Say a little prayer for our boys tonght. These two games this week are very important! They need to get these wins at home. Hope Criswell and Horne keep up their great shooting, everyone plays as a team, and we get big contributions from our inside guys. Also need to play tough D against ISU guard in order to shut them down. Once again hope Venters gets more playing time, everytime he comes in he's aggresive, scores, and provides leadership. Would also like to see Seyfert with a great game. GO GRIZ!! Hope to see lots of fans there as well supporting our team.

I think its safe to assume that Marquis Poole for ISU will be wearing Mansell the entire game... As we've seen before, Mansell is a great defender and can shut down the other teams guard. As you pointed out shutting down ISU's guards is a must. Their other guard (Gardner) is shooting very well from 3 point range, so keeping a hand in his face is a must. This year he's shot 43.8% from 3point range (42 of 96) and averaging 13 a game. I think the guard matchups for this game will be a fun one to watch.
