In all fairness to Rust, Iowa State is a ranked team with good players and a damn good coach. That must be said. I was quite impressed they hung in there last night as well as they did given how big a hole we put them into early. When they tied it first play after half I was really surprised. When they cut it to 2 with a few min to go I was really surprised.
Frankly it's gotten boring running roughshod through the league. I know that's just heresy for a KU alum to say that but it's true. I look forward to the non-con and the NCAA Tourney more than the league play and it wasn't always like that. I didn't enjoy the Ted Owens days but the Larry Brown days were damn fun. We've killed the enjoyment of college basketball for our whole region.
About all that gives me solace is the fact that it's my team that wins. It keeps idiots from other fanbases (which are the rule rather than the exception) from talking shit like they do during football season.
