****THE OFFICIAL KU vs IOWA STATE thread****

[Skip Towne]

1:00 - ESPN Go Hawks

[doomy3]

Let's go hawks

Looks like they moved the tip back 10 minutes

[Reerun_KC]

I was hopeing the would move the tip time back.. I get tired of missing the first 5-8 minutes of each KU game....

[Skip Towne]

Good deal on the tim change. We are waiting for a blowout to grind to a halt.

[Reerun_KC]

Game time... I wonder what KU's Ranking will be on Monday?

[Reerun_KC]

This game makes me alittle nervous.. Almost like a trap game...

Kind of like what WilliamtheIrish says. KSU always gets everyones A game. So I wonder if we will get Iowa states B game?

[Reerun_KC]

Looky here alittle full court to open the game?

[Skip Towne]

We have always had trouble in Ames. Even our really good teams.

[chiefsfan987]

This game makes me alittle nervous.. Almost like a trap game...

Kind of like what WilliamtheIrish says. KSU always gets everyones A game. So I wonder if we will get Iowa states B game?

I think the reason this game makes you nervous is because of the Hilton Magic. ISU usually plays the jayhawks tough there.

[Reerun_KC]

Maybe we can get some Paris Hilton Magic for Iowa State today...

[Skip Towne]

This game makes me alittle nervous.. Almost like a trap game...

Kind of like what WilliamtheIrish says. KSU always gets everyones A game. So I wonder if we will get Iowa states B game?
William is a dumb dirt farmer. Don't listen to him.

[Reerun_KC]

William is a dumb dirt farmer. Don't listen to him.

I dont, I was just trolling a little.....

[DJay23]

Gettin out hustled on the boards so far.

[chiefsfan987]

Rebounding so far for the Jayhawks is abysmal. You can't let ISU have 4 offensive rebounds on one possession.

[Reerun_KC]

Good Lord KU... Solid D and funky weak Turnovers...

[DJay23]

Nice take by Mario

[Reerun_KC]

Bill will not be happy getting out rebounded!

[noa]

Nice play Chalmers. Lots of fouls early.

[Skip Towne]

Blow these guys out. I'm not in the mood for drama.

[KurtCobain]

c'mon hawks!

[Reerun_KC]

I love the fact we are pressing!

Our D is stiffling right now!

[Reerun_KC]

Blow these guys out. I'm not in the mood for drama.

:bravo:

Me either... I want a cruise control win.....

[noa]

I haven't seen a Kum & Go sign for a while.

[Reerun_KC]

My God Kaun, you have to dribble!

[noa]

Sasha, do you realize that you can't move both feet at the same time without dribbling?

[noa]

Over the back

[Reerun_KC]

This is sickening right about now...

[noa]

How many turnovers have happened because Kaun either couldn't catch the ball or traveled with it?

[chiefsfan987]

Even though Kaun had a good game last time, KU needs to realize bad things happen when you pass to the ball to him. He shouldn't touch the ball on the offensive side of the court.

[DJay23]

Iowa State really doesn't match up with us well down low and their outside shot isn't dropping AT ALL at the moment.

[Reerun_KC]

Iowa State really doesn't match up with us well down low and their outside shot isn't dropping AT ALL at the moment.

At this moment.. We are getting position and established down low, We have to convert or they could go on a run IF they get hot from outside...

[Reerun_KC]

Kaun needs to go to the bench for a bit....

4 TO's and now a foul on a 3....

[noa]

Jesus Sasha, go to the bench. Put in Shady.

[chiefsfan987]

How many times are we gonna foul people shooting a 3? I swear this team is the worst 3 point defending team in the nation, if they're not wide open for three we foul them to give them 3 free throws.

[Reerun_KC]

Kaun now has 2 fouls....


Come on Bill chew alittle Kaun butt right about now...

[chiefsfan987]

Dumb foul by Kaun. Man its just not his day.

[Bearcat]

This game makes me alittle nervous.. Almost like a trap game...


I told a friend the other day KU might as well not make the roadtrip to ISU... I don't know if it's a trend, but I remember a few times where they've played like crap before a Big Monday game, and the 30 point win against OSU certainly doesn't help.

[noa]

Bill Self should have realized how shitty of a game Sasha was having about 6 minutes ago

[DJay23]

Wow, Sherron

[Reerun_KC]

Thank God Collins and Jackson came to Play....

