*** Official IOWA STATE vs #10 Baylor Game(Day) Thread ***

[Malone]

Good luck to the 8/9 seed that has to play WVU. That’s a team playing like a 3 seed.

Weather in KC is fine. Rain stopped couple hours ago.

I'll be surprised if there's much left of Ames tomorrow, between this and Spring Break.

Someone please tell me what I'm seeing is this team is truly playing like they were at the beginning of conference and it's isn't because we have some juju vs Baylor.

 

[Pope]

Ok Jaime, you're on the NCAA Selection Committee, so get us a 2nd round matchup with Baylor.

Do whatever you gotta do, understand?

Gabe Kalscheur got a **** ton of words into that interview. Dude was pretty excited.

I was hoping he would give a shout-out to Coach Kalscheur. Her early tutelage resulted in us being able to enjoy seeing Gabe put on a shooting clinic his senior year as a Cyclone.

The best RBer is a true freshman PG though. That's smarts and heart.

That, and I think Tamin has a natural feel for assessing the ball in flight and understanding where it is likely to come off.

 

[Nor'easter]

By the way, where's the bathing ape isu apparel we were promised? (i have no idea what any of what I just said means)

 

[BillBrasky4Cy]

I don't think they were moving as hard on their cuts. The board domination points to Baylor fatigue. Glad Hollywood was a ref his crew tends to allow more physical play

Baylor was flopping a lot inside trying to draw calls and todays crew didn't buy it. That rarely happens to us!

In this re-enactment, TJ will be playing the part of the hammer. Drew, the nail

Why does Fran irritate me in non-ISU games now?

no Grill he made the whole team uneasy

Bracket Matrix aggregate has us above Creighton.

The committee showed a ton of Big 12 love a few weeks ago, I think most bracketologists are probably off by at least one seed line when it comes to several of the Big 12 teams.

 

[CentexCyclone]

Real winner: KC power and light

And don't forget.....

 

[Cardinal2001]

of course WVU can't make anything today, unlike when they played in Hilton

A little of both. We are playing much better. And we match up well against Baylor.

 

[CYDJ]

They will be safely in...(if not already) if they beat KU.

Yes, but did we play our way into the tourney with today's win? THAT is the question.

 

[HFCS]

With win today, Torvik puts ISU right on the 4/5 line

Add a neutral win vs KU to the resume, and it's a safe-ish 4 (same prediction if it's over WVU instead):

So funny that Gonzaga looked like a 3-5 seed when they were playing a Big 12 level schedule early on and now they are a 2.

IMHO they need to be better in their non conf than they were this year. I loathe KSU but KSU was better second half of season...and probably better first half of season although they didn't play the greatest non conf.
