Actually, KU-MU won't play this year. They went to the SEC! SEC! SEC!

Yep. Screen, screen, screen, pop a three when the d gets caught.

ISU played the game brilliantly. If not for McLemore going off, KU loses by double-digits tonight. Good thing they have Ben, eh? ��

Wow. What a shitty performance by the hawks.

Glad McLemore was there to pretty much be the team.

What's worrisome is that's 2 games where the effort and decision making has been poor.

Self said during the pregame that we came out and looked tired against Temple. Went on to say that if we don't come out with GREAT energy, we become awful average really quickly.

Dude was spot the **** on.

That's a pretty kickass statline. And we needed every bit of it. Nobody else did much of anything. EJ had some energy, but it didn't translate to much and he had some boneheaded decisions.

It's okay. KU's due for a John Wall type. McLemore is it. He's unstoppable at times, it's almost funny.

Yeah, a lot of websites have been writing about that possibility the last couple of weeks. Wings don't usually go #1 overall, but Ben is talented enough that he might just do it. He's probably a lock for top 3.

KC_Connection · 01-09-2013, 11:38 PM

Two lazy games by KU in a row that should have ended up as losses at home. Is it November again? Time to wake up.

Why must you ALWAYS be a wet blanket?

I mean, I get it. I understand the sentiment, because deep down, we're all a bit worried about that, too. But can we at least make it to midnight and enjoy the win a bit and a fantastic performance by a player who will only be around for 3 more months?

Oh, piss off. I'm the last person here anybody should be calling a wet blanket. I talk most of you guys off the ledge every year (remember last year when you unjustifiably called the team a #7 seed/borderline tournament team early in the season? That overreaction ring a bell?).

When KU plays well, I'll give them credit as I did for almost the entirety of their incredible month of December. When they play like shit with no real effort like they did against Temple and Iowa State at home, I'll call them on it. There is no real excuse to play these type of games when you're a team as good as KU can be (and is). They need to be better and I'm sure they will be. But outside of McLemore, they weren't tonight.

MeatRock · 01-10-2013, 12:09 AM

Nice win KU. Clutch shot to tie the game and force overtime. KU pulled away like they always do in the end.

MeatRock · 01-10-2013, 12:11 AM

ISU is going to be a tough out for any team in the B12.

I said that before the season started, not once I saw the team play. But yes, I was wildly wrong, and I'm okay with that. I own it. Also, I said they would be lucky to be an 8 seed, not 7

I'm just saying that it sucks when your first post in this thread tonight is basically saying "Wow, we suck right now," instead of "What a fantastic performance by McLemore."

There's plenty of time for "woe is us" tomorrow.

BTW, I don't dislike you at all. You're just harshing my mellow and it ****ing blows.

saphojunkie · 01-10-2013, 12:34 AM

That was the exact recipe for a KU loss. It always happens. We can't make a layup and some team comes in and destroys it from 3. Granted, usually it's some yahoo idiot white bench player that randomly hits 9 threes despite never having logged more than 6 minutes in a game before. This ISU team was designed for this type of play and they executed perfectly. It was really frustrating that they were able to essentially run the same set on that high wing and get an open look from 3 the whole game.

Just an incredible team performance by ISU. They seem to always play us really tough.

But sorry, cyclones. KU has that magical player this year. The guy that can play through the offense or just go out and get his points whenever he wants. I haven't seen a performance like that since Durant. 10-12 and 6-6 from 3? With the clutch buzzer beater and tough finishes in traffic.

Such a terrible, wonderful game. Really going to be a memorable one.

I bet it's fun as hell being Ben McLemore tonight. It's gonna suuuuuuuck being everyone else in the film room tomorrow.

RustShack · 01-10-2013, 12:47 AM

I hate how Iowa State has started off so slow last year and this year. Damn transfers just want to be stars and try doing too much before coming together.

Royce never should have went pro either!

Next year will be interesting with Niang continue to develop and a few stud guards coming I too!

Good game, I bet that guy didn't call the bank shot either. Heartbreaking but still encouraging.. Clyburn still isn't playing up to his potential either. In Ames might be a different story!