[chiefsfan987]

That was a nice possession. A couple offensive rebounds and converted into points.

[Reerun_KC]

The TV Timeout came a great time....

The Defense is intensive... We just need to convert when we get the ball down low...

Iowa St. switched to zone already....

[Skip Towne]

Jesus Sasha, go to the bench. Put in Shady.
Shady? :shrug:

[DJay23]

I have to disagree with that knowledgable comment about those in Hilton. They boo EVERY call against Iowa State whether it was the correct call or not.

[Mr. Laz]

Dumb foul by Kaun. Man its just not his day.
kaun didn't foul that guy on the dribble ... a little body contact, shouldn't of been called.


i've seen KU get mugged 2 or 3 times already and they are calling ticky tack fouls on the jawks.


little ref home cooking going on.

[chiefsfan987]

I have to disagree with that knowledgable comment about those in Hilton. They boo EVERY call against Iowa State whether it was the correct call or not.

Fran was talking about the 3 people who don't boo :)

[DJay23]

Shady? :shrug:
Darrell Arthur

[Reerun_KC]

Jackson is an animal...

I am afriad he is going to trample someone this year....

[DJay23]

Fran was talking about the 3 people who don't boo :)
Heh.

Nice hard work by Darnell. He might be our most underappreciated guy. If only he could show some consistency.

[Mr. Laz]

Bill Self should have realized how shitty of a game Sasha was having about 6 minutes ago
slow start ... but the team is still better with him in there.


he does the small things really well ... like stepping out to stop the cutter ... setting screens over and over again.

KU's other big men don't do it ... that's why Kaun is starting.


The KU guards need to keep going inside ... it opens up the rest of the floor.

[Skip Towne]

I wouldn't want to meet Jackson in a dark alley. he is the prototype of what Self had at Illinois.

[Reerun_KC]

Can it be possible every lose ball is off a Jayhawk?

[chiefsfan987]

KU isn't playing a very smart game right now.

[DJay23]

kaun didn't foul that guy on the dribble ... a little body contact, shouldn't of been called.


i've seen KU get mugged 2 or 3 times already and they are calling ticky tack fouls on the jawks.


little ref home cooking going on.
Na, foul calls look good to me. They're calling it close, but as long as they're consistent. I think it's well officiated so far.

[DJay23]

KU isn't playing a very smart game right now.
Some dumb post entries on guys who are doubled.

[Reerun_KC]

Defense is going to have to win this game for KU, I will take a 4 point win and get out of Paris Hiltons Magic..

[Skip Towne]

kaun didn't foul that guy on the dribble ... a little body contact, shouldn't of been called.


i've seen KU get mugged 2 or 3 times already and they are calling ticky tack fouls on the jawks.


little ref home cooking going on.
They call it Hilton magic.

[Reerun_KC]

Man Rush is cold today....

[Lzen]

Our big guys are getting mugged inside.

[DJay23]

I'm still not worried. Iowa State is not a good team, we'll get a run here, a run there and wear em out.

[Mr. Laz]

Na, foul calls look good to me. They're calling it close, but as long as they're consistent. I think it's well officiated so far.
and when Rush was dribbling the ball out by the 3 point line and the State guy reached completely around him from behind with both arms to grab at the ball??

that's a foul ... no way does that happen with no contact.

[Reerun_KC]

Oops a 3 for Rush....

[Reerun_KC]

One of those games they cant miss?

[Skip Towne]

We should be scoring more on these guys. They don't have much inside.

[Reerun_KC]

We should be scoring more on these guys. They don't have much inside.

That is right, but the Hi/Low isnt working very well, they are stopping all the lobs inside.

We need drive penatration by the guards this game....

[DJay23]

This is looking like a sissy slap fight. Go up strong and freaking finish these close shots.

That Johnson kid is good. Now box his ass out.

[Skip Towne]

That is right, but the Hi/Low isnt working very well, they are stopping all the lobs inside.

We need drive penatration by the guards this game....
I hate the Hi/Lo. High school offense. Only works when your guy is a foot taller.

[DJay23]

We should be scoring more on these guys. They don't have much inside.
Combo of 2 things:

Iowa State is doing a nice job using their athleticism to deny the entry pass.

Our guards are trying too hard to make entry passes to guys who aren't open.

[Reerun_KC]

Well not bad considering how tragic we look in the first half.

[Simply Red]

This is looking like an upset in the making, I hope not though. Still a half to go. Minature success stoping them at the halftime break.

