Not really. It ended up being a close game here and they're much better at home. They've also had time to mature some as they have a lot of youth. Sure, if we shoot +60% it could get ugly, but ISU is no slouch of a team and could give us quite a game. They normally do. I have the game at 7 or 8. 5.5 doesn't surprise me one bit.

Check the box score of the last game.

We've had several close road games if you think past Creighton. UNI, Evansville, MSU, ISUb(until the end) were all close and we lost to Drake. Anything can happen in a close game on the road.

Newshock = Dumb $$$

I hope the Shocker players don't read this S***

And think the can just show up and win.

It will take a great effort and focus to win tonite.

I agree, but it seems like the games we had against the middle of the pack teams, that we have been favored by 9 or 10 on the road.

[SubGod22]

But this team is better than those other teams.

[WuDrWu]

Any road win is a good win. Everybody knows exactly what kind of victory I'd be more than happy to see.

[pinstripers]

I expected us to be 2 pt fave. And this game worries me a bunch (imagine that)
