*** Official IOWA STATE vs #7 Baylor Game(Day) Thread ***

[cyfanbr]

What in the actual **** happened today? Was Grill that much of a problem and we're just a better team now that he's no longer there? Or did cutting him have an unintended consequence of lighting a fire under their ass and waking them the hell up?

The pessimist in me is afraid that this could be just a rally game after a very tough week. However, I rather have this and have hope going into postseason.

Who would have guessed throwing grill off the team and handing out his minutes to hawley eli king and Hassan ward would lead to this?

I might have had a tear just come out of my eye.... getting emotional for some reason. I don't know that this has ever happened before while watching and ISU athletic event. What an amazing win! So happy for this team!

 

[CySmurf]

Nothing Jereseib???

Fran Fraschilla said it best— “That’s coaching.”

 

[CysRage]

Not ashamed to admit that I wanted this so bad for these guys that I’m tearing up.

Just an amazing turnaround. I can’t think of one game even close based on the adversity this team faced.

Me too, my Cyclone brother!!

 

[swiacy]

Wow! Addition by subtraction evidently. Best they’ve played since the KU win.

 

[helechopper]

Before the season started I would have given ISU a 7% chance to sweep Baylor, yet here we are.

WE HAVE A STREAK!!

 

[Raiders70]

BAN ANYONE WHO DOUBTED THIS TEAM!! WE’RE NEVER LOSING AGAIN!!

There would be like 5 people still allowed to post using your criteria.

 

[CydeofFries]

Why was there like a 5 minute TV TO there

 

[Die4Cy]

Kansas would be better but baylor is a close second

Sweeping KU just feels easier somehow.

Nothing Jereseib???

Remember he stopped watching a month ago. And then he kept showing up watching over the last month.

Just seeing them battle was the line today imo after the weirdness and they had other plans.

 

[HFCS]

We are going to win the NCAA tournament now!

Am I doing this right?

There are maybe 10 teams outside our own league I’d be nervous about if we play like our best 10-15 games.

First round pretty much guaranteed easier game than average big 12 game same as last year. Second round could be too.

 

[MyNameEhJeff]

I didn’t give us a chance to win this game. Very happy to eat crow. This was exactly the type of game we needed right now

 

[legi]

What a big time confidence booster this is. Perfect timing.

 

[CycloneErik]

No better team to sweep than baylor

Maybe one team, but I'll allow it.
