I think Cam is likely at the end of the rope.
Big 12 tournament matchup vs Baylor
- Thread starter Cyclonepride
- Start date
This coming from someone with an avatar of an early 90s Kelly Kopowski. #cool
I heard a Vegas bookie on the radio this week that claimed 70% of teams that lose the first two meetings will also lose the third meeting.
We had this same discussion two years ago in the 4 vs. 5 game against OSU except we were 2-0.
Yes, the first two matchups were close which likely means the third will as well. An offensive rebound here or a turnover there will decide the game.

The difference is either losing or winning a close game at this point, either for the team or the fans -- or the coach for that matter -- is massive at this point.
Baylor will whip ISU on the glass. They’ll send everyone to offensive boards. ISU will simply let it happen like always
Me and the entire men's basketball will be having nightmares of Freddie Gillespie and mark vital every night from now till Thursday
The way we beat Baylor is having everyone crashing the boards when Baylor shoots the ball. We like to have one or both guards leak out, so we can start the break. We cannot do it against the Bears.
Baylor will throw up poor shots figuring they will get the rebound, they have done it both times we have played them. We need to stop worrying about trying to get fast break points and stress defensive rebounds the next few days in practice.
We also can not settle for quick 3 point shots, move the ball, and do not be afraid to attack the hoop, we will get fouled and be shooting free throws most of the game, if we do.
If we revert back to bring the ball down and throw up a three, unless we are shooting like we did against KU at home, we will be in trouble.

If this line is anywhere close to pick or Clones as a dog, I will be betting on the good guys. Too easy to say Baylor will win a 3 time against this team, plus there hasn't been any advantage in Hilton, but a different venue couldn't hurt.
Sadly, have to agree with this. But don't understand it. Scholarship to a P5 school pi$$ed away? Maybe he has one foot out the door because he has an alternate plan in place. I almost hope so. I really like to see ALL our guys coming out of this institution I love succeed in life.
Good point. Scott drew has written the book on how to beat Iowa State
Two years ago we beat OSU for a third time in the 4-5 game. It's definitely overblown.
TBS, I think our guys will be ready to go on Thursday.
I'm in the same boat. I don't feel like we played great either game, but we were in them. If we can hit shots and not get absolutely killed on the glass I like our chances.
The hard part is that stat likely includes a good number of games where the winning team was a definite favorite all 3 times. So the odds were strongly that it would go that way.
Probably harder to find data, but id be interested in seeing it in games where the games were both close the first 2 games.
I'd guess that would be closer to a coin flip on the third game, as both of the prior games were basically a coin flip as well.
Prior to February we could hang in games even when shooting poorly. I don’t know if we can get back to that, but we’re capable.
Repeating something I posted in another thread earlier this week:
At Baylor: lost 73-70; out rebounded 33-28, offensive RBs 10-4. FTs, them 17-20, us 7-8.
Home: lost 73-69; out rebounded 44-28, offensive RBs 18-8 (yeah, that wasn't good).
Not quite as bad, in hindsight, especially considering the FT differential in the 1st game. Lets just score 74 and we'll be good!
