You've posted this in at least 2 different threads. Who cares? What is your point?
That game was in OT as well. Mel still had a better stat line because rebounds > points

Yeah, I've been thinking this too, but I didn't want to ruin Melvin's historic night.
But outside of him, we looked bad I thought. TCU had no business hanging with us, and they did. With a couple minutes left, I think it was a 9 pt game. And this TCU team is horrible.
We definitely played down to our competition today, with the exception of Ejim of course.
Hard for the rest of the team to "look good" offensively when one of your guys is scoring 48 points. MM had 7 assists and 1 TO, Kane had 10 assists and 3 TOs. I'll take that every game.
Re: Melvin freaking Ejim!!!
It took Melvin 10 fewer minutes to get to 48 than it took LaFester to get to 54 points. If this game had gone to overtime like LaFester's did, at the pace he was going, Mel would have scored 61ish points and 23 rebounds.
I'd say that Mel hitting 48 in 35 minutes gets to make a strong argument....

I don't think TCU is as bad as everyone claims they are in this forum. Yes, they're the worst team in the best conference in the country. Even so, I feel they hold the dubious distinction of being the best last-place team in the country. That fact and $5.00 will buy you lunch.
Congrats to Melvin Ejim on the great performance today!!
Interesting to see what TCU will do in a couple of weeks. Will they collapse on Ejim and make ISU hit outside shots? In any case, I'm hoping for a nice ISU win as I am taking some friends to the game.

TCU has successfully slowed the pace against us in every game since they joined the league. They took more fts than us and made a higher %, also hit a higher % from three than us. Hit a 3 pretty much every time we'd get it above 10.
We'll have to play tough, but we should win @TCU. I am kind of surprised they haven't won a home game yet, they must have absolutely no home court advantage or played their best game of the Big 12 season today.
They're definitely not terrible. They're getting more talent and they are well coached. I predicted a win by 12 as we mentally took a deep breath after the gauntlet we just ran through , and I think that was pretty close to what happened.
It seems like they're recruiting very well for being last place and having no fans. Maybe Baylor fans are right and players just line up to play for religious schools in Texas with no fan support. The two freshman today look as legit physically as any Big 12 freshman not suiting up for KU.
There's no way in hell we lose at tcu, sorry. We knew we had this game in the bank 5 minutes in, I'm not worried.
Re: Melvin's done gone blown up!!
You think, if the rapture happens this week, the folks at the Big XII office won't be left behind?

Exactly. I think Fred knows that you can't get jacked up for every game in a long season.
This is pretty cool, imho:

I remember being in the Brewster gym when then-Iowa State assistant T.J. Otzelberger was watching Ejim. Great evaluation. I wasn't sold.
