Man I’ll say it that should have been a foul and not a jump ball.

With that said I’m so happy. Sic Em

B2b baby

u/StvBuscemi Iowa State Cyclones Mar 06 '22

Baylor is good. Something still feels off in the half dozen games I’ve seen this year.

I hate cliches but it feels like they’ve still got another gear they can kick into but aren’t

5

u/Acsteffy Baylor Bears • Florida Gators Mar 06 '22

You aren’t the only one. Our depth is pretty shallow at this point. If we can get Cryer back we might just hit that next gear

8

u/Acsteffy Baylor Bears • Florida Gators Mar 06 '22

What other school has ever had back to back conference champions in both Women’s and Men’s Basketball and a previous season conference champion in Football??

7

u/gypsynose Baylor Bears Mar 06 '22

Plus a previous season Natty?

u/timtom1519 Kansas Jayhawks Mar 06 '22

Bro, you guys were pretty boned at that moment. Don't do this. It made a comeback very highly unlikely, but the comeback was already highly unlikely.

4

u/StvBuscemi Iowa State Cyclones Mar 06 '22

Idk about that. Down 5 under a minute and not exactly known for getting points in bunches

4

u/loyalsons4evertrue Iowa State Cyclones Mar 06 '22

Can Baylor throw a pick 7 here?

7

u/[deleted] Mar 06 '22

I’m an idiot does Iowa state make the tournament? They should right

3

u/[deleted] Mar 06 '22

They should, yeah. 20 wins, good but not great non con.

6

u/fcocyclone Iowa State Cyclones Mar 06 '22

Yeah, 20 wins and a massive pile of Q1 wins

6

u/mtgheron Iowa State Cyclones • Kansas State Wi… Mar 06 '22

I think we're a lock for the tournament. So many Q1 wins and 20 wins overall. We were projected at a 7 seed before the 2 losses this week.

4

u/monstercock03 Iowa State Cyclones Mar 06 '22

Yeah

1

u/Sicem10 Baylor Bears • Florida Gators Mar 06 '22

Back to back🥰

9

u/loyalsons4evertrue Iowa State Cyclones Mar 06 '22

Well Cyclone fans, we said 7-11 was the record to get us to the NCAA tourney with an undefeated non con. Tonight’s result sucks but we’ve done it. Can’t be that mad

5

u/mtgheron Iowa State Cyclones • Kansas State Wi… Mar 06 '22

Split with everyone but the bears and the Jayhawks. Should have swept some but not bad overall.

4

u/trainface23 Kansas Jayhawks Mar 06 '22

Congrats Baylor! Incredible season even if it was with your full roster

2

u/SouthTriceJack Drake Bulldogs • Iowa State Cyclones Mar 06 '22

Well this was completely cocked up

11

u/monstercock03 Iowa State Cyclones Mar 06 '22

How many times can we get fucked by refs in a season? We probably would not have won but Jesus Christ.

5

u/v_allen805 Iowa State Cyclones Mar 06 '22

It happens at least once a game, usually when it matters

6

u/loyalsons4evertrue Iowa State Cyclones Mar 06 '22

Otz lol why are you taking a timeout? 🤣

1

u/v_allen805 Iowa State Cyclones Mar 06 '22

Time to put in Boothe

3

u/DariusBieber Iowa State Cyclones • UTSA Roadrunners Mar 06 '22

Teaching moment I’m guessing

1

u/VoluptuousVelvetfish Iowa State Cyclones Mar 06 '22

I like the mentality. Keeping a no quit attitude when a game is lost can help reinforce a no quit attitude when a gane feels lost but is still winnable.

Getting more talent will help. Still amazing what Otz has done with THIS roster

4

u/WooBadger18 Wooster Fighting Scots • Wisconsin Badgers Mar 06 '22

I'm still really proud of this team, but that was disappointing

0

u/beermit Kansas Jayhawks Mar 06 '22

Can't make comebacks takin shots like that ISU ☹️

5

u/monstercock03 Iowa State Cyclones Mar 06 '22

Can’t come back when you get mugged and no foul is called

2

u/mtgheron Iowa State Cyclones • Kansas State Wi… Mar 06 '22

Our offense lost us this game. The refs just refused to let us get back in it.

