I think it was a lot of things. The team had to respond for lots of reasons, but let's not forget they were dead tired for a month. They needed their legs back and the Monday nighter couldn't have come at a better time. It may have hurt us Monday, but they were ready to rock today.

All made for a lot of fire and we won almost all of the floor burn plays. It was beautiful.
that and TJ used the bench and everyone stayed fresh. It was just what we needed.

Oklahoma is up 38-21 at the half on TCU. If OU wins, ISU is a lock for the 5 seed in the Big 12 tournament. If TCU comes back and wins, ISU is a lock for the 6 seed. A very good chance we will have a rematch with Baylor in the quarterfinals.

Not trying to diminish our win, but Baylor looked like absolute poo today.
They did, but I don't want any part of them in KC on Thursday. They will be fired up for revenge. Looks like that matchup is likely with OU up big over TCU at half.

Agree. Pulling for a TCU comeback, Tech, and Texas so we get K State.

Baylor played abnormal but ISU also played great hence why ISU crushed Baylor. A great win nonetheless.
Baylor played bad, that's the only reason we lost.

Orrrrrr, we played very well and made Baylor look like they were playing bad adn that is the reason we won?

Such a conundrum.

One of my favorite parts of the game today:

On our last possession TJ had our guys purposely dribble out the shot clock for an automatic turnover. Then Baylor inbounds the ball with 5 seconds to go and Flager flings up a meaningless 3 pointer at the buzzer to get his 20 points for the game.

Way up there
Beat Baylor 77-62 at Hilton and 73-58 in Waco. This is just a bad matchup for Baylor. They shoot great but aren't any more athletic than us, we're bigger and more physical, with a better front court. It's a different Baylor team than we saw 3-5 years ago.

I will approve of exchanging a couple meaningless 3s for crushing the meaningless three shooting team.

I learned a couple things today. There is life left in this team, and Golden Oreos are vastly superior to the original.

Tre had some great buckets. Fatigue set in with him late in the game. Curious to know if he had a career high in minutes this game.

The player that really surprised and impressed me was Watson! If he continues to refine his game, we may have a true gem there.
