People were saying we were similar in style to BYU. Obviously a better team then them.
ISU split with them and was terrified of being matched up with BYU.
Cyclone fan here. I think a better comparison would be Baylor. Baylor's adjusted O ranking was #6 prior to the dance and you guys were #2. Adjusted D, you guys were 143 Baylor was 152. The Bears averaged 82 and change PPG compared to your 84 and change. We played them at Waco, they won 70-68 (we made a 3 at the buzzer upon review it was .1 sec late). We played them in our conference tournament and held them to 62 (we won 76-62).
Our offensive struggles against Wazzou really had to do with their length and our guards adjusting. Agree with other points though, if you score 70 you'll be in good shape. If you take care of the ball and limit the turnovers, you'll be in good shape. It comes down to which team is able to execute/impose their style of play...I'll be stressed like I always am!
