It's the Doke show. Up 8 with 8 to go - and without anything from Ochai and not much from Dot....

DokeEffect

His 80% certainly helps..... ;)

Making 56% against one of the best defensive teams in the country...

I still fear foul trouble is going to be an issue late. HCBS might have to steal some minutes with Enaruna...

I would sure like Vital to pick up his 4th here soon....

Doke is exhausted - playing his ass off...

Stupid effing reaches by the two guys we can't afford to have in foul trouble...

Bad last minute by Marcus - bad TO, bad pass, and really bad foul (his third)...

Nice start...

Wow - that's a break...

Need to avoid cheap fouls. We have 4 with 2. They don't have anyone with more than one, so they can be even more aggressive than they were...

Really bad end to the half - but otherwise a really good ball game...

Need to get Ochai to get his head in the game....

Damn, Vital is a bulldog...

Braun is way too tentative - need him to look to take shots when he is open...

We need to just milk the clock these last 3 minutes. But, not with Dot driving at the end of the clock. Don't want to pick up a cheap charge...

You can bet Baylor will isolate Dot...

I think Braun is a bit intimated...

Marcus got fouled by 3 different guys on that drive...

Not much hustle by Ochai there...

Both teams playing pretty well - mostly executing game plans. Regardless of how this game turns out, Baylor is for real and both teams can make the last weekend...

Nice little run...

Ouch

Defense worse this half than the first - didn't think that was possible....

Kenpom defensive efficiency rating is taking a hit... but O rating is soaring......

Dang it. Forget about guarding the mid-range, just worry about penetration. Please be disruptive on the perimeter.

Seriously - just line up 4 of our guys on the arc - dare them to drive or pull up for a floater. They won't make 50% of those shots - and they're just worth 2 points each if they do.........

8-10 is bonkers

Uh - its well above 100% effective FG %....

Not a lot of D being played right now. ISU is not very good and without their best player (by far). We really should win this by 20+...

Love to see Marcus 'educating' Christian....

Tristan - bad travel and bad shot. But nice dish from Braun...

Another Dotson 3 point attempt that gets halfway to the bucket...

The only way that ISU can make this game interesting is by taking and making a lot of 3s. So defend the 3 and this game isn't interesting.....

Weird box score -- we get dominated on the boards, 15 fewer shot attempts, shoot less than 50% from the field and less than 30% from 3 (just 4 made), our typical 66% from FT -- and win by 9 on the road against a top 20 team that hadn't lost at home yet this year......

WVU had 20 points in the first 9-1/2 minutes - just 29 in the next 30+. Defense really clamped down....

Garrett has 6 TOs - but also leads in RBs, assists and steals, has 9 points, and may be the best defensive player in the country...

13 fewer shot attempts - <30% from 3 - just 60% from the FT line - and just down 3. Go figure....

6 TOs by Marcus tonight - very uncharacteristic...

32 points in 27 minutes....

So much for the quick start...

So, are we going to have anyone reach double figures???? Ochai leads right now with 5 big ones...

Starters are 0-6 from the arc. That's not going to get it done...

WVU has played 11 guys in the first half. While 6 down can be overcome if! we rebound and protect the ball, are we going to get worn down? Especially with Doke with 2 fouls and Dave with 3?

WVU has 8 more shot attempts...

So, we're supposed to be the #1 D in the country and WVU is supposed to be offensively challenged, but they're on an 85 point pace...

Don't have stupid ESPN+ so have to rely on you all and Gamecast to follow. I thought WVU couldn't score? Note that they have as many ORBs as we have total RBs - think it was the same at AFH...

UNC's defense is just awful. Duke's not much better...

KSU with 5 points in 8-1/2 minutes against the defensive powerhouse that is ISU...

North Carolina with a choke job of epic proportions

Bad shots early in the shot clock, missed FTs (some barely getting to the rim) and matador defense in the last 4 minutes....

Well, we hit 60.....

Nice TO and foul - let them score with no time off the clock...
