Hunter has the ability to get to the rim and elevate. He had a hard time finishing. When the threes aren’t falling a guy like Hunter needs to be able to get into the paint.

That was an amazing game by ISU, easily will be a 4/5 seed in the tourney. Coach might need an extension soon because guy can flat out coach.

Baylor had some wide-open threes with some offensive tweaks that I'm not sure I've seen before, so that played a key role several times, too.
Not a great day. However, he (like our entire team) busts his tail on defense. He took a charge & he played very good d against future pro players. If he wasn’t doing his job, defensively, he would not have played as much as he did today.
My only complaint today is that TJ called a defensive timeout in Hilton after a made basket. Brought back painful painful memories.
…just kidding…kind of

Good effort by the team, proved they can hang with the top talent in the country. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK TEAM!!!
Agreed. But this team can’t have an offensively liability like him today. Hopefully he gets right but 8 empty possessions (2 wide open 3s, 6 TOs) cannot happen.
Depressing yet encouraging at the same time. I think my brain is about to bluescreen.
Yelled until my throat hurt 
incredibly proud of the team to hang around with a #1 Baylor which could feasibly not lose more than 1 or 2 games this year, if that.

Obviously things play out differently if you change the circumstances, but if we make one more 3, a couple more ft and get one more stop, things get really interesting in the last minute.
Hats off to Baylor (and I take no joy in saying thar) they responded EVERY SINGLE TIME they needed to. That effort from us will travel and will win us double digit games in conference this season.
Keep building.

When talking about 3P shooting, there is an argument that shooting is random.
I don't subscribe to that notion. I do think Baylor's quality defense and length impacts shooting throughout the game. I think we make more open ones against a worse defense.
They definitely impact how few attempts we have. Which I love that this staff has made the team disciplined enough to not shoot themselves out of the game
Just saw we’ve now lost our 24th straight Big 12 game. Expected after last season, but that stat continued from two seasons ago.
We had several players that were awful on O today.
Bottom line make a few threes and we win the game. Love the effort, showed we can compete with anyone.
Final thought hopefully after that the FF knob slobbers on here can throttle it done a bit.

I am generally not into moral victories, but I felt as optimistic about this team during that loss than I have some of our bigger wins this year. To know we didn’t play close to our best offensively and they hit tough shot after tough shot against good defense, I don’t have any doubt we’re a legit top 10-15 team.
also super impressed with Enaruna. First time I’ve really see him play with much emotion this year and really liked what I saw.
I will end with a provocative question which is whether or not Grill should be getting more minutes than Gabe?

During the Memphis game they kept talking up Memphis's D when it was pretty obvious ISU was better on defense...today the guys faced a team that is actually that good on defense.
And much of that has to do with BU’s athleticism and coaching.
