One of ISUs starters Kunc is out with a broken finger. He was their best rebounder and 3 point shooter % wise. That'll help off set us being minus Cryer. Isu is not good offensively. The key to beating them is not giving up 2nd chance points. Limit the points off turnovers and force them into contested jump shots. They also haven't played in almost 2 weeks as their last game was canceled to the blizzard we had. It's a winnable game but we can't commit dumb turnovers. Also have to find a way to run Grill off the 3 point line. He's a guy who can hurt us from distance
