Stat Geekiness

Big12Sports.com only needed an hour to update the MBB stats page of their website. Based on the numbers, you have to like ISU's chances Saturday in Lincoln.

Even though the numbers are skewed with ISU having two more conference games than NU, ISU is better than NU in virtually every stat when looking at the averages per game.

Now to be fair, the Huskers have so far have a 2 point home loss to Baylor, a four point loss in Boulder and two blowout losses to Kansas. Those two blowouts will skew anyone's numbers. Their trip to Columbia Wednesday will tell us alot.

Plus, we can't discount the loss of Wesley to the offensive flow. ISU was in a funk for about 15 minutes of clock time after he got hurt, and only halftime got their offensive head screwed back on.

Now that I've conviced myself that ISU can win, NU will put together their perfect inside-outside game and win going away. Its a total jinx, and it's all my fault. Sorry about that, folks.
