The blame game

They passed it, shot it, and dribbled it. It was also every way the Cyclones gave up a turnover to Baylor Saturday.
"We turned it over in just a variety of ways," Cyclones coach Greg McDermott said. "There was no one thing that we were doing. Just from bad decisions to just having the ball taken out of our hands."
Those bad decisions resulted in 19 turnovers against the Bears. With the exception of their pre-season game with Centenary on Nov. 10, every time the Cyclones have that many turnovers or more, they have lost. During their 79-44 loss to Drake on Dec. 5, they gave up the ball 21 times.
Tomorrow, they'll face a Missouri team that ranks No. 9 in the nation in turnovers and tight defense like Baylor's.
"They (Baylor) put on a little bit more pressure then we had seen in the last couple of gmaes," said junior point guard Bryan Peterson. "We just didn't handle it very well."
