These guys are tough as nails. We should get the loose nail out of the floor and make it into a trophy for the trophy case.

The 3 guys with superior +/- #s today: Lipsey, BRE, Hason!!!

35 offensive misses and 21 offensive rebounds. Simply incredible.

Baylor was 14-29 from 3 and 12-13 from the FT line and lost to the tougher team

Is my math bad, or does that mean they only scored 18 points inside the arc? Dayum!

SWEETTT CARROOLINNEE

Great win.

You can all thank me for turning it off when they went down 8 after halftime. I had losing stank on me today and yes I am superstitious.

Real winner: KC power and light

It's going to depend on Baylor's execution. If they move the ball side to side and stay away from the baseline, the have the talent to beat our defense. If the ball gets sticky and we force them into spots we like, we will be fine.

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.

That will pad the resume!!

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.

You're fun

I turned it off because when we got down 8 I was told here it was over. Some of you never learn.

Baylor hitting like 55% from 3 and only up 3. ISU in a good spot. Keep pounding inside

They dropped off in the 2nd half. Tired legs will do that to you, well they did hit a couple late.

 

[SoleCyclone]

44-17 rebound adv. WTF!

 

[Halincandenza]

I think I’m gonna put some money on WVU.

 

[Cupped]

Great team effort but I predict T Mobile Center will be known as the house that Gabe built by Sunday afternoon!

 

[madguy30]

This team my goodness, tough as nails . So damn easy to root for.

Unless you're Baylor.

 

[tim_redd]

love the on court post/pre game show

 

[CentexCyclone]

Great, gritty win by the Cyclones. I expected Baylor to regress to the mean from 3 in the 2nd half with they (somewhat) did. But did not see at 44-17 advantage on the boards (w/20 ORebs!!!!) coming. Lipsey w/13 pts 11 Rebs and 5 assists is totally on brand for Oztelball 2022-23.

 

[exCYtable]

That moment when Gabe gave the headnod in the second half. That was the moment Baylor was f*****

 

[ZRF]

You're fun

No matter how hard you try you can never be Veloclone.
