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

[awd4cy]

I do wonder if not playing Nelson is affecting the morale of the time like it did the year Hoiberg refused to play Edozie.

Lol, what?

 

[Cyched]

We could win the natty and there'd be a thread on here arguing over how TJ cut the net down.

 

[NoCreativity]

Final 4 is the ceiling imo.

They are good but i dont see them beating Arizona, Duke, Michigan, or even Houston for that matter in a win or go home situation.

Let me mayor coach?

Back from Ames.
Had a GREAT time.
Let's Go State!

Agree. This team has limitations and it will show up again the next 3 week. Still a great team and the record at the end of the year is going to be one of the best in program history.

they always play well in Ames too. Lost the last two before today. League is a ******* grind no matter what a team's record is.

And Baylor is starting to play better together as a team. It's taken a while for them to gel with all new players. They are better than their record.

Kind of wild to say there's zero chance for a team that's been as good as we have been at times to beat any of those teams in the final four. If we're hot in any particular game I think we could beat anyone once.

I guess we saw different games. I saw a Baylor team that played very tough on defense and covered Momcilovic like a blanket - and he still scored 21 points. I saw a team that outrebounded a very good rebounding team; we came into the game ranked lower than Baylor in RPG. I saw a team that struggled from 3 early on that found other ways to score until the long balls started to fall. Yes, and I saw too many turnovers; we generally excel on turnovers. So, overall, I saw a team find a way to win when some things weren't going their way. That to me defines a champion. Go Cyclones. Love your ballin'.

Well said

this isn't a real thought right? 100% sarcasm...right?

 

[c.y.c.l.o.n.e.s]

Michigan is one of the odds on favorites this year, and absolutely let Nebraska climb back into it last week and take the lead with minutes to go. Michigan had to battle back hard, and eeked out by 3.

Sorry to call you out but you have that backwards. Nebraska led the entire game but let Michigan crawl back in. Michigan took the lead for the first time with about 2 minutes to go.

You have to be kidding

You might be the most insufferable poster on this board

 

[hoosman]

3 positives - Tamin doesn't take any plays off. Heise is now a consistent offensive weapon. Milan is a 2 point and 3 point threat.

And that, my friend, is saying a LOT

Any team can lose if you aren’t on in the tournament. This team has the ability to beat anyone, and I honestly believe that. Arizona undefeated but they aren’t immune to a bad game, especially when the lights are the brightest. They very well might win it all, but our ceiling is winning the whole thing. Low low chance, but it absolutely is our ceiling.

 

[DRCHIRO]

We’re 21-2. You guys have to be kidding me.

 

[Kettes]

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.

FFS, Drew was chirping the whole game! I can't believe he didn't get T'd up before that.

What???? I just ******* said they are really good and they have the ceiling to be the best team in school history, even better than the Fizer team and you guys are still upset?

What opinion can I ever give to please you cult members?

Sure, but the lack of athleticism and depth will hurt this team in the later rounds.
