*** Official #20 IOWA STATE VS Baylor Game(Day) Thread ***

Back to being ranked and the team with the target.

There are no bad teams in this conference, so imo it would be a bigger win than it would be a big loss. I guess in the context of getting a requisite seed for DSM and making the postseason run that our roster is capable of, a loss tonight would be impactful.

Fun time of the year.

A nice thing to knock out would be to win there...how long's it been?

The 2012-2013 season lol

Fast and furious conference games, this is the best time of the sports year.

Don’t we have just one win there since Fizer clinched the conference title in 2000? I think we won in 2012-13. We didn’t play in Waco every year, but a loss tonight isn’t that big of deal given how tough it is to win with no fans watching.

1 point loss in 2014-15, OT loss in 2015-16, 2 point loss in 2016-17.

 

[Sigmapolis]

These guys? I thought we kicked them out of the conference.

 

[ComCY]

I'm cautiously optimistic. I don't think we score in the high 70s or in the 80s though... just by the style that Baylor plays. I'll go 71-67.

Need to keep this post around for if ISU gets beat tonight and the CSP flat earthers start popping up.

Agree. The result is either +1 or 0. Clearly a +1 would be big for our title aspirations.

What was KUs Floyd score last year in winning the title?

What was KUs Floyd score last year in winning the title?

Quick look at it and I came up with +4, two home losses and six road wins

 

[Busch Light]

Man I want this one bad down there. Scott Drew always seems to have our number. That game a few years ago still stings a little when we gave up a significant lead at Hilton after Drew called a timeout every time we made a shot in the second half.

Thanks to the Kansas game, I am in full on basketball mode! Let's go Cyclones and beat the bears!

Baylor?

Iowa State 78-66

Is it true we've won more times at the Phog than in Waco (1-12)? Time to start a new streak, just like at OSU, who owned us for years there.

 

[Michael2034]

We are starting
Babb
Haliburton
Wiggy
Shayok
Jacobson

Lard will have a good game off the bench

No. Not sure what the entire record is but winning there hasn't happened very often.

Never been but just looks like a weird place to play.

Is this your guess or has this been released somewhere?
