*** Official #1 Baylor vs #8 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[helechopper]

We’re a number 11 caliber team, but not top 10.

I’m trolling you guys, c’mon!

We’re top 10.

 

[Cychl82]

I’m more than impressed by this team and our coach. Need some shooters and better ball security and this staff will really have some great runs imo

 

[cyatheart]

not bad, I think they did as good as could be expected….Just not a lot of room for error….too many turnovers, too many offensive rebounds, bad call to go zone gave a free 3 points…not enough 3s….and it didn’t help that Baylor is a lot better

now the cold reality of the schedule settles in….need to beat tech Wednesday

 

[cyclonestunners]

They’re freaking legit.

And so are we, just not top 10 legit and I think we can all agree on that.

Super proud of this team.

I didn't see anything today that shows we're not right in that top ten conversation. Most top ten teams would lose shooting 1-14 from 3.

 

[cyatheart]

Shoot better than **** from 3, and we win this by double digits. Lost by 5 to the #1 team in the country instead. I'm bummed, but get that issue fixed, and we should be pretty damn good.

I don’t think there is any fixing that issue, get used to it

 

[CyNews]

Heckuva effort, and that makes you feel better. And why do I think there were no Cyclone fans showing up at the Kentucky bowl win? Oh, more class than that?!

 

[JM4CY]

We’re a number 11 caliber team, but not top 10.

This doesn’t make sense for multiple reasons.

 

[IFA Cyclone]

Human nature I think. Sad but just something we have to put up with. It's a repeating phenomenon unfortunately.

I hate it too.

100% agree!! He played well on defense just shots weren’t falling and appears to have made him press on offense with some passes. He needs to be on the court for defense if nothing else. Offense was hard to come by for most of the team today not just him.

 

[Final42b]

Frustrating game but I do feel better about the rest of conference play after today.

 

[davegilbertson]

While this was an L, if we can get this out of Enaruna rest of season, watch out.

 

[CloneGuy8]

If we get that Enaruna for the rest of the year, look out. Gabe has to be better on offense though.

 

[CycloneErik]

Yeah. This is year one of the rebuild and we're this far along. We'll be fine.

 

[Jkclone15]

Tyrese Hunter is improving so quickly it's amazing. Could see it between how he played at the start of the game and how he played after he came back in in the second half.

 

[quasistellar]

Impressive effort. One more 3 made by ISU and one less clutch defended shot by Baylor and we would have had some real magic.

Gotta hand it to Drew and company. They had ice in their veins and earned a hard road win.

 

[Nococy]

What else is nice to see is a 33 page in game basketball discussion. Thank you for for bringing the excitement back Coach Otz!!!!

 

[awd4cy]

Any the bleeding starts.

Because we are now 12-1 with the 1 loss to #1?

 

[CyNews]

Terrible passing and worse shooting. That’s game.

Sheesh. Effort is fun to watch in basketball....lots of little things.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Tough one but Baylor showed why they are the number 1 team in the country for a reason. We still showed today that we aren't a fluke and we are a legit team to be reckoned with.

 

[ca4cy]

Sohan for Baylor is an awesome freshman.

They keep refilling the pipeline with guys that are a perfect fit for their system. Outstanding scouting.

 

[mynameisjonas]

Now that we got that out of the way, no more losing at home.
