I am an avid WBB fan. I watch them all. Since I live in Waco it's just natural that I root for my home team. I also have always liked Iowa State. Their fan base has been very impressive over the years, especially at the Big 12 tourney in KC. I made a trip up to Ames this year to watch them play BU. They are truly a better team than their record shows.
This is just a casual observation, but I really don't understand the logic behind scheduling an ooc game late in the season in the middle of the conference battle. To me that double overtime game at FSU is what took the sap out of the horns. Having to go on the road and then meet a good hungry OU team, and turning around and facing BU in the rematch was just too much for them. Baylor was not about to go down without putting up a real fight. And that game was truly a hard fought battle. I really don't offer this as criticism of the scheduling that Aston did in putting FSU on that late in the schedule. There may be a lot more to it than I realize. But I think it is obvious after the long trip and the hard fought battle at FSU that things have changed for this team. 3 conference losses in a row has me wondering if Karen wouldn't like to re-do the scheduling a bit.
