*** Official IOWA STATE vs #10 Baylor Game(Day) Thread ***

They keep trying to pump up Baylor.

Those rebounds, wow. That's impressive.

For years, Baylor destroyed us on the glass. 44-17 in our favor today. Incredible.

I wouldn't say it didn't matter. That's three wins against a top-3 seed in the NCAA Tournament, including on the road and neutral.

For sure. I’ve just seen plenty of us post things like it would be nice for them to get rest etc.

I just really wanted the players to get a chance to really experience the Big 12 tournament. In some ways it might be more fun for them than the ncaa since they will be surrounded by fans.

Yeah, KU can be the overall 1 seed, even after we beat them. Again.

He chooses to be miserable to cope with stress I guess.

If this is directed at me, it's hilarious. The same 5 idiots go through threads and comment on any 'negative' comment made while completely ignoring positive comments. Veloclown literally goes through threads to quote or 'dumb' a negative comment. Not once has he ever responded or tagged a positive comment.

Pretty pathetic to go through message board posts simply to cherry pick comments. It's comical.

But I think Baylor will rest up & could flat out destroy a couple teams on the way to the Sweet 16

their defense is horrible though. will depend on matchups. they can knock down ft though, which I'm jealous of and it will benefit them in any close game.

Also did John walters not do the game on the radio? I just turned it on and the women’s guy is on.

Wow, Lampkin left the team

Wow, Lampkin left the team

Again!?

 

[NENick]

Hope Baylor makes to a championship game rematch!

30% of Baylor's losses this season have been to Iowa State.

44-17 rebound adv. WTF!

I'm going to look this up, I'm sure you are correct... but my goodness that is a stat.

I would have leaned toward 'rest' if we finished the year well and had consistently hit on all cylinders. Right now it's more important to get/stay on track, gain confidence, and re-establish seeding.

We hate playing the Mountaineers the way Baylor hates playing us. Give me KU.

Agree, but 3rd game in 3 days would be awfully tough for WV.

 

[drmwevr08]

I think you're all missing the real problem. This team is shot. The only team we can beat is Baylor!
So bad.

 

[BillBrasky4Cy]

It really is a problem and it's not just lacking 'ball handlers'. Several times it's like guys aren't even paying attention, with teams showing press and guys have to come back from midcourt. We are also slow making 'the first move'. The worst things you can do against the press is holding the ball or hugging the sideline. Several times Jaz should have taken a dribble or two, then gotten rid of the ball immediately.

Our MO seems to be 'wait until we are trapped' before doing something. It's maddening to watch.

We actually do a pretty solid job breaking presses.

Outside chance that if they win this tournament Des Moines could become reality.

Awe to the Some.

GREAT JOB, CLONES!!!

 

[NWICY]

Great win! That Holmes rebound/putback on the free throw was AMAZING!

 

[CyCloned]

Unacceptable giving up a last second three pointer in waco, at the end of the half today, and the end of the game today. Haha, I'll let it slide.

Not sure what the heck they were doing out there at the end. It looked like we thought there was 1.5 seconds left instead of 12. Shouldn't have hurt anyone betting, but I am sure TJ had a few choice words for losing focus at the end.

If we play this way and win the B12Tourney nobody is going to want anything to do with us.
