Iowa State opens the Big 12 Tournament in Kansas City on Thurdsay with a late morning game against 10th ranked Baylor. The Cyclones beat the Bears twice during the regular season, including a 73-58 win in Waco on Saturday.
That’s Iowa State coach T.J. Otzelberger who says Baylor will want the game to be played at a faster pace.
ISU senior guard Gabe Kalscheur says beating Baylor a third time begins with defense.
Kalscheur says it will come down to who wants it more.
The game tips off at 11:30 a.m. at the T-Mobile Center in KC.