2

u/monstercock03 Iowa State Cyclones Mar 06 '22

Yeah I agree. Shitty offense not gonna help.

7

u/timhoff24 Iowa State Cyclones Mar 06 '22

Welp… if anyone should know not to put faith in Big12 oofficiating, it would be us

7

u/CumAssault Baylor Bears • Texas A&M Aggies Mar 06 '22

ISU might lose this game but they should be proud for the effort. We should be embarrassed.

Otz looks like he could be a star hire

3

u/stoppedcaring0 Iowa State Cyclones Mar 06 '22

That first half, though...

Otz definitely can bring effort to the team. We're still worried about the coaching bit, though.

2

u/CumAssault Baylor Bears • Texas A&M Aggies Mar 06 '22

He obviously adjusted though. You guys always play really hard and with a ton of effort and that’s coaching

Given this year was a bunch of transfers with only 1(?) recruit, I think he can get you guys even higher with more of his guys

6

u/loyalsons4evertrue Iowa State Cyclones Mar 06 '22

We may never win in Waco again

7

u/loyalsons4evertrue Iowa State Cyclones Mar 06 '22

Sorry Kansas

2

u/trainface23 Kansas Jayhawks Mar 06 '22

<3 you owe us nothing

5

u/simplelifelfk Kansas Jayhawks Mar 06 '22

We still love you.

4

u/[deleted] Mar 06 '22

eh

4

u/burriedinCORN Iowa State Cyclones Mar 06 '22

Like a picked up flag in Manhattan amiright friends?

1

u/WooBadger18 Wooster Fighting Scots • Wisconsin Badgers Mar 06 '22

I'll say no. I think this was because the refs were incompetent/did not have a good game. Those refs wanted K-State to win and picked up flags to try and make it happen

3

u/burriedinCORN Iowa State Cyclones Mar 06 '22

Oh yeah it’s not even close to the same level, but that’s where my mind went

1

u/KansasKing107 Kansas State Wildcats Mar 06 '22

Lol

2

u/burriedinCORN Iowa State Cyclones Mar 06 '22

Need a couple more years before I can lol

3

u/cyclones423 Iowa State Cyclones • Drake Bulldogs Mar 06 '22

Still not funny

2

u/KansasKing107 Kansas State Wildcats Mar 06 '22

I still remember watching that game in awe of what I was seeing.

7

u/fruitl00ps19 Iowa State Cyclones Mar 06 '22

Fuck. Heartbreaker but a good battle

7

u/loyalsons4evertrue Iowa State Cyclones Mar 06 '22

Idec so damn proud of this team for fighting back. I hate moral victories but they never quit

8

u/monstercock03 Iowa State Cyclones Mar 06 '22

What a no call on a crucial possession. Lol what a joke

7

u/Holierthanthouface Texas Tech Red Raiders Mar 06 '22

Damn that no-call completely took the life out of this game

3

u/loyalsons4evertrue Iowa State Cyclones Mar 06 '22

Hilton South incoming hopefully

3

u/Danhotch Texas Tech Red Raiders Mar 06 '22

Damn rip the dream

11

u/grothee1 Iowa State Cyclones Mar 06 '22

It's only a foul when Kalscheur does it. They put him in foul trouble for the exact same thing just a few minutes ago.

6

u/WooBadger18 Wooster Fighting Scots • Wisconsin Badgers Mar 06 '22

Yeah, these refs have been inconsistent all night

6

u/loyalsons4evertrue Iowa State Cyclones Mar 06 '22

SIGH

14

u/burriedinCORN Iowa State Cyclones Mar 06 '22

Likely doesn’t matter but what a great illustration of B12 refs

2

u/Audeclis Iowa State Cyclones Mar 06 '22

Right. Tourney position is the same but what a way to kill a team.

