Over/Under on Iowa Points vs SDSU

MSGT1 said:
SDSU scored over 80 points 11 times last year, roughly 1/3 of their games, and scored in the 70's another 8 times. That's 63% of their games. They only scored in the 50's twice. I'd argue that they are not a slow down type team . They averaged 74 points per game (14 per game better than Iowa last year) and (more importantly) gave up 73 per game, against the Summit League. This from a team that won 14 games (10 conference) against the Summit League.

I'm not expecting 111 against them, but Iowa will put up way more than 63. I'm expecting roughly 90-78 or so, considering Iowa's tempo now (not under Lick) and what SDSU has done in the past. If Lick was still the coach, I'd expect a 63-57 game. But given Iowa's new style of play, and the FACT that SDSU isn't as low scoring as you seem to think they are, I'll be shocked if either team is under 70.

And I don't have a raging boner over their exhibition game, in fact I haven't changed my prediction for their season one bit. I still think they are a 13-15 win team. I am excited to see them running again, but I honestly don't think it will translate into that many more wins, this year. Not against the Big Ten. Guess what, SDSU isn't a Big Ten team.

That's some ownage right there...
 
72 is a heck of a line, like Stormin said. I think OVER. See us reaching the 80s.

My biggest question with this team is our defense. I think we'll be able to put points on the board. However, I'm not confident in our ability to stop other teams from doing the same. Illinois-Springfield got a lot of open looks against us. I think we'll be in line for a lot of high scoring affairs this year.
 
Interesting to see where the consensus is with Hawk fans.
I set the line at 72, but feel like Iowa will go the "over".
Something like 76-63.
We'll see how the team comes out, when it's "real". Tenative or loose?

What does last year, or their game against ISU have to do with anything (two years ago)? can I say that Iowa will be horrible and only break 50 this year like twice based on last year? NO, things change from year to year. we're talking this years teams, not last year.

They play a set offense, not run and gun, that will slow things down and bring the score down a bit. they also bring some guys back from last year, players do improve and grow over the off season. I don't think there is as big of a talent gap between Iowa and them as you'd like there to be. Too many people have a raging boner over an exhibition game win.

I'll stand by my prediction. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Iowa loses.

please, continue to argue my PREDICTION though...

Holy hell, talk about getting PWNED, nice job.
 
I'm going to go with over on this as well but for a slightly different reason. I think the coaching staff recognizes the importance of bringing the fan base back to Carver and therefore will be less inclined to pull the starters if and that is a big IF they can pull away early. I believe they will continue to rotate 8-9 guys but I look for them to be even more focused at the defensive end as Fran was not entirely pleased last week, especially on rebounding the ball which should also translate into more offensive possessions.

If this team can put up numbers in even mid-80s the next couple of games to go along with the 111 last Sunday, fans will start to take notice and so might recruits which is also something Fran & Company are fully aware of as they look forward to the spring signing period and 2012 class, etc.
