Postgame Takeaways: #1 Baylor 77 #8 Iowa State 72

Positives

• Poise- tremendous poise on the road.  Every time Iowa State made a run, Baylor answered with a timely play.  Every team is elevating their play to try to knock off #1 and the Bears were able to counteract every punch.  
• Shot the ball well.  54% on two point attempts; 41% from 3; 71% from the foul line.  
• Took away the 3 for ISU (1-14).  
• Sochan (12 points; 7 reb; 2 asst; 3 steals) and Cryer (13 points) were great off the bench.

Needs Work

• Turnovers (19) were an issue.  Need to work on our press breaks.  I thought we should use Kendall Brown as a “throw it up high” target, especially when defended by a small guard like Caleb Grill at ISU.
• Fouls I guess...  I thought the physicality was pretty equal but ISU shot more free-throws (27-14) than Baylor.  
• Closing out games
