*** Official #19 Baylor vs #12 IOWA STATE Game(day) Thread ***

[HFCS]

Are we already preparing for how the Conference wants to have ku win it discussion?

If there are a lot more that bad it's a certainty. That was just absolutely baffling.

It was probably 5 seconds, then it was obviously a charge...take your pick pushing off or driving with the shoulder...NOPE. Blocking foul on ISU. Stolen possession for absolutely no reason. At least Baylor couldn't convert on the gift.

 

[JusHappy2BeHere]

For the record: Matt Thomas isn't the reason ISU is behind.

That's some bad overall defensive rotation right there.

Baylor also looks pretty good. Quick.

Two good teams playing at a high level... Big XII Basketball.



Did they really say at the start that this is the 26th Big XII game between top 25 teams? Crazy

 

[isulive2train]

Mckay putting on a show tonight!

 

[Jsievers24]

Our defense is really bad. Our guys look hungover and out of it

 

[kilroy]

Doesn't seem we've found the right 5 combo to be on floor yet

 

[cyatheart]

Our first help defense is usually good, it's the rotation that follows that is awful

 

[Erik4Cy]

Good half... Can't believe Chery missed an wide open mid-range going to his right...doesn't happen often.

I don't think I've seen an opposing team's fan in a Gameday thread all year. Baylor has so little fans they don't have their own site/game threads?

 

[ClonesTwentyOne]

Baylor does not miss open shots. Defense has GOT to get it together or we will not win

This. Both teams are playing there best basketball of the season, and its gonna be a battle down to the end. Its gonna come down to who shoots better from 3 in the 2nd half.

 

[IAStubborn]

They came in with a good game plan. Fred needs to get in the refs ear about Rico parking in the lane for 8-10 second stretches with nobody near him. They are daring the refs to call the 3 second lane violation while he is just waiting to disrupt a lob pass.

 

[pulse]

Man Wake really sucks, get pummled at home.

 

[Althetuna]

BU playing tough. Percent from 3 the difference. They're hot. We're not.

 

[kilroy]

Don't like being down by 3, just a bad# for us

 

[CoKane]

If we quit giving Baylor wide open 3s we win. Whenever we pull it in close or take the leads Baylor sinks another 3 with nobody around.

 

[Mtowncyclone13]

First 3 Minutes of this half will define the game.

Meh, clones didn't play great first half

 

[Cyclonepride]

I thought Gathers had two fouls? I know the last one was on him, so the earlier one must have gone on someone else?

 

[Erik4Cy]

Meh, clones didn't play great first half

No they didn't. Very sloppy, BU didn't miss from 3 and got quite a few questionable (at best) foul calls in their favor. I am not concerned that ISU will turn their play around and find a way to win.

 

[cyclones12321]

Baylor's really talented offensively but they're nailing threes like crazy. Only down three, which is probably better than we played.

Agree thought we honestly should be down more. Need to take advantage of baylor not extending their lead

 

[isulive2train]

You'd think we lost this game already. Hey CF coaches! What did you tell the players at the half?
