


Ticket for session 3 at Indianapolis, about $120

Cup of Sodie while you watch, about $4

Look of anguish on Izzo's face in the 4th quarter of an MSU loss, Priceless!

I agree with this, I think having played the day before is a benefit on day 2. Day 3 and day 4 is when you start seeing the effects of having to play the extra game.

Thats not what he said - he said you dont understand how betting works which appears is accurate. Vegas sets lines with the goal of taking equal action on each side so they win either way via the juice

Turns out this line shouldve been 30
