*** Official #1 Baylor Vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

That missed half court shot is really going to screw with Nixon's average.

He shot zero percent before the shot so missing that not as big of an impact as you might think

Baylor at -4 might be the easiest money anyone’s made all year

Yeah I was wondering what they were talking about; the studio guys said it too. It jumped to -5 right before tip (for obvious reasons) but still a bargain. Then again, who knows, maybe they'll pull another Auburn by not quitting in the 2nd half & nixing the Nixonian 3s with 17 secs left on the shot clock. #MambaMentality.

Prohm ain't perfect. But we would at least be tied if guys made higher % of wide open quality shots.

Also we had some bad decisions that become wasted possessions. Guys make the extra pass when THEY HAVE a quality shot. Other times we take really bad shots instead of passing to teammate.

 

[Dannynoonan]

please explain Prohm's subbing wtf

Quantum physics would be easier.

 

[fsanford]

I thought Grill would be as good as frosh CJ Frederick from Iowa

At least as a shooter. But 23% fg this season, and 17% from 3-pt land? that's brutal

Frederick got a redshift year. Grill would have benefited if he got same

 

[Hoggins]

I’m beginning to think that I’d rather have McDermott come back over Prohm. And McDermott sucks ass

 

[67CY]

Hope they can keep it from getting ugly

 

[awd4cy]

The comments not running an offense is wrong. Got great looks on many possessions, just need someone who can make a wide open shot (not Nixon) Also ran a great backdoor out of a timeout but GCs bounce pass was, well, poor.

Illinois and West Virginia are worse than us shooting 3s, they manage to avoid being terrible in spite of that.

Who is the white dude in the Big12 "home and away" commercial? Is it an actual player or a crisis actor?

 

[Doc]

Realizing we hid Jake last year. Brutal, just brutal.

 

[Cy Hard]

Team minus Haliburton and Bolton 1-13 and 0-5 from 3

And good news, we'll get to see that same crappy starting lineup to start the second half, until he gets a chance to bring in Grill and gawd knows what other lineup mistake, sigh.

I don’t understand how Prohm doesn’t play the lineup that made the game against auburn competitive in the 2nd half.

Ilini have a freak in the post. WV also has a strong front line

 

[Doc]

Let’s do this

 

[WastedTalent]

Conditt off the bench was a rugged baller that was needed and him and Solo have seemed to have switched personalities lately.

Right. That's what gets annoying with the lineup preachers. A month ago everybody wanted Conditt in for Solo, and limited time for Griffin. Now they want Solo and Griffin starting.

Outside of Tyrese and Bolton, this team has not been near consistent enough to preach a certain lineup that will provide wins.

Now the lack of a quick hook for a struggling player is an issue.

 

[Doc]

Feel that weight in your butt George

 

[SpokaneCY]

Worst double team ever with Nixon and Jacobsen?

Neither one has scored so it seems to be working?

 

[Cyinthenorth]

Jacobson is bad and should not be playing anymore in this game

Oh my!
