We interrupt the cloud of gloom currently hanging over the ISU men’s basketball program to remind you of the cloud of gloom over the ISU football program.
On its way to a Big 12 co-championship last year, Baylor’s win total in the Big 12 era (1996-present, both in and out of conference) surpassed Iowa State’s. The Bears are 90-135 (for an exact .400 percentage), while the Cyclones are 87-142.
After their first decade in the Big 12, ISU had 21 more overall wins than Baylor. That entire margin has evaporated.
In conference play in the past five years, Baylor has gone 30-14 while ISU has gone 11-33.
