Texas @ Iowa State -5
Think Iowa State was reading their own press clippings and looking ahead to Texas on national TV and Big Monday on Saturday when lowly Texas Tech, a bottom feeder in the mighty Big 12 beat them in Lubbock? Well of course they were. Meanwhile on Saturday Texas was busy blowing a chance in a big game against Kansas on national TV. There is no surprise either.
2 Key factors in this game. First of all Rick Barnes is overrated as a coach and quite frankly cannot coach a big game and win it, never has and never will. Great fade coach in big games, he simply cannot coach his way out of a tough spot against a good team. Secondly Iowa State is a BEAST at home, Hilton Arena one of the toughest venues in the country to get a win at, it is a snake pit. Iowa State is undefeated 10-0 there and Texas’s 62 ppg on offense their last 5 games is not going to cut it on the road against a high flying, ticked off and embarrassed Iowa State team.
