Was that a job by the refs there at the end? As soon as EJ let's of the ball, it's going down. Should have been goal tending. No call on the charge against Bonner at the other end. And the Dale gets hammered on the trap. Oh well. All's well that ends well.
Stefano DiMera

Yeah..we could have extended the lead to 7 or more..that was 3 straight calls we didn't get.

Bears shooting 54% from 3 in the first half. Can we keep it up in the 2nd half?

Don't have to if we'll quit turning the ball over and get more rebounds.
DanaDane

Unfortunately reducing TOs for this team is a tall ask. Hopefully we can keep them off the offensive glass better in the 2nd half though. Pretty impressive that we have a lead and they've taken 8 more shots than us because of the TOs and offensive boards.
DanaDane

Bridges came ready to play. YES! Another 3

Bridges 6-6 from 3, 9-9 overall. 25 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and a steal.

Get this thing to double digits and ISU will start firing up wild stuff.

From 13:26 to 13:40. I'll take 1 Dale Bonner over 3 Flo Thambas EVERY TIME!!

We are so reliant on low percentage shots it's unbelievable. We are massive upset fodder in the tourney this year.

The only inside look on a set play we've gotten all half was a back-down from Flo that didn't even hit the rim because he shot without looking at the basket.
DanaDane

Iowa State with a 12 rebound margin and has 12 offensive boards.


We essentially have 4 "bigs" -- Thamba, Jon and Lohner - 0 rebounds; Bridges - 4

Rebound damnit!!!!

I'm almost ready to say play Lohner at the 5..at least he hustles.

Bridges with half our points - 28

Keep it up Jalen!

Flo may be the weakest 5 I have ever seen ... definitely at Baylor. No fire, no strength, no positioning. We won't even pass to him on pick and rolls because it's a likely miss/turnover.

These fing refs…unreal!

And in addition to criticize Flo...Drew deserves some...Kauchler is killing Keyonte on offense..try someone else..

I'm curious why you were so confident Baylor would win today? They might, but Iowa State is tough against us.

Iowa St now with an 18 rebound advantage and 17 offensive boards. They've taken 12 more shots than us. It's amazing we're only down by 5. But with those disparities, we basically have to hit almost every shot we take the rest of the game.

Hmmm. If we only had a guard who plays inspired defense ... like that dude who played about 3 minutes so far.

No rebounds on offense…we're screwed

Well, the roars of a 3rd double digit loss to the same team are starting to be heard
