Baylor is not invincible. Like us, they're 0-1 on the road so far this season. They got spanked at Marquette 96-70. I know the unranked Marquette team is pretty decent, but that's a head scratcher.
Agree, Baylor doesn't strike me as some team to be feared as a fan of Iowa State basketball like they have in recent years. Something seems just a bit off with them this year. Bring them on, I think we have a shot at at least splitting with them this year.

2-2 in the first 4 conference games is very doable. Baylor will be a big challenge, but can be beat at Hilton. If that happens, 3-1 going to Kansas is in play.

Feels like forever since we've played. Ready to get conference season rolling. I'm not expecting to beat Baylor but this Baylor teams isn't as good as they've been the last couple years so it's certainly possible.

Looking at BU's lineup. They are a lot smaller than I remember BU team's being. I think we matchup well to them versus teams like KU, WV, Tech, and TCU who can play a PG and 4 other guys at 6'6"-6'8".

Flagler, George, Cryer (hurt?), and Bonner are all at or under 6'4".

So far, so good!
