1st. Game: ASU or Baylor?

[Psiclone]

Which team do you want to play as our first game in KC? I think we match up better vs. ASU, Baylor's athleticism scares me.

Who cares, they both suck.

Baylor will win. They have been pretty good the past two weeks.

 

[nfrine]

It could be Bobby's last game as coach at ASU too...

Hope it’s ASU, the scout if fresh in our minds. Just build on the 2nd from yesterday. Baylor scares me to be frank. I know we beat them twice but it’s been it’s been a while since that last game in Hilton. Their athleticism & drew is still a dam good coach. Glad we’ll get the opportunity to avenge that tech loss providing we get this first one. That’s been a difficult one to get over the last week.. Go Clones!!

I think we have a punchers chance against TT in game 2. We were ice and they were fire last time.

 

[Erik4Cy]

If ISU plays to even 70%-90% of their full potential, they will beat ASU or BU.

I would guess BU will win (better HC and starting to play better lately.)

ISU's toughest potential opponent is ISU.

Tech is stuck on fire past few weeks. They were 16-35 from 3 last night.

We should beat either ASU or Baylor....hopefully that happens and we get the rematch with Tech. They are playing extremely well but I want Hilton South to get another crack at them.

 

[CysEyesVet]

The timing just sucks. Those morning games are so tough to "get up" for, but hopefully Hilton South is up to the task.

 

[ClonerJams]

If prefer ASU. Baylor has shown they can get hot, we should be able to handle either one

 

[Clone95]

Baylor would be a Q1 game, so: Baylor

 

[bluestarcyclone]

We seemed to struggle a bit with Baylor, more than with ASU (the first half there seemed more about us than them). They may be a bit more motivated especially after their comeback attempt in the last game fell short. And Scott Drew is clearly the better coach between him and Hurley.

Definitely hoping for ASU

I would guess BU will win (better HC and starting to play better lately.)

ISU's toughest potential opponent is ISU.

How many games the past 6 weeks have we played up to 90% of our potential?

 

[FerShizzle]

i will take ASU again

Not sure I’d say we struggle with Baylor ( beat them 4 times in a row and 7 out of the last 8). Probably the Big 12 team we match up best.

 

[cyclones500]

I don't care. Get past whichever it is. At this point, "avoiding a loss" in that slot is only thing that would have any effect on the resume & tournament placement.

 

[chuckd4735]

The timing just sucks. Those morning games are so tough to "get up" for, but hopefully Hilton South is up to the task.

Iowa State is 6-1 in the early game since 2013. Only loss was last year in the shootout with BYU.

 

[JP4CY]

Baylor's best win of the year is probably SDSU.
AZ St has beaten half a dozen teams better than SDSU.

Mentally we're all accustomed to Baylor having freaks and being insanely athletic.

I think our chances are better against them.

 

[Drew0311]

We got Baylor’s number. Arizona state is a little more scary since they have an outgoing coach and talent. That combo is always scary in a tournament. The whole “win one for the coach” thing
