Houston #2 at Baylor #11 11:00 AM CBS today

How the hell did Iowa State stay in the game against Houston?
Answer: Defense.
(Take note Baylor...even if you make 15+ 3s today...you got to play defense or you're sunk.)

It feels like a broadcast and not an ad for other conferences because of their ratings.

It's also kind of a baked in 'ad' for tourney season because so much of their coverage feels like this but that's fine too.

I'm sure we do a bit of it too but Houston is just constantly hand-checking and bodying the ball-handler.
 
I epect a similar overmatching in the ISU game today. Both ISU and Houston saw the best D they will play against all season on Monday night, both had extra days off to prepare vs their opponents time off, and both opposing teams defenses are pretty poor.

Probably the most disappointing thing about our game there is that we got inside their zone at will early and just couldn’t make a bucket. Force them out of that and their man defense sucks (as we saw once we got them out of it)
 
So much for winning the Big 12. This race is essentially over unless Baylor gets hot in the next 20 minutes.

Just keep winning and get a 2 or 3 in Omaha and it will be a very successful season.
 
I hit like 11 threes shooting around at the fitness center/gym the other day so it's pretty easy.

I was unguarded and not playing a game and actually woke up the next day with some sort of calf strain from that 15 minutes of 'work'...but still, I don't know why more teams don't just hit 18 threes. /s
Speaking of 18 threes. I was just watching the 2013 Kansas game this morning. What an epic screw job.
 
This game was over in 10 mins

It's on the road. I'd expect Baylor to make some sort of run (though it's possible they won't) as most home teams do in the 2nd half. But if they want to they are going to need to get Houston to turn the ball over more than they have. 3 TOs in the 2nd half isn't going to cut it.

This makes the loss look even more impressive. For us to go into that environment and hang TOUGH was as good as any win we've had this year.
