This Saturday is must win, if there ever was such a thing this early in conference play, because starting out 0-3 with this type of team is a doomsday scenario. This team has to fight and claw for everything they will earn and starting 0-3 might cause some doubts that will be hard to recover from in this league.
We have 2 of our 6 toughest games out of the way (WVU 2x, OU 2x, KU 2x).
TCU, Tech, Texas are all good teams as well but they are much more beatable than those 3 above.
Iowa State is a team we can sweep.
Iowa State just isn't the same this year as the last 6. Prohm has all of his guys now and it doesn't look very good which is good news for most of the Big 12.
ISU Scoring
Most of their production comes from 4 guys.
Jackson, Babb, Wigginton, and Lard.
Solomon Young is their X factor who can have some big nights.
Their offense runs through Nick Babb. If the name sounds familiar it is Chris Babb brother. He averages 12p, 7a, 7r.
They go as Babb goes. Much like we defended Young in the 1st half, same concepts will have to be applied to Babb.
