Iowa State vs Texas 2pm

There is a huge match up problem today. Iowa State, the most exciting team in college basketball, will face off against Texas today. If Iowa State wins this game, they will be favored to win the rest of their regular season games, and could jump another 2 seeds in the March Madness Tournament. They have everything to play for. Texas scored 86 points in a loss in their last meeting with Iowa State a month ago. The longhorns put up a mind blowing 61 points in the 2nd half and still lost. It was their best offensive performance of the year, and it wasn't good enough. They don't have that kind of offense to win this type of game, that was their best punch. They only score 68 ppg, 155th in the nation. Texas relies on offensive rebounds to score, in order to do that you have to crash the boards. This sacrifices your ability to get back on defense. Iowa State are looking to push the pace. Texas' nature and need to get offensive boards is why they won't win this game, Iowa State will absolutely crush them in the transition game.

The landscape in Conference USA has changed over the last 3 years. This conference was once dominated by Memphis is now up for grab every year after the realignment of power conferences. Louisianan Tech will travel from the warmer south to the freezing east coast to play a hungry Monarchs of ODU. Louisiana Tech has the best record in the conference but the ODU is undefeated at home. The Monarchs have won 14 straight games in the the "Lion's Den", which includes a victory over the ranked VCU Rams. The Ted Constance Center is an electric environment that a true basketball fan enjoys. Majority of the players on the team are hometown kids and the community comes to support them. The home team plays hard, not pretty. This season ODU has held visiting opponent's to an average of 52. Defense will be the main focus of the game tonight. ODU runs a game controlling offense which is built to wear down the defense until they get a good shoot. Louisiana Tech is an offensive team that will grow impatient with ODU's style of play. The Monarchs will get a team effort tonight and grab a big win to help them get off the NCAA bubble. A loss here and Old Dominion has no shot at going dancing unless they win the conference tournament. A Win here, and Old Dominion is right there in the discussion.
