*** Official IOWA STATE vs #7 Baylor Game(Day) Thread ***

q
are the post game interviews on radio archived anywhere? I'd like to listen to them

Yes. You can listen to the archived version on the Varsity app. Or you can go directly to cyclones.tv and listen. The post game press conference is also on cyclones.tv.

Are those free?

Yep. It's a little easier to do the Varsity app on your phone. If you are on a computer the cyclones.com stuff works fine for the radio feed.

Also can listen to other teams. I listen to Scott Drew's radio interview after the game. I haven't found his post game press conference yet, but Baylor will post it eventually.
 
Solid day out of Jones. I think Ward getting minutes at the 5 and Jones only having to play 14 minutes helped him. I hope TJ continues to give Ward more minutes. Maybe he’ll pull a Bowie for us in the Big 12 and NCAA tournies.
Yeah I really loved the post rotation today. Starting Jones to keep Osun out of early foul trouble but keeping him at 15 min and giving Ward a lil run as a high energy disrupter. And king showed he can be a force with 25 min of game time too
 
We are gonna have to come up with A nickname or category for these trendy crackerjack box arenas being built in Texas whet nobody cares about basketball
I don't hate the idea of teams downsizing to fill stadiums. I hate when ISU doesn't fill the stands in in sports. A full 7000k is a way better atmosphere than 10k in a 15k stadium.

that said, ISU fan support is remarkably good considering overall history and the fact there are 2.5 major universities in a small market state.

Baylor wins a national championship in basketball, so what do they do? They build a new stadium with a 7,000 seat capacity. Jaime, you should be thanking Cyclone fans every chance you get.

It's a mutually beneficial relationship.

This was a big win for seeding. Before this you could argue that they were at their best with a healthy grill and not good at all with a hurt Grill. With Grill being out, that could have hurt our seed. This proves we are a good team even without Grill.
With all respect to Caleb, this fan base and certain media that cover it (CW) have always given a Caleb way too much credit for success. Caleb was absolutely important to this team, but there have been opinions that many have shared since his injury that he is the best or at least most important part of the team. In their midweek corner 3 podcast, Blum even pondered who was going to make shots for the team now, never mind the fact he was only our 3rd leading scorer and had not been playing like that of late. Many think he was our best shooter. I'm sorry, but if the game is on the line, I want the ball in Gabe’s hands. I've never understood the infatuation with the kid or why he got as much attention as he did for what he was doing on the court. He had finally developed into a nice Big 12 quality role player in year 4, which is what the general hope was way back when he signed. But our best player he was not nor has ever been.

Look, I'm a huge Cyclone fan and always will be, but I think that's a bit of an overstatement.

Jaime gets the most loyal fanbase in the nation pretty much every year, and Iowa State fans get to experience a regular season conference championship in basketball or football how often? If Iowa State fans were as loyal as most of the other fanbases across the country, our stadiums would be half filled at best.

Iowa State always had a loyal fan base. It wasn't until Jamie it got leveraged to put the AD where it's currently at.
 
I'm of the opinion that there is no best player on this team, just a bunch of solid players that play hard and more often than not, function as a team. Up until his injury, Grill was as important as any, no more, no less. At his best, he made shots, but he always played D, rebounded, and hustled.

I can't start downplaying his role now. It's like revising history.
