I would beg to differ and think which Baylor team shows up is going to decide the outcome. Why......because we rarely dictate. The Baylor team that played against CU we have a fighting chance against. The one that just played UT.....:no:!


At this point...we need a trap game to happen to them...and our team playing its best game of the year.

Dang their guards are good...Tweety was just nuts against UT.

Hoping we catch them napping...

How it usually goes, we'll let someone on your team get hot from three and go down early. Fight back to a close to tie game with 8 or so left in the half. Go on a patented 15-2 run and take a lead at half. Score the first 6 out of half. Get lazy/ya'll start pressing and it gets down to a 4-6 point game. We hang on for dear life, make some free throws and win by ~8.

Close, but switch which team opens hot and which team goes down early. Then we fight back. Still Baylor up at half. Double the amount of Baylor's unanswered points to start the second half. End is correct.

This would be an excellent week to break out of that cycle though, especially with K-State coming in next weekend.

another good omen for the clones. #20AP/#24Coaches Last few year we have a bad tendency to lose the first game after being ranked in the coaches poll, re:colorado.

And the ISU team that played against Texas has a chance . . .

Oh wait -- that team doesn't exist anymore (-Boozer, -Lucca, +Colvin).

Never mind.

I thought we more-or-less dictated the Colorado game.

Two words come to my mind: "Trap Game"

It feels good to go down to Austin and pick up a big win, but I don't want our team getting overconfident. That's what happened when we lost to Colorado. Baylor got ranked in both polls after a 31 point victory over OU, and we went up to Boulder and laid a nice big ol' Baylor egg. I think there is going to be another letdown this week. HOWEVER, unlike the CU game, this is going to be played in Waco. It's going to be closer than the experts think, but Baylor gets it done.

I voted in the 10-19 points category, but really think I should have voted 20+, like Baylor 79, ISU 55. But then again, I'm one of those "snarky negative" types.

This one will be over at latest 10 mins into it. No cute second half comeback this time. The score depends on if Drew wants to make it embarrassing but the outcome will not be in question.

ISU 59

We do have a shot vs. K St though.

Carter, Dun, and Acy should have fun. Lomers will be a good matchup for Hamslamwich.

I think we play well and keep it within 15 on some really hot shooting from CB.

Baylor by ~15. They are playing good basketball right now. They just beat Tejas on their floor. Of course, if CB shows up like he did against CU AND MG can play well AND we go better than 1-12 from 3 AND we don't turn the ball over +15 times AND we pick-up where we left off with rebounding, we may just have a shot.
So you saying we have a chance?
