*** Official IOWA STATE vs #3 Baylor Game(Day) Thread ***

[t-noah]

Baylor called for 11 fouls. ISU called for 22?

Um again.

 

[Blandboy]

22-11 foul differential; like Baylor never fouls.

 

[NWICY]

Well after that rough start heck of a effort by the guys. On to KC and then the tourney. Something hardly any fans envisioned.

Hit those last two one and ones, and we're up four with all the pressure on Baylor. Who knows.
Proud that our guys didn't fold down 29-4.

I almost did

Maybe we can play our way into a semifinals rematch in KC, but getting past Tech’s defense is going to be a tall order. We will have to win ugly.

I sat just 3 or 4 rows behind Norm at a game in Hilton. He was getting in a ref of Latin heritage and then as the guy walked away, Norm yelled, “Hey, Taco Bell, I’m not done talking to you!” And didn’t get a T. We yelled, “Hey Norm, no racial slurs, this is Iowa the education state!” (Anthony Peeler’s family was two rows in front of us) Norm turned around, looked at us and actually winked! He then turned back to the game immediately yelling like he was out of control, but we now knew he was under perfect control.

Yeah TJ should study that. You know he studies about everything. You also know TJ is nothing like Norm.

But I agree TJ needs to cut it loose once in awhile. We'll see. He is really trying to stay in control his first year. I think he will realize he can't remain passive all the time.

After the quick foul on Akinjo in the first half, Baylor wasn't called for a foul again until under 2 minutes. Insane.

I like how this played out. No team we were gonna face first game was gonna be easy. Gonna be a dogfight for sure but tech hasn’t been playing all that great lately. Also gonna be a home game for us.

Also had great 3 point looks during that stretch for Gabe and IB couldn’t knock down.

That's a pretty awesome story.

Yeah he has to figure that out, he just bends over for these guys every tine.

I volunteer to sit on the bench and get designated technicals for the team. I'd even volunteer to get kicked out of a few games. If there is anything that I KNOW I would be All-American at, it would be that. For you with the close connections to TJ, pass it on.

Okie State knocked off Tech today 52-51

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Loss is on me. After going away I watched most of the last 5 minutes.

Teams game plan to stop him. We don’t have anyone that has consistently been Robin to his Batman.

Teams game plan to stop him has been happening for some time, but he can still do what he did against WV and OU.

They put better length on him

 

[sdclone]

Just imagine if this team had one more consistent shooter.

More to the point

 

[cyclonestunners]

That’s what you chose to focus on in this thread? Yea it autocorrected because I didn’t spell out “and” in a game on a Saturday night that we were down 29-4 at one time.

Lol have to have some things I'm getting joy out of after that first half performance

 

[CYDJ]

Well.... Thye didn't in the first half. 2 fouls was laughable. We had 11 I think. Means we were almost even in the second half. hmmmmmmmmm......
