00:00Let's get to Thursday. Big 12 quarterfinal action in Kansas
00:03City. First game of the day. The one at the bottom. What an
00:07absolute wonderful affair between these two sides. Once
00:11again, BYU and Iowa State. The Cougars win their ninth
00:15consecutive game 96-92. A total of 145 and a half skies over.
00:22BYU wins outright as a three and a half point dog. Donnie,
00:26we said yesterday, this game tips at 12 30 p.m. Eastern
00:29time. Be tuned into that tip because Iowa State had a couple
00:33of players that were questionable to go. Tamen Lipsy,
00:36their star point guard. Keyshawn Gilbert, one of the best
00:38guards in the Big 12. Both did not play yesterday. I bet BYU
00:43as soon as I saw that, closer to a pick-em price. And yet
00:47Curtis Jones for Iowa State had other ideas in the opening
00:5220 minutes. He was leading Iowa State to a halftime lead
00:56in the fact that the Cyclones were so hot offensively to
01:00begin. 31 combined made threes between these two. A Big 12
01:05tourney record this following DRS just a few weeks ago in
01:09Ames. An 88-85 thriller in overtime between these two teams.
01:14Double OT even. What a great game it was yesterday to start
01:17off quarterfinal Thursday in KC. It was and you know me, I
01:21have my eyes on Iowa State. Down a couple starters in that
01:24game. Still put up 92 points against a quality opponent.
01:27Did lose their shot. Getting that extra bump in guards win
01:30in March. If you don't have your best guards, you're probably
01:33not going to win against quality opponents and they still hung
01:35tough at that point here. I'm not giving up on Iowa State,
01:38but now we just need to see and read the tea leaves of how
01:41healthy these players are going to be with roughly a week
01:43off before their next game. If they're both back in the
01:46starting lineup, that's a team I certainly want to take a
01:48look at. But credit to BYU. Again, we talk about Kentucky
01:51in the same way. They are a fun team to watch and a fun
01:54team to bet no doubt about it.
