He’s a similar type of player as Kegan Murray but with more athleticism and upside.

Would love to catch him with a second round pick for my nba team next year.

Keegan Murray couldn't sniff Sohon's jock but I would love to see him get the chance.

But can we all agree on that?

I was prepared to be humbled today, but these guys belong. If we're merely bad from three instead of abysmal, we're pushing Baylor to the limit. I'm not ready to concede that we aren't top ten.

Ive seen Purdue play several long stretches worse than any stretch ISU has played and they seem guaranteed a 1 seed and top four ranking.

I see no reason ISU can’t be a 2, 3, or 4 seed.

Really proud of our guys tonight. We proved that we truly belong. Gotta take care of business the next one and snag one or two in the next three games of the gauntlet!

Last year, Baylor could pace themselves against us, try for a few minutes at a time, and keep a comfortable distance.
Not this time.

A win would have been gooder, but man, our guys never, ever stop.
This will be Scott Drew's office talking about having to play us again.



"He's all wrong for us, baby. I saw you beat that man like I saw no man get beat before and the man kept coming after you. Now we don't need that kind of man in our life. I know what you're feeling. Let it go.....let it go. You're the Champ."

Didn't get hardly any breaks
Gabe, Hunter and Kunc with less than best on O
1-16? From 3
Hunters first Big12 game
Took #1 full 40 mins
Baylor had 5+ difficult makes after tough D for 25-28 seconds
=
Coming up 5 pts short

I'm all in boys. Nothing but proud of these kids and this staff. Keep grinding.

PS
And Gabe, keep shooting with confidence. We need you.

He’s on a team with basically 8 star players and his usage rate is low, he’d be scoring like mad on lots of teams from what I saw today.

tough to go 1-14 from 3 and beat Baylor, but otherwise superlative effort by the Cyclones. Outscored them 44-28 in the paint! Lots opportunity ahead for the Cyclones.

Wish we could have pulled it off but we just proved we are legit. We were one of what should have been the last two unbeaten teams if USC and CSU were playing. Baylor played really well and is really good and we still almost knocked them off. If we would have won we should have been #1. As it stands we should stay right around that top ten mark.

I don't need to rewatch the game. I am not going to try to change your perspective, you will feel better if you can blame someone I suppose. Is it his best game, no but his hustle and position is critical to the team defense. I am not going to suggest I know more that TJ about who could have played better but you probably have insight I don't.
The back to back missed 3's hurt his confidence early, but he still made solid effort, hustled his ass off and won a few possessions on the defensive end.

Not sure what we can gain from tearing him down. My biggest complaint is I'd wish he would've shot a few more 3's. We need him.
