I had to endure last year's OT loss at the home of a friend and ISU grad out here in western Colorado. It scared the hell out of him, and it was a disappointment for me.

Fortunately, he's visiting Madagascar and South Africa right now, so I won't have to relive the experience, at least not in his presence. If it's another nail-biter, I hope the ball bounces our way for a change.

It's a really hard game to predict for me, and a lot depends on if Gary Clark is 100%.

I think we're a slightly better team, but they have home court, so my prediction is it comes down to the final 30 seconds.

I don't see how they defend Kyle Washington. Seems to me they play 4 fairly big guards which suits us, as we play 3 anyway, and Gary Clark will do well enough on their 4th option.

I think the game is in the high 60's point wise. It should be a great game for Gary Clark if healthy though, as they'd have to put a guard on him in the post most of the game.

Mick doesn't typically win these kind of games. The difference from us being a Top 25 program and a Top 50 program.
