His recent activity is unironically hilarious, https://www.cyclonefanatic.com/forum/members/darius-bieber.38385/#latest-activity

It's literally just him liking every negative post during the game.

Damn Iowa fan….

When a team is on a roll time off is sometimes a bad thing

I agree except the time off did look like it helped Tamin. He looked refreshed. Dude was all over the place

I wouldn't call Toure's play a disaster, but he obviously made freshman mistakes. Also had a huge, gamechanging play.

Lipsey was just as bad as Toure in the final minute. Lipsey turned it over and missed a FT with 18 seconds left that could have sealed the W.

I missed the Drew tech, what did he do?

Crop dusted one of the officials.

 

[Darius Bieber]

I missed the Drew tech, what did he do?

Kept jawing at officials about moving screens being called/not called

He was jawing non-stop. One of the refs got tired of it and T'd him up. But, a couple possessions later, they called a bogus foul on either Jeff or Buchanan (clean deflection of a ball which would have been a steal). I believe BU scored on that extra possession.

Lipsey looked tired at the end, which wouldn't be surprising with the way he hustled all day.

I'm honestly not too surprised that we didn't cover the spread, but the last two minutes were painful to watch.

I think a natural regression in performance after how well we played the previous four games isn't unexpected. We still have an 85 in game score when I checked T-rank a few minutes ago. It does give us something to focus on before @ TCU.

I got tired just watching him play as hard as he did today. Guy is an amazing Cyclone!

 

[dafarmer]

I fully expected a loss today. Was never comfortable until the final buzzer. Getting over the hump is always hard. But the curse is over!!! Thank God.

Lucky for the win or looking for a house burning.

 

[FLYINGCYCLONE]

Still a good win.
Go Cyclones

We wore Baylor down and then we totally lost focus at the end.

Baylor is playing better and their length bothers us. Same thing happened in Waco. We didn’t play an A game today but did enough to win. We are the deeper, better team and showed it in the second half. Should have won this one by 10+ but took the foot off the gas at the end. I hated how we played the last 90 seconds. That’s the complete opposite of Cyclone basketball.

 

[cycloneG]

Batemon's +/- today was +16 in 13 minutes which is insane. His +/- was far and away the highest. Only three players had a positive +/- today. Batemon, Lipsey and Buchanan. Everyone else was negative.

 

[hoosman]

3 guys on Baylor played all 40 minutes and they still had enough in the gas tank for a 11-0 run to finish. Poor effort poor focus by ISU.

 

[ClonerJams]

Much like Brocktober, Heise just turns into a different player once we get to February.

Heise would've been, except he was in during that last 2 minute debacle.

 

[Clone95]

Batemon had 2 really strong rebounds in traffic. He’s really making a lot of winning plays lately

 

[rosshm16]

Heise would've been, except he was in during that last 2 minute debacle.

The 14-2 run in the last two minutes I think tanked the +/- for a few guys.

 

[StLouisClone]

Getting outscored 11-0 in the final 2 minutes of a W has to be pretty rare. Baylor closed the gap largely without fouling. Heise missed a 3 with 1:13 left. Lipsey had a bad inbound pass with 48 seconds left. Toure threw away a pass with 44 seconds left. Baylor cut it to 72-66 with 39 seconds left. That's when they waited too long to foul Lipsey (with only 18 seconds left).

ISU relaxed too much with the 14-point lead. But I agree with others that ISU extended a lot of energy getting the lead back in the 2nd half. Any W against Baylor is a good W.
