We are in Hilton!
And yes, I forgot it was a white-out day. Sigh.

 

[Ms3r4ISU]

ISU up 15-12 at first to of first set!

 

[Ms3r4ISU]

Now up 18-14 at Baylor-called second TO of first set.

 

[Ms3r4ISU]

Baylor’s second called TO because it’s 20-15 Cyclones in the first. This has been fun so far.

 

[Ms3r4ISU]

We win the first set 25-17!

 

[Ms3r4ISU]

10-7 Baylor in second.

What is with the back to back schedule with the same team?

It's been that way since covid to make traveling easier

 

[Ms3r4ISU]

Now 13-11 Baylor.

What is with the back to back schedule with the same team?

think that started last year for many of the conference matches. Saves on travel expenses and it’s easier for me as a fan to plan for.

 

[Ms3r4ISU]

22-18 Baylor in the second, but we’re on a 3-pt streak. Our TO.

They did it during covid. Then in 22 it was back to normal Wed- Sat home and away. Then with all the new teams in the Big 12 they had to redo the format because there are too many teams to play everyone home and away. Plus...ADs love the money saved...but it's not as much fun for fans!

 

[Ms3r4ISU]

Ah, nuts. Lost the second 25-19.

Actually, I like it when I get to see good teams play two days in a row, especially when the away ones aren’t on a channel I get.

How is the crowd?

 

[Ms3r4ISU]

How is the crowd?

Better than I thought it would be. Although there are plenty of open seats and Cyclone Alley is kind of lacking in numbers. The band is great
We’re up 4-3 in the third.

 

[Ms3r4ISU]

Play under review challenge by Baylor. Confirmed - we’re up 11-10.

I understand the initial negative reaction of not playing teams home road. But the Big12 already does it with baseball and softball- so I don't see it as a crazy idea.

If it saves travel costs and allows programs to invest in other aspects of athlete development for Olympic sports, its a good idea.

 

[Ms3r4ISU]

First TO in third with Baylor up 15-13.

 

[CycloneErik]

Oof. Looking rough.
