[Lzen]

KU vs ISU 2014 Pt. 1

Where: Ames, IA
When: 8:00pm
TV: ESPN

Let's go, Hawks!

[TLO]

In.

[Pablo]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Hawks by 3.

[RustShack]

Boooo

[Titty Meat]

Is it on at 8 central?

[mr. tegu]

Hooray for Big Monday. I can actually watch the game.

[kevonm]

What does a cyclone sound like in Ames?


BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[RustShack]

It's kind of nice being ranked #8, while Kansas is #15.

[TLO]

It's kind of nice being ranked #8, while Kansas is #15.

Enjoy it while it lasts.

[RustShack]

Enjoy it while it lasts.

For the foreseeable future.

[saphojunkie]

It's kind of nice being BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, while BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO is BOOOOOOOOOOO.

Fixed it.

[DJay23]

For the foreseeable future.

I thought that about KU football after the Orange Bowl and Insight Bowl wins.

[DJay23]

I think this one goes like the OU game. KU owning it in the paint while ISU hits jumper after jumper. I say we win by 5 or less, but I would not be at all shocked if we lose too.

I think the Florida game was nice prep for the atmosphere the freshmen will face.

[Earthling]

Is it on at 8 central?

Yep

[KC_Connection]

It is notable that all of Wiggins' best games (with the exception of Saturday) have come in hostile road environments. I expect him to show up.

[Earthling]

In for the K U W I N ! :thumb:

[Chiefs Pantalones]

BOOOOOOOOOO!!!

[RustShack]

I thought that about KU football after the Orange Bowl and Insight Bowl wins.

Then you let Mangino go. Thankfully, he will fix our offense now.

[Saul Good]

Just put $60 on Kansas +2.5.

The only thing that scares me is that Kansas is phenomenal when playing from ahead, but they struggle to get it together when they get hit in the mouth.

[Bearcat]

Just put $60 on Kansas +2.5.

The only thing that scares me is that Kansas is phenomenal when playing from ahead, but they struggle to get it together when they get hit in the mouth.

Yeah, overall, Self's teams have been pretty phenomenal at pulling wins out of their ass, but this team hasn't shown that yet.

[Titty Meat]

Bearcat lets watch the game at fric n frac

[DJay23]

Then you let Mangino go. Thankfully, he will fix our offense now.

It's great to be excited about your team when they've sucked for so long. I mean really, that's great for you and your fellow Cyclone fans. But I'm just saying don't get too far ahead of yourself.

[DJay23]

Meh, we cut to within 5 at Florida based on second half play alone. They can come back. The problem teams are the ones that keep you at arms length. ISU doesn't seem to have the D to do that. My opinion.

[Bearcat]

Bearcat lets watch the game at fric n frac

I totally would, but no.

[Mr. Plow]

Jack a 3.....

Booooooooooooo


Jack a 3.....

Booooooooooooo

Booooooooooooo

[Mr. Plow]

You going to drag your butt over to Topeka on 2/1? I'll make sure they have some hockey on for you during the game.

[RustShack]

I'm excited about what could be for football. But I know We've arrived in Basketball. We were a blown call away from the Final Four last year, but this team is better. And next years is even better. We will emerge very soon as a basketball powerhouse until the day Fred retires or leaves for the NBA.

Our basketball team is like that sexy fast Oregon football offense that everyone loves and pulls in great talent.

This is just the beginning. Fred's just tapping at the door.

[Ceej]

You can tell when a fanbase is delusional and new to winning when they think next year's team is already better and they haven't even stepped on the court yet.

Brilliant.

How confident are you feeling about the game tonight RustShack?

Care to place a little wager on the game?

[Brianfo]

Just put $60 on Kansas +2.5.

The only thing that scares me is that Kansas is phenomenal when playing from ahead, but they struggle to get it together when they get hit in the mouth.

State won't hit em in the mouth. Been slow starters all year. Plays into KUs hand. Kane is probable so lets see what we have.

[Bearcat]

You going to drag your butt over to Topeka on 2/1? I'll make sure they have some hockey on for you during the game.

I'll be in Omaha for hockey that weekend.

I can give you the schedule next year in advance.... :shrug:

They were down by 15 to Florida at the half. They came back and won the second half by 9 points.

I think they can recover just fine.

Every. Damn. Year. :p

[RustShack]

Brilliant.

