Baylor appears to be browbeat and depressed after their heartbreaking loss to OU, which was nothing more than the inability to handle the last few seconds of the game. Since then it seems the wheels are falling off and axles are breaking. However this was the way it looked with ISU before the TX game. Things weren't looking very promising EH ? But suddenly the energy returned.. And thanks to the ability to handle the last couple of minutes properly and prevent a TX comeback things are looking better wouldn't you say. So what's happening today? I thought BU would get thumped in Ames but for some reason the sisters didn't show up that day. Who shows up today? Based on what I've seen lately I'd venture ISU will prevail this time.

Other than Bickle, Baylor looked like track stars the last time the teams met. We couldn’t stay in front of anybody and the Bears got easy buckets galore. If ISU doesn’t play better D, I don’t see a positive outcome! JMHO

Will be interesting to see how Baylor plays. First time since 2009-2010 that they won't win the title so the game is just about NCAA seeding now, important but just not the same. Even hosting is outside the Bears reach while ISU could maybe still host with a crazy run over the next few weeks. I am guessing that's maybe advantage us since that is sort of our normal turf now that our title chase has ended. Neither team can afford any foul real foul trouble, Mr. Obvious here considering the short benches of both teams. Both teams only really played 6 in Ames plus another for a few minutes.

Can't get ESPN+ to work out of country. It seems to block VPNs. No VPN and it only gives you the international sports options. Boo that.

I hope you are right but I'm backing Baylor at home. As the old saying goes prove me wrong. We are a ok team but probably not going too far in the tourney I would be happy to get to the Sweet 16. I really don't want to meet So. Dakota St in the tourney a buddy of mine went there and they won their Division FB championship and I don't need him having bragging rights over ISU for a while.
