Here is what is going to happen: 

Iowa State will control the game the entire way, maintaining a 4-7 point lead throughout, but they will never be able to put the Jayhawks away. 
Late in the game the Hawks will make a run and get to within 3 with the ball and 3.4 seconds left.
Fred Hoiberg, clearly learning his lesson after the debacle that was Ben McLemore banking in a last second shot in the first game against Kansas, tells his team to foul the ballhandler as KU brings the ball up the court.
Chris Babb does as his coach instructs him to, but Naadir Tharpe simoultaneously throws up a prayer from half court that swishes through the net as the whistle blows and the game clock hits zero.  As the Hilton Coliseum crowd explodes the "Cyclone Noise Meter" on the jumbotron with a chorus of boos, Tharpe calmly hits the free throw.  Insanity ensues.

Holy hell that would be insane.  I would be all like  :excited: :dance: :horrorsurprise: :runaway: simultaneously.

KU guy just called into the college sports show on Sirius college sports station and said "I kind of feel bad for KU literally murdering TCU this weekend".

I vote Cyclones win.  1st big Monday in awhile, ku does not do well at perimeter defense while ISU shoots >40% threes.  ku has an inside game going, but the defensive effectiveness of Withey is minimal because 'Clones don't want to spend a lot of their possessions going inside.

Don't worry MIR, the Jayhawks will lose to Baylor.  Big 12 Champs!    :emawkid:

What, are we voting for what we want to happen, or what will happen? I'm pretty sure those won't be the same thing.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

So heard about a Holly Rowe tweet saying the Hilton court was slippery and KU managers were using court grip on the bottom of shoes.  Are the stormies trying to cheat or is this just a byproduct of constant flooding?

I think they might use some substance to water-proof their court that leaves a slippery residue. I wouldn't put it past them to cheat, either. They are really good fans, so they should be able to boo their way to better calls and really take advantage of a slick court.

I want to change my answer to "it depends on whether the music guy at ISU plays 'thunderstruck' which always sends the Hawks into a scoring frenzy because they love it"

They played it at GIA and KU immediately felt at hoe and went on a huge run.

If they play it we'll finally be able to prove the Big XII suits fix games for KU

The bus was late gettin to Ames because of the weather and the team didn't have time to get loose.

ISU has never made more than 10 3's in a game in their lives, totally lucky.

The refs were clearly on the take, the Big XII should investigate.

I have never been as embarrassed as I am right now of my team.

40% chance Cyclones win. IMHO.

Probably about right. ISU has down a good job as far as playing KU close in recent years and they are a pretty damn good team at home. I'm guessing ISU either gets blown out or wins a tight game.

We slid all over that floor when we played there.  Cheaters!
