Why are you whining about UC being called for 1 foul the entire half when KU has only been called for 2?

cmh6476 01-11-2025 01:41 PM

I love how teams just don't foul us

Because KU has been hit under the basket in the air a half dozen times with not a single call. This style of reffing favors UC.

KC_Connection 01-11-2025 01:43 PM

KJ doesn’t have a single rebound, I still haven’t figured out yet how he’s so bad at that

KC_Connection 01-11-2025 02:04 PM

Can someone on our team hit an open 3

Pablo 01-11-2025 02:04 PM

Oh man, got busy doing stuff around the house and forgot about this gem being on at 1.

Looks like I've missed some offensive mastery from both squads thus far.

GabyKeepsMeWarm 01-11-2025 02:09 PM

Good god... how many bunnies and open looks are we gonna miss? This is brutal...

George Liquor 01-11-2025 02:10 PM

This is how this team is gonna have to win games as long as KJ is starting them. They’re purely a defensive team if he’s out there.

smithandrew051 01-11-2025 02:14 PM

1 foul in nearly 30 minutes.

I can’t remember seeing that before.

KC_Connection 01-11-2025 02:14 PM

1 foul called on Cinci now in 28 minutes of action, incredible

KC_Connection 01-11-2025 02:16 PM

Cinci had 18 fouls against Arizona last weekend, it’s a mystery how they’ve gotten so disciplined since then

And I've seen several times where a KU player was held while trying to drive past a defender yet no call.
I mean, I like fewer calls but this is ridiculous. At least they're starting to call some now that it's getting late. Smdh

Harris
Moore
Zeke

Griffen
Flory
Storr

We don’t need to be playing Diggy anymore now with Moore being so effective

I don’t think the ball should leave his hand unless his hand is touching the rim at the time.

Moore is good

SithCeNtZ 01-11-2025 02:34 PM

This team loves breaking records. I have to believe this will be the largest margin of victory scoring less than 60 points(maybe 50) in KU history.

Moore has changed their identity into a hard defensive team

True, under the rim shots are a 50/50 proposition for him at best

Ha, maybe. Gotta remember there were probably some ugly, ugly games pre-shotclock that had similar scores.

Pablo 01-11-2025 02:42 PM

600 for Bill is ugly as sin but a WIN IS A WIN!

Always better to win these piles of shit than lose them.

KC_Connection 01-11-2025 02:44 PM

This team has been in the conversation for the best defensive team in the country with Moore out there, they seem to be buying into that identity

Didn't we lose to a very bad TCU team about ten years ago something like 43-40? I remember Bill had some pretty choice quotes after that one...

A team that plays lockdown defense just needs someone to go off offensively each game with Dickinson’s consistency.

Let’s say Mayo or Griffen gets hot from 3 and Dickinson has a typical 20-12-2-2-2 game like he does.

That’ll pretty much always equal a win.

That could have been a complete blowout if we even hit a quarter of our open threes too, we were getting pretty good shots most of the 2nd half and missed them all. It was a really well played game in the final 3/4 of it.

KC_Connection 01-11-2025 02:57 PM

Up to the 4th best defensive rating in the country after that game, closing in fast on Houston, Tenn and Duke.

It’s the 2nd best it has been since the Withey years (with the 2020 NC year being the lone exception)

GabyKeepsMeWarm 01-11-2025 03:02 PM

I think we can all agree, that while today's win was ugly, the most important thing was the win, and what it will likely do to Lunardi's bracketology. Gotta be a 2 seed at this point, right?

2-21 with 3's. You really have to work hard to be that bad.

BWillie 01-11-2025 03:08 PM

We just won a game by like 14, on the road, in the Big 12 and we went 2 for 21 from 3.

I think we just need to embrace this is a defensive team and pray Mayo and Griffen make enough threes in games that matter.

Bench Storr permanently.

🏟️ Hilton Coliseum

📺 6:00pm CT on ESPN2

💰Current Line: Kansas as a 5.5 point underdog (11:45am CT)

This story is free to read. Copy and paste this link to share with other KU fans you know. New readers can join here for free.

Quick Look: Iowa State
Iowa State (No. 4 Kenpom) brings an elite two-way attack, ranking 8th in offense and 10th in defense

Its one loss this year was a 2-point loss to Auburn in Maui

Led by three excellent guards in Keshon Gilbert, Curtis Jones, and Tamin Lipsey

Elite in forcing turnovers and taking care of the ball themselves (No. 8 in turnover margin)

Plays fast (No. 22 in possession length)

Doesn’t rely on the three ball (No. 311 in % of points from three)

Three Keys for KU-Iowa State
1. KU’s Muck it Up Revolution
The most obvious shift in KU’s recent surge is on the defensive side of the ball. You know that.

The less obvious change: The overall identity shift that keys a high-energy attack to steal extra possessions and get high percentage looks.

Just look at the recent change in KU’s offensive rebounding.

First 12 games:

No. 227 in offensive rebounding %

No. 241 in 2nd chance points (9.8 per game)

Last 3 games:

No. 12 in offensive rebounding %

No. 1 in 2nd chance points per game (18.0 per game; largely vs. UCF)

It may not be pretty (you have to miss a lot of shots to score 18 second-chance points per game) but it can work. The plenty-ugly, all-effort style is how KU will get the most out of players like Dajuan Harris and KJ Adams.

And that’s exactly who led the change.


via CBBAnalytics.com

This transformation could be crucial tonight. Iowa State ranks No. 310 in defensive rebounding % in conference play – a rare weakness KU must exploit.

Those few extra points could be the difference.

2. Win the Rim
Iowa State excels at forcing mid-range jumpers – exactly what derails KU's offense. The numbers tell the story:

In KU’s 12 wins:

No. 32 in shots at the rim

No. 34 in rim FG%

No. 211 in shots in the paint, but not at the rim

No. 120 in making those shots

In KU’s 3 losses:

No. 265 in shots at the rim

No. 272 in rim FG%

No. 15 in attempts in the paint, but not at the rim

No. 361 in making those shots

The good news? Iowa State struggles to protect the rim when teams get there.

KU must play with energy, swinging the ball from side-to-side. It can’t stick in one place.

Otherwise, you’re playing right into Iowa State’s hands.

3. Do not allow a “Kill Shot”
A “kill shot” is a scoring run of 10-0 or more for one team, coined by data scientist Evan Miya.

A team with a 10-0 run wins 71% of the time.

A team with more kill shots than its opponents wins 81% of the time.

Iowa State ranks third nationally in kill shots.

At the same time, KU hasn’t allowed many runs. Its given up the second-fewest kill shots.

Want to avoid dealing with Hilton Magic? Keep Iowa State’s "kill shot count to zero.

🔮 Prediction
KU’s didn’t show up in its two road games in top-tier environments earlier this year (Creighton and Missouri).

I like the front-court matchup for the Jayhawks (if KJ Adams doesn’t force midrange jumpers). And KU’s defensive guard play can make life difficult for Iowa State.

But I’d like to see KU show up for a complete 40 minutes in the most difficult road games before taking them.

Iowa State 73, Kansas 66

NOTE: There is an injury rumor developing about Iowa State wing Milan Momcilovic (see thebetting section below). He shoots 48.3% from three at home and his absence would take stress off KU’s defense.

Just not sure how to feel about this game. Guess it all depends on which KU team shows up.

Having to play half of this half without Dickinson due to that horseshit call is incredibly crippling to our offense

They just don't have enough offense if Hunter isnt scoring a bunch. We can't win every game 62-55.
