Burton comes back down and then hits a contested 3. of course. 55-53 ISU 8:20

b2b fouls on ISU against Maston in the paint, that will get us to bonus quicker...

turnover Baylor on the inbounds, yikes

I'd be curious to see what the shooting% is beyond 5 ft for Baylor..I'd guess it's 20% or less.

Grit game.

Burton puts it on the floor and goes by Maston and scores. 57-53 ISU 7:33, timeout Drew

Maston's defensive weakness being exposed there.

Ish and Lindsey not the best scorers out there to help. They need to step up big. Ish keeps gambling with that lob. Acuil Big from line when we need it.

Jake with a. Great steal but Ish strolling not really paying attention. Jake probably should have held onto that.

So wasteful with the possessions. Just calm the freak down. Give up rebounds, get the steal, and then thro it the F away. We're just not sharp tonight.

Have to find a way to win when you aren't at your best.

These games during the break have been tough for us in the past as well.

If this was the number 6 team in the country or even number 15 I wouldn't care, but this is rediculous.
