PocketChange usually has way cooler things to say for pregame analysis.

I do expect them to play with an orange basketball; most players will be wearing cushioned shoes. Iowa State will hope to field 5 players with which to begin the game. Baylor, coincidentally, will aim to match that strategy.

Baylor barely hung on to a top-25 ranking after losing 3 of their last 4, the most recent coming in brutal fashion against Texas Tech.

Baylor won this matchup last time, beating the 'clones 94-89 in Ames. Baylor is actually 8-1 versus ISU at home since 2002, with the one L coming in 2013.

Red. Panda. Halftime show.
