why are you posting dumb stuff? ISU is a borderline top 25 team. I picked them 4th in the league.

Manu hits a J. 49-47 ISU, timeout Drew 11:28

Not scrubs but we are failing to exploit our strength down low and our guards need to not leave guys on the perimeter.

Can't afford a loss at home in the Big 12 if we want to win it.

ISU does a great job of doubling bigs. don't be fooled by tonight's shooting in first half, this is a defensive team. #55 O, #17 D

Al bailed out on a wild drive, will shoot 2 after media @ 10:37. ISU 52-47

hopefully a couple FTs wake him up... him not starting tonight has clearly made bad Al show up

This is going to be very hard to keep within reach until Joe can get back in. 3 fouls sucks at this point.

Any team can beat anyone in college bball especially if u have a guard oriented team that spreads the floor and can hit 3s like ISU. Look at KSU at KU last night and Tech beating WVU.

Isu is a good team. They are like Bu in that they have experience. Also Morris is one of (if not the best) guard in the conference.

ISU really smart jumping out ball screens making our guards dribble back out. Makes getting it inside tough. Need to figure that out. AL heating up. Need more guysbattacking like him.

Naz Long is a great player too, and Matt Thomas can kill you. but a few of their role players have really played well tonight. Babb and Bowie are suprising me.

Motley to Maston for 2, BU leads 53-52! 9:20

Motley has to touch the ball every trip down the floor. It shouldn't be up for debate