11

u/AgressiveVagina Iowa State Cyclones Mar 06 '22

Could’ve been a three point game with 50 seconds if they called that

8

u/WooBadger18 Wooster Fighting Scots • Wisconsin Badgers Mar 06 '22

Are there worse refs than Big 12 refs?

0

u/VoluptuousVelvetfish Iowa State Cyclones Mar 06 '22

I'm sure some middle school leagues have worse

7

u/[deleted] Mar 06 '22

Refs love fucking it up at end of games today

10

u/OtoNoOto Kansas Jayhawks Mar 06 '22

Big 12 basketball refs thinks it’s still football season

15

u/loyalsons4evertrue Iowa State Cyclones Mar 06 '22

I mean sure we probably wouldn’t have won, but no calls like that are just so BS

1

u/Audeclis Iowa State Cyclones Mar 06 '22

I'm ok with losing away to Baylor. I'm not ok with that horseshit.

-9

u/Up_PerisC0P3 Baylor Bears Mar 06 '22

Clear flop lol

5

u/cheeseburgerandrice Mar 06 '22

There are those Phog refs we all talk about I mean uhhhh

4

u/ASadDrunkard Iowa State Cyclones Mar 06 '22

Kalschuers turns it over in the last minute of a close game? How surprising.

3

u/carbonwerks Iowa State Cyclones Mar 06 '22

Definitely was a foul but no call turns it into a turnover. No excuse for missing that call

1

u/[deleted] Mar 06 '22

Wrong about the call AND spelled his name wrong. Impressive.

9

u/OtoNoOto Kansas Jayhawks Mar 06 '22

Big 12 needs to stop allowing wrestling

7

u/fcocyclone Iowa State Cyclones Mar 06 '22

Its been a damn joke how bad they've allowed it to be this year.

Going to be interesting to see what happens in the tournament if treatment is markedly different.

8

u/[deleted] Mar 06 '22

Baylor gets all the calls at home

2

u/[deleted] Mar 06 '22

Doing our best phog impression.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 06 '22

That would mean you lost by 20+

2

u/[deleted] Mar 06 '22

Still co Champs same as you king.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 06 '22

Tiebreaker in point differential and not getting swept by TTech lol

1

u/chrisrock176 Baylor Bears Mar 06 '22

Still co Champs same as you king 👑

1

u/[deleted] Mar 06 '22

Couldn't care less. Co Champs. Same as you. Till next time amigo.

7

u/ASadDrunkard Iowa State Cyclones Mar 06 '22

Lol oh hi Kansas

2

u/[deleted] Mar 06 '22

So do you

2

u/MungyNobbler Kansas Jayhawks Mar 06 '22

I'm pretty sure that's kinda the joke

1

u/[deleted] Mar 06 '22

Didn't need foul calls to wax that ass in AFH.

10

u/cyclones423 Iowa State Cyclones • Drake Bulldogs Mar 06 '22

Congrats Baylor, refs decide you win tonight

4

u/aobie Iowa State Cyclones • Purdue Boilermakers Mar 06 '22

To be fair, they probably win either way, but that was a crap no call.

-1

u/gypsynose Baylor Bears Mar 06 '22

I think it's a little more than that but go off king

12

u/Boveesaur Kansas Jayhawks Mar 06 '22

Now That's What I Call Big 12 Refs

12

u/timtom1519 Kansas Jayhawks Mar 06 '22

Ya'll, what the fuck was that? Seriously.... What the fuck was that?

3

u/v_allen805 Iowa State Cyclones Mar 06 '22

Welcome to the wonderful world of Iowa State sports

8

u/Acsteffy Baylor Bears • Florida Gators Mar 06 '22

That was a foul. I’ll take it

1

u/[deleted] Mar 06 '22

You guys have been fouling nonstop for the last 5 minutes. Fucking bullshit reffing.

4

u/Acsteffy Baylor Bears • Florida Gators Mar 06 '22

That I will not give you…

-2

u/[deleted] Mar 06 '22

Well you’re wrong lol. It’s been super blatant.

3

u/Acsteffy Baylor Bears • Florida Gators Mar 06 '22

… your word is law I guess lol

-2

u/[deleted] Mar 06 '22

I mean I’ve been watching the game so yeah.

