*** Official IOWA STATE VS Baylor Big 12 Tournament Game(Day) Thread ***

A lot of contact on that drive by Babb. Refs are mostly guessing at this point.

Great energy 1st half as we were able to get transition offense going.
+ 50% FG
+ 52% Trey (6-11)
+ 80% FT

 

[HFCS]

man if THT could double this half...

32 points, 12-20 fg, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 6 blocks

That’s unbelievable. Effort play. Hope they keep it up

 

[Cyched]

Only have the radio stream at work, but can’t help but be pleased with that half

Fouls have me a little nervous, hopefully the guys play smart and dont get scared

 

[HFCS]

+1 Offensive rebounds, +3 rebounds

Rebound like that in most of our B12 games and we'd have been in the mix for the title with KSU and Tech.

Yep, and you know that is probably what Scott Drew is talking about right now.

I also hate that Spitola guy on ESPN:

Not making FTs lately? “He needs to get tougher”

Foot on the line when you caught a pass? “That’s a toughness issue”.

Shoe blows out and you twist a knee up? “It just shows a lack of toughness”

He just has a look that makes him easy to hate.

There's just something about his face...

Best half of basketball I’ve witnessed out of ISU in a long while. Now we just need to duplicate that over the next 5 halves (or, if you really want to be ambitious, the next 17 halves).

I can’t belive how close Zion was to committing to Iowa State. We would be contenders if he committed

He did commit...he's sitting on the bench. Doesn't play much.

When Shayok misses a three pointer it's because we didn't pass the ball. When THT makes the three pointer on a later possession (w/o the same mentioned pass) it was because we shot it in rhythm. You can do better, Fran.

There’s only two halves..?

 

[awd4cy]

Very impressed with us in that first half. The effort is strong today. Strong on the boards as well.

Yup. I don't care if it took them too long to figure it out. I just hope the hell they have and we see the consistency we should from them. Can be a fun run from here.

Ohhhhh thank u for helping. Duke must be our g league team he’s playing on rn.

CBB is beyond cliche now.
