Baylor is gonna make us earn our points in the half court. I really hope our guys stay active againgst the zone and don't get caught standing around watching Lindell dribble.

Talley needs to get the ball in the middle of the zone and attack. That will open up Solo and Lard running the baseline for lobs. DJack needs to run his defender through screens all night long and set up outside the arc. I'm not sure I want him with a ball in his hands inside the arc at all tonight honestly. He's so much more valuable as a sniper against the zone.

I'd just love to see a win and get these guys on a roll. This last month could be interesting if we play to our potential.

Baylor has a lot of problems on defense this year. We ran right through it last time, and OU absolutely destroyed them. I'm sure they've been working on it, but I'm more concerned with how we stop them. IMO we need to hold them a bit under their average (I think it's 77).

Just hoping they have this thing figured out and play some great team ball tonight.

What does it say about the announcers we've had lately when I see Reid Gettys name and think "hey that sounds pretty decent?"

 

[scyclonekid]

Keep the ball moving today and attack the lane against their zone drive n kick, and pick them up at half court pressure the ball.

 

[DeereClone]

4-6 is so much better than 3-7. Huge opportunity for us.

If you like offense, then Baylor's game at OU on Tuesday was fantastic:
Young's 44 help No. 12 Oklahoma top Baylor 98-96

Trae Young put up 44, yet OU just barely won!

Should be interesting to see which group shows up for ISU. Consistency has been the toughest hurdle to get over for them all season.

 

[CTTB78]

The Varsity just finished breakfast and are ready to go 2-0.
Cyclones 81 Baylor 73.

Baylor hasn’t had that many problems on defense. They’re significantly better than our defense.

 

[ForbinsAscynt]

I assume Babbs out but any official announcement?

 

[AuH2O]

Lard has impressed me with his decision making and feel for when to attack, dump it down or kick it. I think we will see plenty of Lard and Young together. Brase is good in the middle of the zone too. I like how ISU matches up.

 

[brokenloginagain]

brase is due to make 2-3 threes. i know he's got that in him.

 

[Sigmapolis]

Everybody is so happy and optimistic today!

Last Sat I multitasked while at my daughter's basketball tournament. We all remember ow the ISU game turned out. This week, I will refuse to watch the ISU game during her games. I'll record it and watch when we get home.

If we win, you're welcome.
