Under Greg Lansing, the Sycamores are 24-12 in close games, but that is a sign of a lot of good fortune. ISU has been blown out three times by 17 or more including by Wichita State, yet they have four wins by four or less. Wichita State has yet to lose, but has just three wins of less than nine points.

While so much has been made of Wichy State playing an easy schedule, it has only been a notch below ISU. Look for Indiana State to again get blown away by a quality foe as they have been wont to do.
