Meanwhile, Tuesday afternoon brings the first round class between Arizona State and Baylor. The victor advances to face Iowa State right away in the second round. Cyclones fans remember the physical battles with Baylor this year. Iowa State handled them twice, winning 70 to 60 on the road in January and 72 to 69 at home in February. Stars like Tam and Lipsi and Joshua Jefferson led those gritty victories. Just days ago, Iowa State dominated Arizona State in their finale, 86 to 65, sparked by a massive 24 to 0 run in the second half. That Lipsi to result highlights the Sun Devil's vulnerabilities.
