And so the climb begins

It's good to see Wayne's World working after so many called it DOA.

Baylor clearly wants a slow pace, and ISU gave up some layups trying to force the issue. But teams always want to run, whether they are suited for it or not, and BU got harried late in the first. Hopefully ISU can continue forcing the issue on other teams, too.

Now that ISU has gotten themselves out of the basement, they begin the slow climb up the standings. There is not much margin for error with five road games left, including stops in Austin and Lawrence. An 8-8 finish would be a heck of an accomplishment considering the start this team had, and would get them firmly on the bubble. But to get there the Streak That Won't Die must, and it must die hard.
