***#8 Iowa State vs. #5 Baylor (Monday, 6:00)***

It’s easier said than done but it’s been Bill’s biggest weakness as a coach. He doesn’t get the athletes and size of Texas and Baylor but he just has never come up with a good game plan against those types of teams aside from just hope the threes are splashing.

Have to try something different and also throw a little caution to the wind because these types of teams typically just own us. Other teams Kansas and OU for example managed to beat/play really good game’s against Baylor and Texas. No reason we can’t.

How does Baylor have 3 conference losses?

They are significantly better than us.

I don’t get this game plan at this point. You are a three point shooting team and you aren’t willing due by it. We are taking it the rim and this isn’t working. Just start shooting at will. Been blown out by Texas twice and Baylor once already. Who cares if you get torched again but this inside game isn’t working.

Lost a couple early. Think they were trying to get in sync with their new coach. Not sure if they had some COVID/Injury issues as well.

Just tuned in, yikes.

 

[jctisu]

Thank you Lexi. Just shoot every time.

100% agree. The constant driving into the paint to get it blocked or not even get a good shut off it’s just like a turnover. Stop trying to get a foul call and shoot.

Ashley is not playing well tonight.

 

[TheJackWePack5]

Joens is really, really struggling.

Need her to be great to beat teams like this.

 

[ISU_Guy]

if there is such a thing as WNBA scouts, Ashley is not doing herself any favors tonight. She is still amazing and all that, but is being exposed a bit with bigger faster players.

 

[jctisu]

Trading 2’s for 2’s.

Baylor’s talent and recruiting are on another level compared to us. We may beat them here and there but nothing consistent to be able to win big 12 unfortunately.

Yep, I think she will struggle on the Pro level with athleticism and size.

What will a loss tonight do to our chances for playing at home for the first round of the tournamen, especially since the ******* squawks probably will get to play in IC?

 

[jctisu]

This is why the game plan of getting it inside and not kicking it back out for three like we should be is crazy. Egbo has been in foul trouble and they are still owning us in the paint.

She's having to do it all by herself while getting physically assaulted every trip down the lane.

We will be fine. Just beat WVU and win at least the first game in the Big 12 Tournament.

There is no way we don't play in Ames. That's locked in.

 

[Royalclone]

We simply just don't matchup well with Baylor

Or Texas
