*** Official #11 IOWA STATE vs #22 Baylor Game(day) Thread ***

[Erik4Cy]

If I'm Baylor I don't change a thing. Keep fouling on defense and put ISU on the line instead of risking a comeback from fastbreak or ISU getting hot from 3, shoot 3's on the offensive end so if you do happen to miss there will be long rebounds and you can let Gathers rebound said 3's to keep ISU on the defensive.

This looks a lot like the last time we played Baylor in basketball! Can still win this.

If we played any defense at all we would be down 2 or 3. Instead we said **** defense an trail by 12. Should be interesting to see if we want to play defense this half or not

 

[Psyclone Brian]

We need to quit missing shots, especially at point blank range!

 

[HoustonClone]

Doc Sadler would lean over to Fred and say "no more Matt Thomas tonight....." More Edozie. More Niang. Monte Morris just needs to shoot every time down and take this game.

Not likely.

I think I need some Invisible Glass windshield wipers?

 

[crs8975]

I feel like this team was not focusing as much as they should have on this game...

 

[Knownothing]

Thomas cant shoot and he is suspect on defense. Not really sure what he does. He actually reminds me of half the Iowa Hawkeyes players.

 

[Althetuna]

Did people think we we're going to waltz in and take home an easy victory? Game of runs. Need to have one coming out at half.

Watching in an Old Chicago in Denver. Wishing they would put the sound on rather than music. Really missed what the hell was going on with Houge. Baylor is unconscious.

 

[Gunnerclone]

The defensive adjustments shouldn't be too hard to put in to place, gotta do a better job of not having our guards get sucked down low because they think they need to protect for the offensive board onslaught. I'd rather get beat by the offensive glass than the wide open 3 balls. Should give us better chances for run outs too. The front court needs to find bodies earlier and farther up than they are probably used to.

Niang was tweeting and facebooking and snapchatting a little too much. Maybe he should have been studying up on Baylor

He might be tweeting from the bench. Probably getting ready for his pre Kansas interviews.

Aside from defensive rebounding or lack there of and a few dumb turnovers, we are playing about average.
Baylor is just unconscious from deep.
Fix those first two things and the law of average for Baylor's 3 pt shooting kicks in and I like our chances.

I just wish for once we had all our guys shooting the ball well

 

[CoKane]

It's not just football, our fans suck as illustrated by this thread.

Posts like these are why we need thumbs down buttons.

The last time we played Baylor in basketball we were hoisting a Big 12 championship trophy...

 

[kilroy]

Not everyone else's bad passes, missed chippies, fouls??? But Matt missing 1 shot?

No doubt if he would have hit it, game would have changed.

 

[SpokaneCY]

Is that why your butt is sore?

No... That was something else. :spinny:

 

[Cyclonepride]

3 Baylor players with 2 fouls. That could be important

This is harder to have happen when 7 of 8 guys are shooters, rather than 4 of 8, for example.
