BYU Faces Iowa State in High-Stakes Clash: Can They Finally Claim the Elusive Signature Victory?

BYU Faces Iowa State in High-Stakes Clash: Can They Finally Claim the Elusive Signature Victory?

Prediction

Iowa State has a lot of ingredients to give BYU trouble. They shoot the ball well from three, have some high end players, good depth, and have physical guards to bother Rob Wright.

There are some things working in BYU’s favor too. Iowa State is a different team on the road. Cincinnati and TCU are solid, but not spectacular teams, and Iowa State lost by a combined 16 points. They also lost by 21 at Kansas. The Marriott Center should be fired up and hungry to see BYU deliver and elusive signature win. Iowa State has physical guards, but they don’t really have any long wings that can reasonably matchup with AJ. AJ should have a big game, but the big question is can any of BYU’s other players step up? No one could against Arizona, and that was ultimately BYU’s downfall.

I do think BYU keeps this close and has a chance to win in the final minutes. A win would give fans and players a morale boost and show to the committee that this team can beat good teams without Richie.

Ultimately, I think Iowa State’s shooting and physical guard play to hound Rob Wright work in their favor.

Prediction: Iowa State 77, BYU 73
