I thought they played pretty tough Wednesday.
Just need to be better at the whole 'basketball' thing.

Vanilla Ice will be performing at halftime.

Agreed. Just needed tougher defense in the second half, especially when shots aren't falling. Cyclones had a lot of good open looks, just couldn't hit them.
Ice, Ice, Baby...
actually I am not a huge Vanilla ice fan but i saw him at some 90s hip hop reunion thing and he actually put on a really good show.
It's Vanilla Ice, so not really.They can afford half time entertainment? They are doing better than us.
The way we played in the first half tells me that this team can play with anyone...for 19 minutes. When Baylor got the 3 point foul at the end of the half, and we put a 60% FT shooter at the line and saw him sink all 3, I knew our guys had lost their grip on momentum and swagger. Came out ice cold, couldn't throw the ball in the ocean. Meanwhile, Baylor got mildly hot for a stretch, but I think had we shot even 5-10% better in the 2nd half, they'd have been sweating a little more. Frustrating, and you really want to believe they'll start stringing together more 40 minute efforts here. They did it last Saturday. Hopefully it's not an exact repeat of 17-18 where we'd get a decent win ever 1.5-2 weeks, but lost everything in between.
I honestly love that you have 13 posts and this is one of them.
The foul at the end of the first half gets the headline, but our first two shots of the 2nd half were horrible. Two loooong 3s from Haliburton. Bad shots that turned into 5 points the other way. That's when the game ended.
I thought they just wore down and while the looks were open, there wasn't much timing or rhythm to them, likely due to Baylor dictating things.
Baylor makes it tough on both ends especially for what ISU has.
Switched to radio at half and Heft said several times the coaches were getting after the guys because they were not catching ready to shoot. Rhythm or not you can't ask for a night of more open looks against an elite defense. Be ready to shoot and make some open shots.
On one hand the movement and cutting was very good, ball movement was good. On the downside this team can't capitalize because it can't shoot.
Quoting..."couldn't throw the ball in the ocean".....You must have been around for the Larry Eustacy years because thats what Larry said after losing the last game of his career at Iowa State ...Losing to who.....Iowa Hawkeyes of course inside Hilton Coliseum.....
