Definitely an interesting matchup.
Babb did a great job against Denmon in the first matchup, I think 6 is Marcus' season low.
However...
Iowa State shot over 50 percent from 3 while Missouri shot just 24 percent. Missouri also had the worst foul trouble it can have (both Moore and Ratliffe picked up 2 early).
That's what it took for it to be a close game in Ames. I would expect Missouri to shoot better from deep while Iowa State shoots worse in Columbia. Which probably means it's not nearly as close a game.
Royce White is an undeniable X-factor, but he's not Superman - especially on the road. He's averaging 11.4 points, 11.3 rebounds, 6.4 assists on the road, but that balances against 3.9 TOs and 3.2 fouls a game (with him picking up 4 fouls in each of ISU's past three road games and in all road games against NCAA-bound teams).
