I’m with you on OSU over ISU. Wouldn’t shock me it ISU won but I think OSU is playing the better ball.
It will be interesting to see what kind of crowd shows up for day one, as ISU usually has the second biggest following after Ku. OSU has been very good in the past also with have a strong fan base, but with both teams not having good seasons this year and the virus I do wonder what the turnout will be.
My heart definitely wants to go with KSU but the fact they’ve just been pretty bad and when they have done well, haven’t been able to sustain and that TCU has already beat them twice, I’m having a hard time not picking TCU.
The cats played well against ISU but how much of that was it just being ISU and senior night? ISU is easily the worst defensive team in the conference. And they don’t have a rim protector like Samuels and a shot maker like Bane, who has killed us.
But my heart still wins out this game over what I think is logic. So I’ll also go OSU and KSU also. Then onto the Baylor beat down.
The men and women are on similar conference tournament paths.

OSU has been playing well recently, on a 3 game winning streak which included a win over ISU. ISU does love the Sprint Center, but the are on a 3 game losing streak and lost 5 out of the last 6. Losing Haliburton for ISU pretty much killed their season as they have gone 2-6 after his injury. Rasir Bolton missed the game against KSU because of a concussion and didn't practice yesterday, Prentiss Nixon has a sprained ankle but he did practice. Going with OSU here.
TCU has swept KSU this year with Bane and his 3pt shooting doing most of the damage (12-26 in the 2 games). Can KSU stop him? TCU has also had a few upsets at the end of the season beating WVU and Baylor. KSU broke the losing streak, but that game didn't seem like a regular occurrence. KSU might have a bit of a home crowd. TCU still has a shot at playing in the NIT (if they have it) so they could use another win. Can KSU/Sneed pull together another strong performance? I have to go with TCU here.

With KSU having the late game I expect a later arriving KSU crowd. Let’s hope they’re not also making an early exit.
Can we keep TCU from setting records for 3 point shooting? If "yes", we've got a good chance of winning, but both times we played them this year they just rained death on us from distance.....

Well quite a first game finish but I think we all managed to pick the winner by the narrowest it margins.
Let’s see if the cats have anything better to show in the post season. I do see most don’t have any confidence in the cats. Point spread has been slowing going up.
