One guy did mention points per possession and got completely ignored.

Yeah, I was going to say. That guy is alright with me. He gets a free pass.

I'm sure it was _FAN posting some bait to see if anyone would bite. No one's dumb enough to cheer for the 'clones yet smart enough to understand possession stats.

Yeah, us and bro kansas are solid top 4 seeds for NCAA tourney while ISU fights to stay above water in the play-in game.  Would you rather be compared to kansas or wichita state (protip: this is where you are)?

[GoodForAnother]

lol, I just looked at bracketology and saw ISU in the play-in.  what a bunch of losers

Is this empathy by similar circumstances?  We're not quite there yet.

Just an update from the ole Blumpster.  I just had a 1/2 ton chunklord near the University of Iowa (State) take me up on my offer of intercourse in exchange for a #2 (super sized) meal from MacDonald's. 

Thanks Iowa, stay fat!

Must have been one of their business school graduates if she negotiated you up to a super size.

It was a stiff (pun intended) negotiation.  She learned fancy business tactics (such as heavy breathing and falling asleep mid-conversation) but the deal was sealed. 

Thanks Red U of Iowa.  Time to go grab my kayak in case it floods (which is likely) and head for Boone, IA (about 10 minutes from Iowa City).

And they insist that this is their best sport

Official Preview

Every time you play Kansas State, Weber’s best player Rodney McGruder is going to be a focal point of your defensive game plan. Guess where Chris Babb will be tomorrow? McGruder 6-for-11 and scored 13 points in round one. Because of Babb, McGruder is much less of a match-up nightmare for Iowa State compared to most teams in the Big 12.

Will Spradling is the Wildcat that has my attention leading into tomorrow. He went 4-for-5 from downtown against the Cyclones earlier this season and led Kansas State with 15 points in that game.  Iowa State’s Tyrus McGee has gotten lost on defense quite a few times this season, giving up threes along the way. Because of that, Spradling is a big concern, especially playing at home on Saturday.

Don’t look now but Iowa State is a trendy “upset” pick for Saturday. I’ve seen numerous national college basketball writers take the Cyclones in this one. Iowa State is a sexy basketball team right now. The Cyclones sling it and score the ball often.

The Cyclones get criticized often for not being a good road team but I think you can argue against that. From a win-loss standpoint, no, the Cyclones aren’t as good on the road as they are at home. But dig a little deeper and you’ll see that in two of Iowa State’s three road losses (Kansas and Oklahoma State), the Cyclones actually played well.

What's most important though in my mind is this question: How can Iowa State just not show up when it is playing for a league championship? I think that pound for pound, the Cyclones are better than Kansas State and that's why I'm picking Iowa State in a thriller.

The Pick

Iowa State 71, Kansas State 70

Cliff Notes:

- McGruder won't be a problem because Babb
- Spradling is probably KSU's best player and ISU must find a way to shut him down
- God damn we are one sexy bitch, prob the national media's fave team
- If you just dig a little deeper you'll see we're not bad on the road at all
- I mean, how can we just not show up, right?  Plus we're way better.  We'll totes win

[KSUblumpkin]

Thanks for the cliff notes.  Understanding delusional Iowan is difficult sometimes and I needed a translation.  That preview reminded me of that scene in Silence of the Lambs where Buffalo Bill tucks his junk and says to himself "I'd f*ck me."