[Reerun_KC]

Combo of 2 things:

Iowa State is doing a nice job using their athleticism to deny the entry pass.

Our guards are trying too hard to make entry passes to guys who aren't open.
True not all is lost. Only down by 3 at the Half...


KU still can come out and play 20 minutes of good basketball and still win this by 10...

[Reerun_KC]

This is looking like an upset in the making, I hope not though. Still a half to go. Minature success stoping them at the halftime break.

Its never an upset at Paris Hilton...


There is something about that place that just kills KU...

[Skip Towne]

Ohio State is down by one to Tennessee with :25 to go

[Reerun_KC]

Well nice to see we have the same Ref that Iowa State had under this basket in the first half....

[crazycoffey]

game on!!!!!!!!!

[Reerun_KC]

Hello, finally, they have been over the back all day long!

[Lzen]

Hello, finally, they have been over the back all day long!

Yep

[Skip Towne]

RussRob!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lzen]

My gosh, these ISU fans boo everything that doesn't go their way. Even when most of them are good calls (or non-calls).

[Reerun_KC]

Nice the calls are starting to even out there, Well maybe in another 5 hours....

[Lzen]

That was a beautiful fast break by Chalmers.

[Reerun_KC]

Fouls are starting to add up on Iowa State....


We need, make that we have to hit our free throws....

[Reerun_KC]

Iowa State Crowd is freaking whiney!!!!!!

[DJay23]

Great play by Wright

[Skip Towne]

Wright warming up.

[Lzen]

Nice tip by Wright. Way to keep on the boards.

[DJay23]

Iowa State Crowd is freaking whiney!!!!!!
Nope! According to Ron and Fran they are, "knowledgable"

[Reerun_KC]

Nope! According to Ron and Fran they are, "knowledgable"


Oh my bad, Hell I cant say anything right today...

Thanks for the correction Ron and Phran....

[DJay23]

I didn't care for that call. Ball handler is out of control and initiated contact and gets it swatted...FOUL!

[Reerun_KC]

Nice pass, for AND 1

[DJay23]

Wow, someone needs to explain the rules of basketball to these people before the game.

[Mr. Laz]

2 more BS calls ...

wright didn't foul on the layup .... the offensive guy pushed him with a forearm.

Robinson didn't foul outside ... a body brush isn't a foul.



another game were we just aren't playing very well. :(

[chiefsfan987]

KU isn't gonna win this game unless they heat up from 3 point range. We're getting killed from beyond the arc. ISU 18 points KU 3.

[chiefsfan987]

Now 21 - 3.

[DJay23]

Where's your gang signs now Pipe Cleaner?

[ISUJeff]

Wow, someone needs to explain the rules of basketball to these people before the game.

You're right, you should expect the home crowd to be impartial

[Reerun_KC]

Hell yeah!

Throw up some Gang signs Iowa State!!!!

[DJay23]

KU isn't gonna win this game unless they heat up from 3 point range. We're getting killed from beyond the arc. ISU 18 points KU 3.
You live by the 3 you die by the 3. What's their percentage from beyond the arc?

[Reerun_KC]

These guys are getting crap butt lucky and banking in 3's... Hitting them falling away....

[chiefsfan987]

You live by the 3 you die by the 3. What's their percentage from beyond the arc?

Just under 40%

[DJay23]

You're right, you should expect the home crowd to be impartial
No, but I expect them to know the difference between a blocking call and a charge.

[Lzen]

You're right, you should expect the home crowd to be impartial

I have no problem with supporting your team. But my goodness they boo even the right calls. They boo every call that doesn't go their way. :rolleyes:

[DJay23]

Just under 40%
Not bad. If we start chucking up 3's though we'll defintely lose. Just need to play better perimeter D considering their interior offense sucks.

[Reerun_KC]

Holy crap, when theya re this hot from the 3, how do you defend that...

they are throwing up garbage and it is going in.....

[Mr. Laz]

These guys are getting crap butt lucky and banking in 3's... Hitting them falling away....
true dat

[chiefsfan987]

KU has got to start forcing ISU to take 2's instead of 3's.

[Reerun_KC]

Nice call of a TO by Bill.. No basket....

[007]

Just woke up, has Hilton magic taken hold again.

[DJay23]

Watch em boo this ISUJeff. Clearly didn't get that shot off.

[Reerun_KC]

Iowa State does seem to have a very good coach...

