*** Official #12 IOWA STATE vs #18 Baylor Game(Day) Thread ***

[Malone]

This Baylor team isn’t all that different from BYU. Fantastic three point shooting team, a little worse defensively. None of what’s happening is a surprise.

 

[LarryISU]

BU 9-9 on free throws, 75% from 3.

If we can get this to 8 points or less that would be ideal going into half

 

[helechopper]

Just D up and chip the Baylor lead down as much as we can. Then dominate the second half.

If we can win this game, omg the good vibes.

 

[KCyclone2010]

How do you build a new arena and have this tv angle? It’s terrible

 

[NoCreativity]

Might get beat by 30.

That's a problem here with the group; if it's tough sledding early they struggle to keep up.

This is why I told you 10-8, we aren't good enough to expect to win anywhere on the road in this conference.

 

[clonebb]

Looks like TJ didn't prep them on breaking the zone. He is getting out coached by Drew.

 

[ABECyguy]

We just can’t hit anything around the rim. Baylor is finding open 3s. Bad recipe for us. Also, I haven’t watched a lot of Baylor this year, but I thought that Drew went away the from the zone in the past few years

 

[NorthCyd]

The game plan this whole half is to get the ball down low. It hasn’t worked. The game plan needs to change to have a chance.

I would say it worked pretty damn well, except they just can't get the ball in the basket. Don't miss dunks, layups, and 4 foot shots and this game looks a lot different.

I hate that the camera is right on top of the court like it is. Thank God this is the only Baylor game I am forced to watch,

 

[Marcelason78]

Two fouls on three starters and King having a terrible game thus far is keeping us at bay. Second half will be different.

He did, but switched it up tonight

If we can get this to 8 or leas before half and not pick up a bunch of fouls that would be a major moral victory.

The most concerning part is we had a WEEK to prepare for Baylors zone and we look like we haven't prepared for it at all. King has been so bad and so clueless on both ends that I'd rather see Pavs play in the post than him. At least Pavs would try to do the right thing despite not having the size or athleticism to play the position.

 

[cincinnaticyclone]

BU 9-9 on free throws, 75% from 3.

Tonight they’re as open from the 3 point line as they are during shootarounds

 

[bosco]

Everything going their way; shots, calls, 50/50 balls. Only thing we aren't doing is putting the ball in the hoop. It's not over yet.

Told ME? Haha I'm in the 9ish conference wins bracket. Gonna be some bumpy ones.

Tre 0-6 and they shooting out their ass

Do not beliive Baylor has played this much zone all year. They have been mostly a man to man team.

 

[CYDJ]

Announcers suggesting we're not playing D after 3 straight broken plays after 2 rejections. Stupid ducks.

we have missed at least 10 good looks, shoot 50% in close and this game is 33-31
