We owe flood aggy a beating. Hopefully the early tipoff keeps ISU fans out of the arena.

They beat us twice by 15 this season, so, naturally, we are due.

Just need to step up our defense and get our guard play back.

Maybe we will win by 30! (I'd be happy to win by 1.)

Sic 'em Bears!!

3rd time through the line up. I expect Drew to have an excellent game plan. Let's get the W

Unless the team that showed up for the Texas game comes to play today, they will be done in one. But Sic'em Bears

Hope you're right although I think if Drew had a rabbit to pull out of his hat he would have used it in the last game. Unless we have extraordinary performance from our guards, I think the result will be similar to our previous games vs ISU

I hope we score 85 or more today. That would be more than ISU can match, and would show the team is able to perform at their best in a tournament environment.
That which does not kill me, will try again and get nastier

Hope I'm wrong but I have no confidence about this matchup. We haven't been competitive against them.

I'm feeling confident today.

In my history as a Baylor fan, when that happens ... we don't do well.

Way too easy for Iowa State on the offensive end

I realize we stunk it up against these guys on our home court Saturday, but it is complete bullcrap that this tournament gets held in KC every year! No wonder Kansas or Iowa State wins this damn thing just about every year.

Can we try to drive one of the guards to the basket at least once?

Agree. Need to at least try to get the trees in foul trouble.

Physical game and yet the refs are calling it tight against Baylor.

I normally don't get caught up with the refs, but they are targetting us in this one.