Better than the crap they have been trotting out there....

[DJay23]

I'm getting sick of watching these guys lay it up when they're right next tot he hoop.

[Reerun_KC]

Just woke up, has Hilton magic taken hold again.

Man it is trying...

Missing point blank shots, ISU hitting 3's from half court hook shots...

Yeah typical playing in Ames....

[Reerun_KC]

I'm getting sick of watching these guys lay it up when they're right next tot he hoop.
Hilton Magic....


That is all you can say. We have seen this story before....

[007]

Man it is trying...

Missing point blank shots, ISU hitting 3's from half court hook shots...

Yeah typical playing in Ames....
Christ!!! What is it about that damn building. It rates right up there with The Phog when we play there.

What channel is the game on anyway. Not broadcast TV I take it.

[Simply Red]

how is that not a travel?

[Reerun_KC]

Time for a Timeout!

[Lzen]

ESPN

[Reerun_KC]

Christ!!! What is it about that damn building. It rates right up there with The Phog when we play there.

What channel is the game on anyway. Not broadcast TV I take it.

ESPN....


All I can say is Hilton Magic is out today...

But only down by 3.....

Not over yet....

[DJay23]

Hilton Magic....


That is all you can say. We have seen this story before....
Bullshit. It's very simple. Iowa State has 1 guy shooting his brains out from 3 and KU hasn't been interested since about the 15 minute mark of the first half.

[Skip Towne]

No, but I expect them to know the difference between a blocking call and a charge.
They're from Iowa. They don't teach that in Tractor Repair School.

[Reerun_KC]

Bullshit. It's very simple. Iowa State has 1 guy shooting his brains out from 3 and KU hasn't been interested since about the 15 minute mark of the first half.

Everyone that steps out and takes the shot from the 3 are hitting them...

They have hit 10 or 11 of them... We have hit what 1 or 2?

[ISUJeff]

Watch em boo this ISUJeff. Clearly didn't get that shot off.

Good call by the refs and I actually didn't hear the crowd boo it too much.
But my main point is that the crowd is just showing some emotion for calls against their team, even when it's the right call and every crowd in the country does the same thing.

[Reerun_KC]

There is a lid on the bucket on our end....

This kid from Iowa State is 4 of 12 from 3, and he is just chucking them like crazy....

[chiefsfan987]

KU 3 points from beyond the arc.

ISU 27 points from beyond the arc.

[Reerun_KC]

KU 3 points from beyond the arc.

ISU 27 points from beyond the arc.

And next game Iowa State plays they will be 2 of 18 behind the arch and get it handed to them...


Hilton magic say....

[007]

KU 3 points from beyond the arc.

ISU 27 points from beyond the arc.
:eek: Get rid of the arc.

[007]

PIsses me off about this KU team. If they are not playing top 10 talent, they lose interest and play to their level or below. I just don't get that. What about friggin pride?

[Simply Red]

Chaka!

[DJay23]

Everyone that steps out and takes the shot from the 3 are hitting them...

They have hit 10 or 11 of them... We have hit what 1 or 2?

Here's the point. I'd rather my game plan, and hope for victory depend on running plays to get me a high percentage shot than the lowest percentage shot in the game.

[Lzen]

PIsses me off about this KU team. If they are not playing top 10 talent, they lose interest and play to their level or below. I just don't get that. What about friggin pride?

I don't think that's the case today. I think that could be said of this team earlier in the year. Give ISU some credit. Their coach has them playing very well today. Plus, they always make KU look worse at Hilton.

[Skip Towne]

And next game Iowa State plays they will be 2 of 18 behind the arch and get it handed to them...


Hilton magic say....
Like in the past, they'll come to Allen and we'll beat them by 30.

[DJay23]

Good call by the refs and I actually didn't hear the crowd boo it too much.
But my main point is that the crowd is just showing some emotion for calls against their team, even when it's the right call and every crowd in the country does the same thing.
No they don't.

I've never heard a Duke crowd boo an obvious block by a Duke player.

I've never heard a Kentucky crowd boo a random foul call against the Wildcats.

UCLA fans don't go nuts when someone from SC hit's a leaner off a drop step, screaming for a travel.

I don't know that I've heard a crowd that has boo'd EVERY call against their team like this crowd has.

[Simply Red]

Sorry just started watching tv...

Did OSU lose?

[ISUJeff]

Like in the past, they'll come to Allen and we'll beat them by 30.

