    Iowa St/Baylor thoughts please?
    Anybody capped this game or have an opinion. I'm at work and won't have time. Get off at 8 so was going to hit the bar and watch it. Thanks in advance. I lean Iowa St but wanted others opinions.

    I like Iowa State a lot, but I am a little worried about a "letdown" after the Kansas win.

    Both teams have NBA-level players, though I think Baylor's a little more talented. This is the Bears' fourth game in as many days, though, and I am not a Scott Drew fan at all. ISU tends to struggle against Baylor's zone for some reason, though.

    Good luck if you play it my man.

        Trust the Major. Much better, more thoughtful, intelligent coach than Drew already at his young age. Iowa St players love playing for him.

        Also, pretty difficult to have letdown the next day. The letdown would come into play, for example, if this next game was played 4 or 5 days down the road and the media and ESPN is hyping up the upset over Kansas. I don't see a letdown spot here with multiple senior starters for Iowa State.

          I took Iowa St, I just think they are the better overall team. Don't forget that this will be Baylors 4th game in as many nights. I do think Baylor presents some bad matchups for ISU, mainly the 2-3 zone, but in the end ISU should pull it out.

            Good insight. Iowa State had a bye in the tournament. These are all young guys though. If Iowa State can push tempo throughout the whole game, it could be the difference.

              High scoring affair. Iowa state cane score on anyone and Baylor can score on their poor defense. Should be a good high scoring game

                I wouldn't put to much stock in the fatigue factor. This are young men in their early 20's. They can handle it

                  Yeah I think the over would be the best bet.