Well we only lose two guys, the two guys sitting out would start this year. Not to mention the two spots we have open, one likely for Vaughn who will be one and done. Plus a year of experience tends to make people better... That should help our two true freshman sophomore in his first year playing... Among everyone else.

[TLO]

Well?

Already counting Vaughn. Priceless.

KU should probably try to get out of the Big 12 since you guys got everything wrapped up next year.

[bdj23]

Well?

BOOOOOOOOOOO

[Saul Good]

They were down by 15 to Florida at the half. They came back and won the second half by 9 points.

There is no such thing as winning a half. Florida led nearly wire to wire, and Kansas made it respectable in garbage time.

[Brianfo]

KU is/has been good for years, but if you haven't been paying attention, Clones have a pretty good thing going with Hoiberg. Good coach and a recruiting MOFO. Tonight will tell me a lot about Cyclones. Go State!!

[Mr. Laz]

[TLO]

Well fuck you too RustShack.

Care to place a little wager on the game?

What type of wager?

[bdj23]

Of course UVA would go on a run. Gonna miss 5 minutes of our game.

F dook

[TLO]

What type of wager?

Too late.

In other news, tip is at 8:10. Hopefully Virginia and Duke don't go into overtime or something dumb.

[Mr. Christopher]

Definitely not 8 eastern ;-)

[chiefsfan987]

Of course UVA would go on a run. Gonna miss 5 minutes of our game.

F dook

If it goes to overtime it'll be a heck of a lot more time than that.

[Kiimo]

Welp now it's me saying BOOO. Let's get this started already!

[Mr. Plow]

Stupid Duke.

[chiefsfan987]

damn.... the only thing I didn't want there was a Duke 3. Now there is a good chance of OT :( If they just would have made the two odds were really good that OT wouldn't have happened.

[TLO]

Hopefully Virginia drains a 3 and we can transition to the KU game.

[TLO]

Game starting on ESPNews

[Mr. Plow]

Game starting on ESPNews

Nice!

[Mr. Plow]

First booooooooo of the game.

[TLO]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[DJay23]

Just in time for the BOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

[Mr. Plow]

On a no dick in butt foul.

[Ceej]

No dick in the butt foul called.

[SPchief]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Mr. Laz]

Boooooooooooooo

[Mr. Plow]

Second booooooooo

[Ceej]

BOOOOOOOOOO!!!

[TLO]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Ok I'll stop. (For now)

[Mr_Tomahawk]

booooooooooooo

[DJay23]

Wow is it just like a thing now? Like you make fun of someone for something so they own it or are ISU fans really that clueless about the rules of basketball?

[Mr. Plow]

lol, not doubling Ellis.

[TLO]

LOL

[Mr. Plow]

Wow is it just like a thing now? Like you make fun of someone for something so they own it or are ISU fans really that clueless about the rules of basketball?

They boo everything. Good & bad.

[SPchief]

How do you airball a free throw

[Ceej]

Kane must have been fouled shooting that FT.

BOOOOOOOOO!!!!

[Mr. Plow]

Nice and 1

[Mr. Laz]

wow ... Tharpe

[Ceej]

Couldn't have asked for a better start.

[TLO]

Quite the start for KU.

13-4

Timeout ISU

[Pablo]

Haha. Fuck you Boo clones.

[Mr. Plow]

Great start. Not sure why they aren't doubling Ellis. He'll tear them up if they don't.

[chiefsfan987]

BOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TLO]

How do you airball a free throw

I'm not sure, but I'll never forget the Brady Morningstar free throw fiasco.

[Mr. Plow]

I'm guessing Rust is off furiously masturbating to try to get the mojo back on their side.

[chiefsfan987]

Pedal to the metal... don't let up all night long.

[Earthling]

KU kickin' it! Oh yeah!!!

[saphojunkie]

Stupid ****ing Iowa State jackasses.

[saphojunkie]

GUESS WHAT? KEVIN YOUNG AIN'T ANDREW WIGGINS

[TLO]

Wilson Toyota

[chiefsfan987]

It's early but it looks like our length is bothering them.

[Mr. Plow]

Third boooooo

[saphojunkie]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Mr_Tomahawk]

booooooooooo

[Mr. Plow]

Damnit Embiid.

[TLO]

????

What did Embid just do?

[Shogun]

GUESS WHAT? KEVIN YOUNG AIN'T ANDREW WIGGINS

I would love to have Kevin young this season. So much.

[Mr. Plow]

Fourth boooooo

[Earthling]

Oh yeah

[Ceej]

Dude. Embiid. WTF are you doing?

[chiefsfan987]

What on earth is going on inside of Embid's head. After last week you do that? Come on.

[TLO]

:facepalm:

That was a bit of a flop.

[Mr. Plow]

Meh. Throwing his arm off of him.

[TribalElder]

Kansas is your daddy

[chiefsfan987]

I actually wouldn't mind if they threw him out again because he clearly hasn't learned his lesson.

[KC_Connection]

Joke flagrant 1 call there. It begins.

[Bearcat]

Seems fair, but FFS.

[KC_Connection]

I actually wouldn't mind if they threw him out again because he clearly hasn't learned his lesson.
Are you serious? LMAO

[DJay23]

:facepalm:

That was a bit of a flop.

Looked pretty harmless from Embiid. ISU dude needs to not skip leg day if that kind of contact takes him down.

[Mr. Plow]

Joke flagrant 1 call there. It begins.

Definitely not a flagrant 1.

[Pablo]

Are you serious? LMAO
No shit.

[Mr. Laz]

Iowa state hip-checked Embiid first

[Ceej]

Are you serious? LMAO

Consider the source.

[TLO]

Momentum shift.

Dumb move by Embiid.

[KC_Connection]

Looked pretty harmless from Embiid. ISU dude needs to not skip leg day if that kind of contact takes him down.
There was nothing there.

[chiefsfan987]

Are you serious? LMAO

Totally serious. If he's dumb enough to not know that the cameras are going to catch everything you do he deserves to sit. You can't be throwing people to the floor and think that that's ok.

[Earthling]

Damn...

[Earthling]

GO KU!!

[Mr. Plow]

Wiggins for 3

[KC_Connection]

Totally serious. If he's dumb enough to not know that the cameras are going to catch everything you do he deserves to sit. You can't be throwing people to the floor and think that that's ok.
Dumb. Watch the game a little closer next time.

[Earthling]

sweet

[Mr. Plow]

Weakest doubles I've seen all year.

[chiefsfan987]

Dumb. Watch the game a little closer next time.

Dude, he threw him to the floor. It was a dirty play and there is no place in the game for that as far as I'm concerned.

[Ceej]

Dude, he threw him to the floor. It was a dirty play and there is no place in the game for that as far as I'm concerned.

A dirty play?

You probably enjoy flag football too.

GTFO.

[KC_Connection]

Dude, he threw him to the floor. It was a dirty play and there is no place in the game for that as far as I'm concerned.
There was nothing dirty about that play. Wouldn't have even been a foul without the crowd reaction.

[chiefsfan987]

A dirty play?

You probably enjoy flag football too.

GTFO.

Yeah. It was perfectly clean, that's why he got a flagrant foul. You homers are ****ing idiots. It was a dirty play and he got called on it.

[Ceej]

Yeah. It was perfectly clean, that's why he got a flagrant foul. You homers are ****ing idiots. It was a dirty play and he got called on it.

I just think that you're an idiot.

That's all there really is to it.

[saphojunkie]

Yeah. It was perfectly clean, that's why he got a flagrant foul. You homers are ****ing idiots. It was a dirty play and he got called on it.

But stepping into him and throwing the elbow?

Fuck off, dipshit.

[Earthling]

Dude, he threw him to the floor. It was a dirty play and there is no place in the game for that as far as I'm concerned.

LOL

[Mr. Plow]

Dude, he threw him to the floor. It was a dirty play and there is no place in the game for that as far as I'm concerned.


LMAO

[Bearcat]

So, it wasn't perfectly clean, yet it wasn't dirty. Only if there was something the refs could have called in that situation... some kind of middle ground between letting it go and throwing him out of the game.

[KC_Connection]

I might get Embiid back in this game, Bill.

[saphojunkie]

God this crowd is fucking retarded.

[Earthling]

Whew!

[Mr. Plow]

I might get Embiid back in this game, Bill.

Yup.

[Bearcat]

I like when they start to cheer, then boo.

[KC_Connection]

Boo

[Ceej]

God this crowd is ****ing retarded.

At least they don't live in Kansas.

[O.city]

Isu looks more athletic with this lineup

[KC_Connection]

God this crowd is ****ing retarded.
There's nothing like this crowd, I'll say that.

[Mr. Plow]

Wilson Toyota. lol

[O.city]

Out hustled

[Ceej]

Keep shooting the 3 ISU.

LMAO

[DJay23]

Boy we're building houses with this shooting.

[Mr. Christopher]

Would someone take the lid off the hoop?

[Mr. Plow]

Player out of control, draws foul.

[Earthling]

And he returns

[DJay23]

Player out of control, draws foul.

That is my biggest pet peave about how fouls are interpreted.

[TLO]

Back to back 3's

Feels like Ellis has missed a lot of shots.

[Earthling]

YES!

[Mr. Plow]

Back to 8.

[Mr. Plow]

That is my biggest pet peave about how fouls are interpreted.

Shouldn't reward an offensive player for being out of control.

[Earthling]

And 3 !

[TLO]

Tharpe on fire.

[Mr. Plow]

At least ISU got rid of that "Jack-a-3" offense.

[TLO]

YayBOOOOOOOOyay!

BTW I despise that Verizon commercial.

[Ceej]

Yeah.

This ISU team definitely doesn't rely on the three pointer.

[Ceej]

At least ISU got rid of that "Jack-a-3" offense.

Damn you.

[DJay23]

Shouldn't reward an offensive player for being out of control.

Exactly. Should be a no call unless you bowl a guy over.

[O.city]

Shouldn't reward an offensive player for being out of control.

I hate that about the new rules.

[Mr. Plow]

Yeah.

This ISU team definitely doesn't rely on the three pointer.


n00b

[Pablo]

Yeah.

This ISU team definitely doesn't rely on the three pointer.Not a bit.

Very well rounded.

LMAO

[O.city]

Yes they are shooting a fair amount of 3s, but they aren't missing a ton of contested ones. We need to guard better out there, they'll eventually start going down.

[Reerun_KC]

Any boos yet?

[Mr. Plow]

Any boos yet?

10 seconds in.

[KC_Connection]

Player out of control, draws foul.
Expect a lot more where that came from for ISU.

[Bearcat]

n00b

n0000000000000b

[TLO]

LOL.

Seriously?

[Earthling]

Hmmmm....

[KC_Connection]

Nice, touch fouls for free ISU points.

[Mr_Tomahawk]

boooooooooooooo

[Mr. Plow]

Damnit Frankamp.

[Mr. Plow]

Love how Frankamp passes up getting the ball into Embiid to get the ball back and jack up a guarded 3.

[Ceej]

Keep shooting the three, fatty.

[Mr. Christopher]

Eh

[Earthling]

Nice shot

[TLO]

Tharpe should keep shooting (for now)

[KC_Connection]

The crowd must have what it wants.

[Mr. Plow]

Love how Frankamp passes up getting the ball into Embiid to get the ball back and jack up a guarded 3.


He wasn't in long. Jacked that shot, Self pulled him.

[TLO]

Where's Rusty?

[O.city]

Wiggins needs to get stronger. He can't play thru contact yet

[Ceej]

The crowd must have what it wants.

Yeah. They weren't going to call that travel until the boooooooos.

[Shogun]

@KUTheShiver 5m

With 1 more point and 1 more rebounds - Andrew Wiggins will have a double double - and there is 6+ minutes left in the 1st half #kubball

[Ceej]

Where's Rusty?

Who cares?

[TLO]

Who cares?

Who doesn't?

[O.city]

Isu style lends very well to the new rule changes. Spread the floor, drive it get fouled

[Ceej]

Who doesn't?

Me! :D

[KC_Connection]

Yeah. They weren't going to call that travel until the boooooooos.
I'm not even sure it was a travel. Nonetheless, crowd gets what it wants.

[TLO]

Oh JFC...

Ticky tack fouls.

[DJay23]

Do they have a weight room at Iowa State?

[TLO]

:facepalm:

[Mr. Christopher]

Sure, the Jayhawks keep getting second chance shots...what do they do with them - give it away!

[KC_Connection]

That's because they would be down 15, Fran, if this was a neutral court game.

[Ceej]

No foul on Wiggins?

Hmm, okay.

[DJay23]

No foul on Wiggins?

Hmm, okay.

I'm ok with that kind of contact...as long as it's called consistently.

[TLO]

What a goofy looking crowd.

[Reerun_KC]

Hope we can survive this half without too mich damage by isu.

[KC_Connection]

No foul on Wiggins?

Hmm, okay.
Tackling is OK, just not touch fouls.

[Earthling]

Short lived lead...

[Mr. Christopher]

Coast to coast!

[Earthling]

Oh yeah

[TLO]

Look at Wiggins turn on the speed!

That was impressive.

[Ceej]

Great sequence right there.

[Mr. Plow]

[KC_Connection]

Wiggins is showing up on the road again. It's like he decided to grab every rebound tonight.

[TLO]

ISU gonna sink a 3 to end the half.

[Earthling]

Damn stupid turnover

[Mr. Christopher]

Big Smoke - you suck!

[TLO]

Well... saw that coming from a mile away.

:facepalm:

[Earthling]

Nice shot by Kain...Damnit

[Mr. Plow]

Good first half.

[Ceej]

Wish our guys could get to the line, lol.

[Reerun_KC]

Kane owns.

[KC_Connection]

Keep it close and maybe the refs will save us. LMAO

[Earthling]

Good time to refresh the drink and get rid of the old...

[Mr. Plow]

Keep it close and maybe the refs will save us. LMAO

LMAO

[Chiefs Pantalones]

We should be up by 20. Turnovers.

[Mr. Plow]

FYI, Jay Williams is an idiot.

[Al Bundy]

We should be up by 20. Turnovers.

That last one... jesus.

[O.city]

Messed a round and let them stay in it

[Reerun_KC]

If we want to win this game we cant let them hit 10+ threes in the second half. Oh and dont let the hobbled one kick your ass. He had a great 1st half on half a wheel.

[Braincase]

Keep it close and maybe the refs will save us. LMAO

Yeah... um, no. What was the differential? 8 fouls on us +1 flagrant one, 5 on them.

I really don't want to here ISU fans bitching about the calls on this one.

[Buehler445]

I told you fuckers Kain would play. That "sprain" was nothing. It was probably just his first one.

[KC_Connection]

Messed a round and let them stay in it
We're the underdog in this one.

[Buehler445]

Yeah... um, no. What was the differential? 8 fouls on us +1 flagrant one, 5 on them.

I really don't want to here ISU fans bitching about the calls on this one.

Yeah, there have been some missed ones, but the only one I really got mad about was when Wiggins drove in and Niang crashed into him and nothing.

[DJay23]

How long has it been since Wisconsin's gotten out of the first weekend of the tourney?

[Buehler445]

How long has it been since Wisconsin's gotten out of the first weekend of the tourney?

Don't watch that nonsense. It's not worth your time.

[O.city]

We're the underdog in this one.

Maybe before the game started. First half? Nah.

[Reerun_KC]

Girls high school basketball>big 10 basketball.

[O.city]

Turned it over too much

[DJay23]

Damn Naa is hot.

[Reerun_KC]

Booooooo

[Earthling]

Good way to start

[Pablo]

Wiggins is so fucking quick.

[A Salt Weapon]

That's how to start a second half.

[KC_Connection]

Bill Simmons said this draft had no franchise players last week. LMAO

[Bearcat]

Wiggins is so ****ing quick.

Unreal.

[DJay23]

Wiggins is so ****ing quick.

He's really pinning his ears back in transition.

[Buehler445]

Wiggins is so fucking quick.

Sick. Just sick.

[Reerun_KC]

Booooo

[Reerun_KC]

Isu fan strugglea with basketball concepts.

[Earthling]

Nice!!!!

[Buehler445]

He's really pinning his ears back in transition.

And getting right after it on the boards.

He must have listed to that n00b/mult in the KU thread. LOL

[Mr. Plow]

How is that a foul?

[DJay23]

Nonsense.

[KC_Connection]

That was more of a flagrant than the one Embiid got called for. LMAO

[Reerun_KC]

Wow. Isu player pushed him in mid air.

[Earthling]

Damn

[KC_Connection]

Hilarious calls they're coming up with on Embiid in this game.

[Buehler445]

Shouldn't have chucked that dude on the ground. Refs are pissed.

[Mr. Plow]

2 BS fouls on Embiid.

[Ceej]

ISU is so soft.
