Just an absolutely awesome win for the program.
Baylor, is extremely talented, has been one of the hottest teams in the country over the 2nd half of conference play and has the 6th best odds to win the national championship. After two tough home losses by the Cyclones and following one of the hardest weeks as a team. Iowa State just beat Baylor by 15, on senior day, in their own arena.
That's coaching, that's culture, that's leadership. That's also why you get guys who understand the aspect of a team, are coachable, and are genuinely good people. Great job by the staff and great job by the guys on this team.
In my opinion, this win makes a 6-seed the floor in the NCAA tourney. Iowa State is viewed highly by the committee and I think this win erases a good deal of the "late-season dysfunction" narrative. Likely a 5 right now. One or two wins in KC likely puts them back in the discussion for a 4.
Amazing work by this staff and team, looking forward to a couple post season runs!
