Iowa State loses a winnable game at home to Baylor for the second straight year.
The 13th ranked Cyclones, despite leading most of the time, pissed away a game they should have won against the Baylor Bears in Ames for the second straight year.
Iowa State opened up a double digit lead in the first half on the shoulders of a 22 point performance by Georges Niang, and even led 52-40 with 15 minutes left in the second half. But Baylor rode a pair of 10-0 runs and neutralized Niang with a Triangle-and-two defense en route to a 60 point second half, securing their second victory ever in a subdued Hilton Coliseum.