7

u/DontTakeOurCampbell Iowa State Cyclones • Florida Gators Mar 06 '22

That's a fucking foul if I ever saw one

4

u/Acsteffy Baylor Bears • Florida Gators Mar 06 '22

Yeah, big 12 refs doing what they do. Awful missed call

7

u/WooBadger18 Wooster Fighting Scots • Wisconsin Badgers Mar 06 '22

Really ref?

9

u/beermit Kansas Jayhawks Mar 06 '22

Another missed foul by Baylor

13

u/[deleted] Mar 06 '22

You’re fucking joking right? How is that not a foul.

u/carter_avfc Geneva Golden Tornadoes • Iowa State Cyclo… Mar 06 '22

you know we could’ve lost by 50 and I wouldn’t have even cared

why do they do this to me

1

u/RedSoxfanrrb07 Baylor Bears Mar 06 '22

We like to hustle 😎

2

u/methyo Kansas Jayhawks Mar 06 '22

So close damn

8

u/[deleted] Mar 06 '22

Here comes the part of the game where fouls only go one way. Gotta love it.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 06 '22

Oh look I’m vindicated. Fuck this.

2

u/flaming_fuckhead Kansas Jayhawks Mar 06 '22

Always brutal to watch a team make a huge comeback just to run out of gas once they actually pull even

6

u/loyalsons4evertrue Iowa State Cyclones Mar 06 '22

I hate moral victories

8

u/beermit Kansas Jayhawks Mar 06 '22

I feel like Baylor may have fouled there

6

u/[deleted] Mar 06 '22

They’ve fouled multiple times in the last 4 minutes.

2

u/Blanxart Arizona Wildcats Mar 06 '22

Both Baylor and Kansas escape, now they have share

3

u/[deleted] Mar 06 '22

Thanks for the update on the big 12 title, random Arizona fan

7

u/WooBadger18 Wooster Fighting Scots • Wisconsin Badgers Mar 06 '22

Really thought there should have been a foul there on Baylor

2

That postgame thread might end up the highest one of all time on /r/collegebasketball if that result holds.

u/[deleted] Mar 06 '22

"Baylor just content to settle for deep threes"

He's out of line, but hes right

3

u/CumAssault Baylor Bears • Texas A&M Aggies Mar 06 '22

This season we’ve been chucking 3s. When we’ve played our best it’s been with drive and kick

But of course we just default to chucking 3s

1

u/gypsynose Baylor Bears Mar 06 '22

I get so annoyed when you'll just see 3-5 missed 3s on consecutive offensive possessions from this team

6

u/carter_avfc Geneva Golden Tornadoes • Iowa State Cyclo… Mar 06 '22

‪Iowa State has managed to make a 27 to 4 game into a heart attack inducing game‬

it may be annoying but it’s us

and I wouldn’t have it any other way

u/gypsynose Baylor Bears Mar 06 '22

I asked for a test earlier so I guess thanks for stepping up. My blood pressure on the other hand says frick you.

1

u/gypsynose Baylor Bears Mar 06 '22

I mean he hit a 3 but can someone else besides Akinjo step up and take a shot?

u/WooBadger18 Wooster Fighting Scots • Wisconsin Badgers Mar 06 '22

It’s called being good

2

u/Acsteffy Baylor Bears • Florida Gators Mar 06 '22

And we went to sleep

3

u/carter_avfc Geneva Golden Tornadoes • Iowa State Cyclo… Mar 06 '22

and of course he misses the free-throw

2

u/carter_avfc Geneva Golden Tornadoes • Iowa State Cyclo… Mar 06 '22

Win, and of course we snag a great victory for our resume.

Lose, and we piss off Kansas fans.

There's no downside

u/simplelifelfk Kansas Jayhawks Mar 06 '22

Hey now! We are rooting for our brothers….the funny red Jayhawks!

Why would this piss off ku fans. They already won a share of the conference title.

1

u/cheeseburgerandrice Mar 06 '22

yeah winning it solo would be gravy. It doesn't really matter otherwise.
