***Baylor Predictions***
- Thread starter Cincyclone
- Start date
I'm not concerned about our offense. We will find ways to get shots. Baylor is long and once we adjust to that (if we need to) we will be fine on offense. The defensive end is what is concerning. 1 and done for Baylor and defending penetration...we do those things and we have a good shot.
ISU has been pretty flat when they have had quick turnarounds, and Baylor is struggling right now. If this game was at home, I would prob predict a win, but I'll go 72-70 Baylor.
Based on Dougie G's analysis ISU should win. Didn't he say ISU would lose its road games to the conference dogs? Since Baylor is tied for 3rd, thus not a dog, ISU wins!

I don't think Baylor can win a close game against a good team right now. If it's 72-70, we're walking out with a win. They need to win by 10-15, because they're not tough enough to handle close games with good teams.
And Scott Drew.
I think we're going to beat them to a bloody pulp. We should shred that zone with the way we moved the ball yesterday. The only thing that concerns me is staying in front of Pierre Jackson.

I would have expected the line to be around 7.5 or so, 10 is a bit surprising. I am honestly not that afraid of Baylor. I don't know why, but I'm just not. I think they either come out Monday with a chip on their shoulder, or they come out flat and demoralized. I honestly expect the latter, this past week was a pretty big blow to them and I haven't seen any mental toughness in them to expect them to fight back. Problem is, we haven't shown much ability to play well with little time to prepare for teams on the road.
That said, I think it's a really competitive game. We have a better shot than most think, but it'll still be VERY difficult to win. Baylor by 4.

But if you're down a couple with 2:00 to go, I've seen a lot of games that were closer than the final score.I could see either team trying to come back and plans backfire and they lose by 10 or 12. That's different than being outplayed by 25 points most of the game and pulling it within 10 or 12 at the end,but the score is the same.
After the drake game. I will always trust Vegas. Those ****s!
EDIT: ISU goes down 77-67 because Vegas said so.

in case you haven't noticed this season we've been playing just as well as mizzou and KU and we play a similar style to both with our outside shooters and monster in the middle and both of those teams have embarrassed baylor at least once this year. it'd be a big win but not one of the biggest in program history
