StatMan is back for the final 7:15 to play in the 2nd Half. I like the 8-point lead for the Baylor Bears, but plenty of work to do for a Big XII road win.

8 missed free throws...

Someone tell our guys we ain't playing UAPB, Alcorn St. or UCA now. You gotta bring it 40 minutes.

A precarious 66-61 Baylor lead with 3:20 to play in the 2nd Half. Every possession becomes a little more important.

I have no idea what we are doing at either end of the floor... missed shots, turnovers, and missed D assignments

Big 12 is a different animal and when you are highly ranked you will get the opponents best

As cold as we've been, I'm kind of surprised Cryer isn't getting some minutes.

Gonzaga would be up 35. This team needs an L at some point to humble themselves

We're shooting 17% from 3. OMG.

J. Butler makes 2 free throws. Baylor with a 68-61 lead now.

Our 3-pt rate is truly poor this game. Definitely a factor.

Big XII road wins are usually tough to win, even for ranked conference teams.

Big rebound and put back basket by JTT! Baylor leads 71-63.

I got laughed at when I said we would struggle when the 3 wasn't falling. We need a legit big who you can go to for buckets at any point. A Drew Timme type guy. This is what happens when you're cold from 3 and don't have that type of big on your roster

Jared Butler with a game clinching 3-point basket! The Baylor Bears are in good shape, leading 73-63.

Maceo Teague makes both free throws. Take a deep breath, Baylor basketball fans. An 8-0 scoring run, and a 75-63 lead with 46.2 seconds play.

Given our guard depth you would expect someone to be on each game. But yeah, it happens. Fortunately, we have enough depth that late games should favor the bears when fouls come into play. Our bench has plenty of D1 caliber starters.

Final from Ames, Iowa: #2 ranked Baylor Bears 76, Iowa State Cyclones 65. 371 career wins for Scott Drew, tying his father, Homer Drew. 351 of those wins are at Baylor.

Road wins are never easy. Hopefully this is an eye opener to bring it every night. Next up OU

Good heart/gut check today, passed with flying colors.

I guess if you're a glass is half full type, you could say we played like crap and still picked up a double digit conference road win. IMO we were lucky the opponent was ISU, because likely anyone else in the rest of the B12, save KSU, would've beaten us today.

ISU uses all their timeouts with nine minutes to go


Didn't work as well for them as it did when we did it at Hilton a few years ago

We took 18 more shots from the charity stripe than OSU. No way we get that advantage with a normal ISU crowd. A win is a win. And we likely will learn a lot from this one.

Would have liked to see some minutes from Cryer.

Team Shooting: Iowa State 48.1%, Baylor 47.7%. Team Rebounds: Baylor 35, Iowa State 30. 4 players finish in double figure scoring, led by Jared Butler with 21 points. Baylor remains undefeated in this MBB season, and improves to 2-0 in Big XII play.

The difference between this year's "bad" game and last year's "bad" games is we were down and had to come back. In this game, our shots weren't falling and we kept the lead throughout. We don't have any Alcorns anymore, so they'll be used to a higher caliber of opponent from here on out.

Yep. This was the "adjustment" you have to go through when you switch from the Alcorns, UAPB's, etc.....to a conference rival. I suspect we will display more sharpness in the next game as we adjust back to conference level games.

It was a bit ugly but it's a win and that's what matters.

On other news, Kansas will drop in rankings while Texas will move up. Will they flip?

Today was ugly but the win makes us 2-0 in away games.