Won't argue with that at all

[Mr. Laz]

kaun plays better pissed off ... he's turning into a viable offensive threat.

[Reerun_KC]

Like in the past, they'll come to Allen and we'll beat them by 30.


Yep pretty much..

We we still can win this game.. As bad as KU played we are only down by 1....


There is still a chance, but we have to hit our free throws!!

[DJay23]

ISU has done a good job getting back in transition today.

[Reerun_KC]

Have to make Free Throws!!!!!!

[Reerun_KC]

WOW what a game!

[chiefsfan987]

Too bad Kaun can't make a free throw :(

[Simply Red]

CHAKA KHAN!!!

[Simply Red]

Too bad Kaun can't make a free throw :(

yep

[chiefsfan987]

I knew he'd miss that. Good lord does he ever make a free throw?

[Lzen]

Wow, they boo again. Big surprise. If Wright and Kaun could hit FTs, we'd be up by a few points.

[Skip Towne]

Get hot :KU:

[Mr. Laz]

we can't shoot free throws worth crap

[Reerun_KC]

Hilton Magic!

[SPchief]

3

[chiefsfan987]

Wide open for 3 again.

[Simply Red]

Dammit! They could close their eyes throw the ball up and it'd go in right now!\ :banghead:

[Skip Towne]

Shee-it

[Reerun_KC]

Hits the three while falling down....

OMG.... You cant defend that or Beat the Hilton Magic....

[DJay23]

Jesus, get your ****ing hand in the air and challenge the shot at least.

[Mr. Laz]

Too bad Kaun can't make a free throw :(
didn't hear you bitching when Wright just miss a FT

[chiefsfan987]

KU better work on their 3 point defense if they want to be successfull in the NCAA tournament.

[Reerun_KC]

30 or 33 points from the 3 this game?

[Lzen]

Rush big time!!

[chiefsfan987]

Woo hoo outscored 30-6 from 3 point land.

[Skip Towne]

RUSH!!!!

[Simply Red]

okay calm down slow it down. Yeah what that announcer guy said...

[Reerun_KC]

Holy Crap, here is our chance to get the basket as the clock expires! Come on guys!

[DJay23]

Good coaching move to put Rush on Taylor.

[Reerun_KC]

Chalmers time!

[Mr. Laz]

i hope we don't wait until 10 seconds to run this final play ... we always run out of time.

need to start at 15 seconds

[Simply Red]

RUSH!!!!

did OSU lose?

[Lzen]

Jesus, get your ****ing hand in the air and challenge the shot at least.

Chalmers did get his hand in the air. It's just that he sagged down inside to much. He had to run way back outside to try and defend the 3 point shot. Obviously, he was too late.

KU still has a chance. Tie game with KU getting the last possession....hopefully.

[SPchief]

OT

[Skip Towne]

OT

[Fairplay]

Why didn't they set someone up inside?

[Mr. Laz]

dammit ... chalmers was planning on taking a 3 the whole time.

if we had gone earlier Robinson would of had to time to stick that rebound back in for the win.

:banghead:

[Reerun_KC]

Damn he should of drove that! He had a mis match....

[chiefsfan987]

didn't hear you bitching when Wright just miss a FT


Thats because Wright doesn't miss every single free throw he attempts.

[teedubya]

anyones game, now...

[Lzen]

Woo hoo outscored 30-6 from 3 point land.

My gosh, are you a KU fan? Or do you just like to bitch? Are you even watching this game. KU plays good defense for the most part. They have just hit some ridiculous shots.

[DJay23]

Woo hoo outscored 30-6 from 3 point land.
And guess what, we could still win. It's a shaky proposition to just throw 3 pointers up, especially when that's not what your team is built for. Works for undersized teams, but then again, they usually don't crack .500 on the year.

I'm telling you, the only team in recent memory that won a NC with nothing but 3 point shooting was Kentucky like 10 years ago.

[Reerun_KC]

ISU has foul trouble .... Especially Taylor....

[Skip Towne]

Get the lead!!!!!!!!!

[Mr. Laz]

Thats because Wright doesn't miss every single free throw he attempts.
Wright is shooting 60% from the line this year

Kaun is shooting 63% from the line this year

[Lzen]

Wow, that was a charge. #24 extended his arm.

[Reerun_KC]

Wow, that was a charge. #24 extended his arm.

Yep and so typical of KU at ISU, we are missing layups!

