Iowa St. 1/17 2:00 Peacock

Opening it up. I think the starting 5 can hang. The problem is the subs can not be counted on and the wheels start to fall off. Why is Jordi not getting any kind of run? I don't see much distinction between him and Shon.

I predict an upset & we win 80 to 78!

If it is that close, the Cats will lose.

perhaps outside forces causing abaev to play over Jordi.

Yep the holders of the NIL cache want to get their monies worth. As far as the Iowa St. game, I think the starting five can hang but we need to get some breathers to them. Kriisa needs to relieve some, JJ needs to be more effective when he's in. And Tillery needs to get some pt too. And Baba needs to play the way he did against Colorado. It will be close if they do hang, but not so if they start to fade in the second half like they're prone to do.

It has the potential to be a close game except during the last 5 minutes of the second half. UC has not scored FGs - very rarely - in conference games when there is under ~4 minutes to play. I see a repeat happening here. Like Chevy Chase character said in Spies Like Us - "I had to stay to the very end only to find I received nothing." That's how I feel this will play out.

Per Chad Brendel, Jordi hasn't been getting on the court because he's having trouble adjusting to the physicality of the American style of play.

Per gobearcats.com, for those attending the game, wear WHITE.

I don't have the knowledge and/or capability to start a new thread. With that said I would like to hear what people have to say about the big betting scandal that has come to light in college basketball. Can someone who is more knowledgeable than me start this out?

There are already two threads on this. The first started under the NCAA Legal Thread.

That my friend is a very apt description of how this team performs in the second half 👍

[BearKatz]

Peacock again! Too bad, I really wanted to watch this one.
