*** Official IOWA STATE Vs #2 Baylor Game(Day) Thread ***

He needs experience. You think we were gonna win?

Odds would say no.. but we had momentum down by what, 13? With 6+ to go? I wasn't ready to throw in the towel yet..

Rebounding and free throw differential (aggressiveness) has been the difference tonight.

 

[jcisuclones]

Sure. They just need to be at like, Duke, or something.

Seems to me like we should have gone after a solid grad transfer rather than go all in for a high school project. That, to me, is a rebuilding move. Plenty of non-blue blood schools lose guys early and they still do fine. Quit making excuses.

It's not my best work, but why do you have to be like that?

My therapist says it’s because I push away the ones I love

 

[tim_redd]

Nice dunk by Grill!

 

[MeowingCows]

Good enough to reload enough to not be godawful and not at the bottom of the conference? Yeah.

This game against a top team in the country tells us nothing useful about our future place in conference.

I highly doubt we finish last. Probably won't be top half, but not last.

 

[bluestarcyclone]

While we are certainly not good this year, we aren't a certainty for the bottom.

Even being in the race for the bottom is pretty unacceptable here.

 

[CYDJ]

Grill showed some hops there, whoa.

You’re no fun to talk to any more if you like Prohm lol and also thinking “better players” has nothing to do with coaching.

I like Prohm. I think lots of people like Prohm.

Not sure about his basketball program running thing but right now, it is what it is. You're watching a marginally talented team try to run with a team that just rolled KU in the Phog a few days ago.

Having better players has a lot to do with coaching. Baylor has better players. Experienced players too.

Lol?

 

[awd4cy]

Good moral victory

 

[Doc]

Oh you ******* better not cover late.

 

[bluestarcyclone]

You going to do that all game?

There wasn't another lead change after this post. I blame you.

 

[ISUKyro]

Ha! Didn't even beat us by 20.
Suck it BU!

 

[Drew0311]

Can we get grill to go out for wide reciever also? He would be sick at wideout

 

[motorcy90]

You think our program is good enough to reload after 1-and-2-and-dones every year? We aren't Duke. A select few programs in existence can manage that.

so your saying we have NBA talent but are a bottom feeder team in the Big12??

We took a grad transfer this season. And a young transfer.

Baylor looked outstanding on D tonight.
The thing with their rebounding is, they always have length and it seems like that lenght can tip a lot of balls out to the arc where one of their guys is waiting. Been doing it that way for a long time.

 

[MeowingCows]

We have one NBA talent, and even he's been struggling in the last few big games. Like tonight.

Did ISU go after a solid grad transfer?

Sometimes, schools recruit players, but those players decide to go elsewhere.