[chiefsfan987]

My gosh, are you a KU fan? Or do you just like to bitch? Are you even watching this game. KU plays good defense for the most part. They have just hit some ridiculous shots.

I am watching this game and no I don't like to bitch, but its very obvious that our 3 point d isn't very good. We do a great job inside the paint defending shots but we just leave too many guys wide open for the 3 ball.

[Lzen]

Wright is shooting 60% from the line this year

Kaun is shooting 63% from the line this year

Nothing like facts to debunk a stupid argument. Good job. :thumb:

[Reerun_KC]

Well kaun is shooting 50% from FT land today....


We have to make FT's!!!!!

[Lzen]

I am watching this game and no I don't like to bitch, but its very obvious that our 3 point d isn't very good. We do a great job inside the paint defending shots but we just leave too many guys wide open for the 3 ball.

Ok, fine. I still disagree with you. Sure, KU has played the 3 point shot poorly a few times. But for the most part, they've defended it well. ISU has just hit some crazy shots.

[Fairplay]

Advertisment in background says Kum and go, heh.

[DJay23]

WOW! OVer the back anyone?

[chiefsfan987]

Nothing like facts to debunk a stupid argument. Good job. :thumb:


How many free throws have each attempted? My guess is that Wright has attempted more of them. Kaun has been injured and as he shoots more will finish well below Wright's FT percentage.

[Skip Towne]

I hate these!!!

[Reerun_KC]

How many free throws have each attempted? My guess is that Wright has attempted more of them. Kaun has been injured and as he shoots more will finish well below Wright's FT percentage.

Who Cares? if you want to win a game like this you have to hit the FT's!!!!

[Reerun_KC]

I hate these!!!
Why, you jinked us earlier in the thread, by hoping for a blowout...

[DJay23]

I am watching this game and no I don't like to bitch, but its very obvious that our 3 point d isn't very good. We do a great job inside the paint defending shots but we just leave too many guys wide open for the 3 ball.
28 of their 60 total shots this game have been 3's. You shoot that many you're bound to score at least 10 of em.

It's not a great way to expect to win a game unless you've got a guy who is unconscious.

[Lzen]

How many free throws have each attempted? My guess is that Wright has attempted more of them. Kaun has been injured and as he shoots more will finish well below Wright's FT percentage.

It doesn't matter what you predict will happen. The stats say that Wright is a little bit worse a FT shooter. Facts are facts. Either way, I don't like either one of their FT percentages. I would much rather our big guys shoot about 75% or more.

[KCFalcon59]

Rush!!!!

[DJay23]

THat was timely

[Simply Red]

YES!!

[Skip Towne]

Put 'em away!!!!!!!!!

[DJay23]

Shit, we have to hit free throws now.

[chiefsfan987]

Who Cares? if you want to win a game like this you have to hit the FT's!!!!

I'm only stating it because its possible the stats are lying based on different sample sizes. Its like in baseball after the first week of the season and you have a guy like Angel Berroa hitting .500 and you say he's better than David DeJesus because he's only hitting .200 the first week. I'm not looking to argue, I'm just saying its possible that the stats aren't accurate yet.

[Lzen]

28 of their 60 total shots this game have been 3's. You shoot that many you're bound to score at least 10 of em.

It's not a great way to expect to win a game unless you've got a guy who is unconscious.

Hard to shoot well from 3 point range consistently. That's why, like you said, teams that rely on 3 point shooting too much don't have great records.

[Simply Red]

Look, just in time to watch the playoffs.

[Simply Red]

Rock! Chalk!

JAYHAWK!!

KKKKKKKKKKKK


UUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lzen]

Wright has to make the FTs here. Yeah, I know....duh. Fingers crossed.

[Reerun_KC]

Just one would be nice! 2 would be awesome!

[chiefsfan987]

28 of their 60 total shots this game have been 3's. You shoot that many you're bound to score at least 10 of em.

It's not a great way to expect to win a game unless you've got a guy who is unconscious.


Thats true, but you could also say by taking that many 3's you don't have to make nearly as many of them to pull of the upset. Its looking like its not going to happen today, but its what kept them in the game and gave them a great shot at pulling off the upset.

[Simply Red]

Rock! Chalk!

JAYHAWK!!

KKKKKKKKKKKK


UUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Reerun_KC]

1 down!

[DJay23]

ball game

[Skip Towne]

WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Fairplay]

Excellent.

