Scott Drew just called his first timeout.

 

[EYEoftheSTORM]

The boys hold on to the lead down the stretch today to notch conference win #1. Crowd energy feeds the team when the offense is in a drought.

Time to end this ****!

Time for a big cup of coffee fellas.

Today and Feb 27th are our only remaining games that are neither on the road nor against a ranked team.

I really like that all the guys in interviews are keeping their heads up and saying what you'd want them to say. It still seems like a confident group, and I think things will really pick up once they get that first one. Might as well be today.

 

[ClonesFTW]

I’m going to be fueled by Bloody Mary and Es Tas tacos in Hilton today. Lets goooo!

 

[I-stateTheTruth]

My two pre-game comments (probably uninteresting): 1. I really enjoy watching this young ISU team grow and develop and 2. In my morality league standings, I have Rape U at the bottom. I wish them NO success, even against Kansas.

Hopefully Baylor will be as cold as the outdoors today.

Opportunity.
It starts today against BU.
Thing I am looking to see:
1. Wigginton staying assertive and perhaps take over the team's leadership role that he showed in HS. It is early for a freshman to do so but I think in the long run it could be the best if he assumes it. I think it is only a matter of time he does just waiting for the game.
2. Continued outside shooting form D-Jax against the Zone.
3. Brase in the high post distributing. In past years Niang and Burton were used at the FT line to break the Bear Zone. Brase seems like the best post for that role if Prohm wants to continue with that strategy.
4. Upping the pace on offense. The team needs to score early before the BU zone can be set as often as possible. Not to mention our lack of recent success in general late in the shot clock.

Well we just hung with a ranked team until the end in the toughest road environment in the Big 12, so I'm not too worried.

History would say I am foolish, but I have a good feeling about today. Even some our better teams lost to Baylor at home. Love how the team continues to fight. I expect a close win. Our margin for error is always razor thin. We must have good games from both wigg and Jackson. If either is not good we will have a very hard time winning.i have not watched them much, but this Baylor team does not seem quite as long as their usual teams. Agree with another posters comment - I hope Baylor never wins a game in any sport. Some of the biggest hypocrites in college sport.

Count four of us in for being there today! I haven't been to a game in Hilton that ended in a loss since the 2013 KU blarge debacle (still BS). I'm feeling good about today!

[Bestaluckcy]

Yea, get to see my favorite team play again today. Let's do this guys. May the threes (force) be with you!

Can we sustain a 5th consecutive loss in conference, a 3rd consecutive home loss to the Baylor "Borg"? Cyclone booster, and Whisky River regular, Jean Luc Picard sez, basically, not gonna happen:
