*** Official IOWA STATE vs #7 Baylor Game(Day) Thread ***

[mjhavlo76]

The first half the officiating was horrendous, the 2nd half was a complete “180” and I thought they were incredibly good! lol

 

[Big_Sill]

We were sorta involved in that.

Cool, should be able to repeat in big 12 tourney then.

The best part of the win is no player on the team did anything amazing that they can’t do every night. Not like they made 15 threes or anything. The 3 keys were sharing the basketball and making Baylor work so hard to score and rebounding. I don’t remember a single Baylor fast break.

Something like 19 assists on 26 made baskets? That's the exact prescription that TJ laid out the other day, and they came through in a big way.

Tre had some great buckets. Fatigue set in with him late in the game. Curious to know if he had a career high in minutes this game.

The player that really surprised and impressed me was Watson! If he continues to refine his game, we may have a true gem there.

I think Watson's going to be really good in the coming years.

Unfortunately I had to work so didn’t get to see the game. I’m assuming that TJ got a technical and that is why we won?

Looks like ISU-Baylor rematch on Thursday?

Drew did before half.

So I guess that got ISU jacked up?

You should definitely go to that game.

No it was Drew with the T.

 

[Klubber]

Im too lazy to look it up right now, so anyone know who wins the tiebreakers if UT, BU, and K-St all tie at 11-7?

One of my favorite parts of the game today:

On our last possession TJ had our guys purposely dribble out the shot clock for an automatic turnover. Then Baylor inbounds the ball with 5 seconds to go and Flager flings up a meaningless 3 pointer at the buzzer to get his 20 points for the game.

Seems like Gabe did the same at the end of WVU (or OU?). No big deal.

No, he played 27 today. Not even season high in minutes played (29 against OK state and 27 against Mizzou). He also consistently played 30 or more at EKU but I’m assuming you meant this season.

Agreed. I think he takes a KJ Adams kind of leap next year.

2 KSU
3 Texas
4 Baylor
(ISU 5th)

We are going to have some great athletic perimeter length next year with him and Omaha.

 

[exCYtable]

I tuned in half way through the first half, saw ISU was up 11 and turned it off. I tuned in the second half to watch a 10-0 run by the Bears and turned it off again. Turned it back on with 5 minutes left and watched the rest. It looked like they had everything in control by then. Great win. Too bad they did have a few more games in Feb like this one.

You just described my superstitions/nerves to a t. I do the exact same thing.

 

[RezClone]

BONUS POINTS: That was Baylor's last game ever in the Ferrel Center. Way to close it out fellas!

 

[NENick]

As has been said, great team effort and win! King starting and playing well was great to see. That cut down Jaz's minutes, but let's not overlook the 2 big 3's he hit.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

A win means I get to break out the Rulzzz pre-game prediction award. With an early game there was only a page of nominees. These stood out the most

3rd tie - team did come out focused and while not a 50 point win a 20 point win on the road feels the same as 50.

I also think we will win on Saturday. I have a feeling this team will be more focused and energized!

Last year’s team got down by a million and rallied to make it interesting. This year’s team has a bit more talent. Based on that logic we win.

100-50 good guys.

2nd

Time to shock the world.

Clones beat the bears like a dirty rug.

1. Giving Carver the nod as Holmes was leading scorer and had the assist on the exclamation point dunk by Osun. Watson played great minutes especially the one possession where he kept the ball alive and ended up with a dunk.

Thanks, Rulzzz! Maybe Holmes and Dr. Watson can solve the mystery of putting a big orange ball through a hoop.

 

[madguy30]

Two possessions, two turnovers... We're collapsing

How did this turn out?