[Mr. Laz]

game bitches :clap:

[Reerun_KC]

yes, beat the refs, beat Hilton Magic and ISU!

[Lzen]

Look, just in time to watch the playoffs.

BTW, did anyone answer you about OSU?

If you meant Ohio State, they won a tight game.

If you meant Oklahoma State, their game at Nebraska was canceled due bad weather.

[Simply Red]

Now to the Colts Ravens Game Thread....

[Lzen]

Screw your Hilton magic, ISU!!!

[Silock]

What an ugly, ugly game.

That game had home cooking written all over it.

Couldn't make shots, but still won. Good stuff.

Speaking of bad weather. Hows the weather back there? We're getting snow right now.

Thats true, but you could also say by taking that many 3's you don't have to make nearly as many of them to pull of the upset. Its looking like its not going to happen today, but its what kept them in the game and gave them a great shot at pulling off the upset.
I see what you're saying but statistically if you shutdown the interior and take your chances with allowing the 3 more often, you have a better shot to win. That being said, our perimeter D sucked ass today. THAT being said, everything we did sucked today...but we still won!

[teedubya]

Eat a dick to all the Iowanian Staters! mwha ahahah

If you rely on the 3, you can pull off the occasional upset. But that is no way to win consistently.

[ISUJeff]

KU's the better team, well done, but enjoyed ISU's play. Impressive coaching that this group could even hang with the Jayhawks.

We've gotten a little icy rain. It's a little slick out but not too terrible. It's freakin' Antarctica temperature, though. Something like 16 degrees here in Topeka.

ISU has to be kicking themselves. They had a great game plan against us and fell short because they didn't execute at the FT line.

[Mr. Laz]

Big 12 basketball coaches have definitely improved

ISU looks like they got themselves a gamer

Mizzou as well

i imagine huggins will get it together too if they can stay outa trouble.

Where have you been, slacker?

Well I'm not going to argue that you can consistently win relying on the three ball, BUT, I do think its our oppositions whomever we may be playings best shot at beating the Jayhawks. It takes away some of the advantage KU has in athleticism by not having to make as many shots.

McDermott is a great coach. I think the future is bright for your team. Good game today.

Its been a crazy winter out here in the pacific nw. Worst one I've ever seen out here. Usually it'll snow and it'll be melted within an hour or two of falling but this year its been sticking for days, turning into ice, and no one out here knows how to drive in it. We've had a lot of high winds out here alot as well knocking down tree's all over the place through people's house's, cars, etc.

I don't disagree with that. ISU actually has a pretty good post player (Russian guy? ). But yeah, they don't matchup with KU at all talent wise.

A win is a win!

ISWHo?


Time for MU now!

Yeah, I would imagine people out there wouldn't know how to drive in snow too well. Reminds me of when the south gets hit with snow. They have wrecks all over the place because nobody knows how to drive in it.

We have actually had a pretty mild winter here so far. This weather this weekend is the worse that it's been all winter. A few days ago, it was in the 60s.

I figured KU would win today. I mean, Iowa State is a team that Northern Iowa ran out of the gym and beat by 13.

I'll give you 13 when we play at Allen.

[ArrowheadHawk]

wow i just finished watching the game i had to tivo most of it, wow, what is it about that damn Hilton Place?

ISU took us out of our game. Props to them, Ku needs to get better offensively.

there is just something about playing a top 10 team in your house and lets not forget they are conference rivals. The probably overlooked A Missouri Valley team..





By the way how is WSU doing these days? are they still the best in the state?

[teedubya]

Where have you been, slacker?

Today is my daughter's 1st birthday... doing family stuff... turned game on right at overtime.

[Pitt Gorilla]

I'll give you 13 when we play at Allen.Convince your AD to muster the fortitude to schedule us and we'll see what happens.

Get your priorities straight. She'll have lots of birthdays.

Heh. I knew the Boys in Blue would pull it out...

Oh look, a MU fan trying to downplay a KU victory. How cute.

BTW, MU is getting pounded by the kitties.

Wait, I thought you were a MU fan. WTF? Are you now a WSU fan, too?

I am an MU fan, but I'm more of a UNI fan. This is our only common opponent (and we beat them), so I figured KU would win. Interesting projection, though.

[Pitt Gorilla]

Wait, I thought you were a MU fan. WTF? Are you now a WSU fan, too?A tenure track position will do that to ya. (edit: not WSU, though)
