I HATE THESE EARLY TIPS!!!

Key points:  Iowa State is unbeaten at home this season.  Iowa State has
played four consecutive games below expectation; the law of averages will
catch up to them sooner or later.  Then again, prior to that streak, the
Cyclones played six consecutive games above expectation, so they appear
to be streaky.  How long will their current below-expectation streak last?
The common opponents comparison is not favorable for Kansas.

Still, the numbers suggest that it should be a toss-up game.  The various
prognosticators are split on the outcome, with Vegas favoring the Jayhawks.
The average favors the Jayhawks by 0.4 points, though with a scatter of
3.4 points.

Did I mention that I hate these early tips?  No more time for analysis.

Rock Chalk!

Common Opponents
================
There are seven common opponents, six in conference plus Missouri, one of
which Iowa State has played twice (Texas Tech) and one of which Kansas
has played twice (Kansas State), plus the head-to-head in Lawrence, giving
us ten scores to compare:

KU   -6 BU  on road ( -2 neutral court)
ISU +15 BU  at home (+11 neutral court)
KU  -17 ISU on road (-13 neutral court)

KU   +4 OU  at home (  0 neutral court)
ISU  +3 OU  on road ( +7 neutral court)
KU  -11 ISU on road ( -7 neutral court)

KU  -23 TCU at home (-27 neutral court)
ISU  +2 TCU on road ( +6 neutral court)
KU  -37 ISU on road (-33 neutral court)

KU   +3 TTU on road ( +7 neutral court)     KU   +3 TTU on road ( +7 neutral court)
ISU +34 TTU at home (+30 neutral court)     ISU  -3 TTU on road ( +1 neutral court)
KU  -27 ISU on road (-23 neutral court)     KU   +2 ISU on road ( +6 neutral court)

KU   +2 OSU at home ( -2 neutral court)
ISU  -2 OSU on road ( +2 neutral court)
KU   -8 ISU on road ( -4 neutral court)

KU   -1 KSU on road ( +3 neutral court)     KU  +12 KSU at home ( +8 neutral court)
ISU  +4 KSU at home (  0 neutral court)     ISU  +4 KSU at home (  0 neutral court)
KU   -1 ISU on road ( +3 neutral court)     KU   +4 ISU on road ( +8 neutral court)

KU  +28 MU  on road (+32 neutral court)
ISU -17 MU  on road (-13 neutral court)
KU  +41 ISU on road (+45 neutral court)

KU   +2 ISU at home ( -2 neutral court)
KU   -6 ISU on road ( -2 neutral court)

Seven of the ten comparisons favor Iowa State, while only three favor Kansas.
Two are lopsidedly in favor on Iowa State (TCU and Texas Tech home game),
while one is lopsidedly in favor of Kansas (Missouri).  The average is 6.00
points in favor of Iowa State, with a whopping scatter of 20.95 points.

Players to Watch
================
most minutes       Gabe Kalscheur (guard)
most points        Jaren Holmes (guard)
most rebounds      Aljaz Kunc (forward)
most assists       Tamin Lipsey (guard)
most steals        Tamin Lipsey (guard)
most blocks        Osun Osunniyi (forward)
most turnovers     Jaren Holmes (guard)
most fouls         Tre King (forward)

Forward Aljaz Kunc has a fractured finger and is likely out for another couple
of weeks.
