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

[CySmurf]

ISU is still only one game back. Yes we ****ed up. But they can still accomplish what they want to accomplish. Zero room for error now. Kansas has to lose to Oklahoma and we have to win out.
But man I'm ****** right now. Might as well go shovel snow.

He's probably the most favorably officiated player I have ever seen play in B12 play.

That's crazy, it's the thug rapper Frank Mason by a mile.

Glad we won't be a 2 seed in Kentucky bracket. Wisconsin can keep it!

Nothing really surprising here. Last home game against WVU, ISU left Conner and others open for a bunch of 3pt shots in the last few minutes, but they just missed most of them. BU didn't miss them.

This team just won't play consistent perimeter defense, and they paid for it again tonight. Fortunately it hasn't resulted in a couple of more losses.

We can still be the top 3 seed and play in Kentucky's bracket too, although playing like this will certainly move us away from that too.

 

[Cycl1]

still have a shot at the tie for 1st, but man that was disappointing.

 

[GTO]

To make things worse, the Hoks won in an empty arena tonight.

When we were up 5 and Baylor started their run, I remember thinking that we had a really odd combination on the floor. I'm not sure, but I think it might have been Nader, Hogue, Niang, Long, and Thomas.

The conference title dying tonight is the most disappointing part of this loss. TT loss was embarrassing, tonight's loss is just deflating. Worked hard for the opportunity, and let it get away the first chance we got. Can the NCAA tournament start now...I'm over the conference at this point.

We can still win. OU gonna beat ku. We gonna beat ou, KU gonna beat wvu. that happens and we take care of the bottom dwellers we are #1 seed. Or a million other possibilities could happen too. 5 teams playing really good bball right now. gonna be fun.

 

[helechopper]

This one stings but at least we've got the big 12 tourney and the madness to look forward to. My hats off to the Baylor Bears for shooting lights out to take the victory. It was a really impressive performance.

Hang in there Cyclone fans, there's a lot to play for yet.

 

[Die4Cy]

Gotta regroup quick. KSU looming. Can't worry about titles anymore, whatever happens will happen. Iowa State, if they put in work, still will have good things happen.

 

[Althetuna]

Man I was so excited.....was.

 

[Mumbai1986]

What's unnerving is that in the NCAA tourney, mid major teams are very 3 point dependent. If we can't guard the 3, we could easily crash right out of the tournament in the first round.

 

[HandSanitizer]

still have a shot at the tie for 1st, but man that was disappointing.

I have a better chance at Kate Upton than winning the league.

We still have to beat TCU and KSU on the road. Then OU at home. Hell...we could lose all those games.

meanwhile....UNI played Creston tonight and won and is the next best thing ever.

We can share but KU is almost guaranteed a share of the title now.

 

[Gerbs]

Indiana Jones had a

Hogue didn't do anything all game, Georges really struggled in the second half.

McKay stopped getting looks when Baylor switched to man, ISU didn't score much after that.

Sad excuses on the biggest game of the season

You are guaranteeing a win against a team we had a 15 point lead on and came back to beat us? Wish I had your optimism.

You are correct. I think we went without Morris and McKay for too long. Baylor sat Gathers down and we tried to counter their strategy. It ended up hurting us, as we were 1 and done in all our missed shots after their made threes. Plus no Morris meant we took hurried shots as well.
