Had a record keeping error yesterday. I was 14-15-2 going into the 18th. On the 18th I went 1-1 which brought my record to 15-16-2, but yesterday (the 19th) I again posted 14-15-2 instead of the updated 15-16-2. Anyways, just wanted to get that out of the way as I know there are sticklers out there for accurate record keeping. Nothing to hide here. All plays accurately documented win or lose. 15-16-2 coming into the 19th, then 2-1 on the 19th brings me to....
Updated Record: 17-17-2 (50.00%) -1.7 Units
Only one play for today
BYU -5.5 (1.1 to win 1) - This is a tough spot for Iowa State. The Cyclones are coming off a big home win over Michigan last weekend and now have to take their act on the road and face BYU. BYU is just insane right now. They are playing at warp speed, averaging nearly 80 possessions per game, which ranks them 1st in the nation in terms of adjusted tempo. The Cougars are led by PG Matt Carlino and SG Tyler Haws. Haws missed a few games with an abdominal issue but he should be good to go for this one. I'm not quite ready to put Haws in Jimmer territory, but he's cut from that same cloth. An elite, flat out lethal scorer at the college level, this guy can fill it up from anywhere on the court. Flat out, assassin. I already mentioned Carlino who is one of the most improved PG's in the nation and SF/SG Kyle Collinsworth has tremendously improved his game as well. Those 3 lead the way for an offense that isn't just fast, but extremely efficient as well. Anyone can run if they so choose, but with BYU it's like organized chaos. They rank 11th in the nation in offensive efficiency to go with the 1st in adjusted tempo when I mentioned earlier. Now you've gotta face them in their building (which is always sold out) and at altitude? Good luck. Don't get me wrong, I like Iowa State, but this is just a tough, tough spot and match up for them. You don't wanna follow a huge win like they had the other day with a game like this.
Good luck guys,
David
