**** WBB: ISU vs #4 Baylor Saturday 12 pm ESPN+ GAME THREAD ****

[AlCyJim]

I did. Turned it on right at noon. Looked everywhere. Went back to the top and there it was at 12:03.

I was looking for it in upcoming game but not listed as b v isu but picture of a basketball player. had to read without my glasses but found it looking ok to me

Clones are beating themselves. Ryan had a horrible half - bad passing repeatedly.. Looks like Diew is having her usual "every other bad game" today. Clean up the turnovers and take it into the post more and things should change. It seems that teams still think that Baylor is still strong in the post and still play them that way. Kansas took it to them and took it in stride.

You may have spoken a bit too soon. Emily now has 6 points; I never count her out. She is just plain solid.

Emily is using #11 in the lane with the cut back soft hook.

Much better option than her right hand on the left side that she was using. We'll need Baylor to go cold like WVU because we look content to give up open perimeter shots.

We've gotten plenty of good looks inside and hit the front rim.

 

[clonebb]

Saw the 3/4 shot replay. She had a 3 plus step running start. So obvious she traveled.

 

[CYDJ]

Blackwell with a lovely pushoff to get the rebound. Wow, missed call there.

 

[jspeels]

I understand trying to get Diew out of her funk, but she has not played well for a couple weeks. Costing points on both ends. I want her to succeed but it’s painful right now.

 

[CYDJ]

Baylor can get away with the push, we can't. Let's keep that in the old memory banks.

 

[BoxsterCy]

Nice sequence by Bristow. She coming into her own now.

 

[Lewey24]

I’m starting to think maybe they shouldn’t let Edwards have unguarded 3 point shots

 

[jdubs]

What has Edwards done to suggest you don't at least fly at her when she has it at the 3 point line? Seems we are leaving her open and she is hitting them all.

This was a good call. I know she missed her latest but the one before that, she was wide open and we didn't even fly at her, we actively backed off.

 

[CYDJ]

Nice ending to the 3rd. Now if we can get rid of Blackwell, that will put more pressure on their bigs. AND maybe we can consider guarding Edwards a little bit.

Then we win....

She’s no Hannah Belanger though

 

[AlCyJim]

3 steps is called traveling in some places. What a terrible non-call if they give this to her.

my only question was why didn;t we have a little pressure on the in bound pass.

 

[Cyclones8824]

Sorry to get ahead of myself, but have the Men’s and Womens team ever beaten top 5 teams in the same week

 

[CYDJ]

Nice sequence by Bristow. She coming into her own now.

Bristow looks like she can be pushed around a little too much right now. but, she is very mobile and looks pretty agile on some of her defensive plays. Maybe needs a few more moves around or to the basket? Haven't seen her enough to see if she has this already?

 

[Cycsk]

She’s no Hannah Belanger though

Hannah has a bad ass streak! She’s even pushed off on a drive in #11. Cold blooded shot at the end of 3.

 

[rosshm16]

Just like last game, I don't even care if we lose anymore (but would love a win!), just a great effort and fight from this team.

 

[Cycsk]

Yeah. Like that!

 

[BoxsterCy]

Seems like a game we will pull a win from.

 

[clonebb]

We would be up 10 if we didn’t have so many turnovers In the first half.
