*** Official Baylor vs #7 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

Jefferson is definitely off today.

Jefferson has been god awful

 

[BillBrasky4Cy]

Absolutely brutal half from Jefferson. Gotta have him in the second.

 

[Erik4Cy]

This 3-7 Baylor team played some of the best and most inspired basketball I've seen out of them in months that 1st half.

And ISU is still up 37-33.

Jefferson sick or something today?

 

[cyclones500]

All things considered, I'll take it.

That final possession was terrible.

 

[rosshm16]

Really happy to have a small lead at the half with how most of that half win.

 

[Jeffreyisu]

100% shocked that half court shot that the buzzer didn't go straight in.

Batemon and Heise nice minutes. Batemon becoming a favorite for sure. Contributing well as a freshman and only gonna get better. Just need Jefferson to get going a bit. I think that week off is hard to come out of

Love Jefferson. Love what he brings 80% of the time.

He’s the perfect case study of “intelligence vs confidence.” It’s so damn obvious he gets in his own head frequently.

 

[Lineup]

Did Jefferson even dress out?

Needs to sit

 

[Lahey]

Jefferson is never any fun to watch. Bad handles and super slow. Everything is forced.

 

[not-the-manager]

Iowa State obviously a tick off. Heise and Batemon have been the steadying forces. There’s just a lot of physicality being allowed down low, and while Baylor doesn’t really have their patented athletic big, their guys are just throwing bodies at Jefferson. He got full on shoved on one of those rebounds Batemon grabbed just before half

 

[CySmurf]

Jefferson will be better in the 2nd half...and we still lead by 4 even with his pretty bad 1st half.

 

[KCyclone2010]

Jefferson needs to stop being so soft around the rim. He’s being very hesitant. Multiple easy layups if he didn’t pump fake

 

[HoustonClone]

Did you notice how Drew got that screen call after his T (Buchanan's second foul)? Got exactly what he was looking for there, and the refs handed it to him.

He’s second in Kenpom POTY.

I’m not normally about calling people names. But you’re an idiot.

 

[Erik4Cy]

Jefferson is never any fun to watch. Bad handles and super slow. Everything is forced.

Never? His two triple doubles were pretty damn fun to watch imo

He's been over dribbling and has had a lackadaisical 1st half, gotta give Baylor some credit for some good, physical defense on him. JJ has to adjust, I believe that he will.

 

[Old87]

Baylor’s length causes problems for the Cyclone offense. We need some halftime adjustments to free up some outside shooting.

Really like seeing Batemon bring some toughness off the bench today.
