The Baylor Bears will travel to Ames, Iowa on Saturday to take on an Iowa State team that is undefeated at home in Big 12 Conference play.

The Baylor Bears will have a showdown tonight against the Oklahoma Sooners at 6 p.m. in the Ferrell Center.
The two teams are opposites in many ways. The Sooners boast frontline experience and talent but lack depth in the backcourt.

Baylor and TCU are two basketball teams heading in two separate directions. TCU is winless in conference play and Baylor is 4-1 and coming off a victory against Oklahoma State on ESPN’s Big Monday showcase.
The Baylor Bears defeated the Oklahoma State Cowboys on Monday, 64-54. The game featured breakout performances from freshman center Isaiah Austin and junior forward Cory Jefferson: both Austin and Jefferson posted double-doubles on the stat sheet. They also clearly impacted the game with their shot blocking and interior defense.
“We just wanted to be aggressive,” Austin said. “We wanted to control the paint and that’s what we did.”
With one second remaining, senior forward Jacob Neubert threw the inbounds pass to freshman center Isaiah Austin at the Baylor free throw line.
The No. 16 Baylor men’s basketball team will face the undefeated Boston College Eagles at 2 p.m. today in its first round game at the Charleston Classic in Charleston, S.C.
Seniors Brady Heslip started his career as a member of the Boston College basketball team before transferring to Baylor. Heslip did not play in any games, however.
Heslip started this season shooting just 20 percent from the three-point arc. While his shooting numbers may be down, teams still have to put a defender in his face because he is such an established threat. This stretches the floor and allows guards to penetrate.

Losing in the Elite Eight in two of the past three seasons has left this Baylor men’s basketball team hungry.
The players believe that the program is at a level now where making the NCAA tournament is a given, and tournament runs are expected.
In 2010, the Bears lost to eventual national champion Duke.
