ISU @ KU Postgame

Would like to think so. Our toughest 3 games (in theory) are over (KU, @KU, @WV). But these guys have laid some real eggs (see SC, TT). I don't get the same sense of toughness and resiliency as last year's squad. I don't think it's unrealistic to think we lose @OU, @UT, maybe also one of @OSU or @K-State. That's 6-3. Playing WV again (even in Hilton) will be like getting your wisdom teeth pulled and a bunch of cavities filled in the same visit.
Optimist in me sees a path to 9-0. Realist sees 6-3. Hopefully it's closer to 9-0!
Act? Call the game as it should be. A another missed opportunity where the team fails to learn from their mistakes.
Rip players? I haven't done that yet.
Productive? Please we are circle jerking ourselves here anyway.
Right, sometimes you lose to a great te on the road when they play well. It happens.
Not like we would have won with 8000 turnovers, but it doesn't help when you start behind the 8 ball every time you play Kansas
No travel...? Because Kansas

Not the end of the world. If ISU had won even one at Tech or at Baylor, and split with KU, we'd be in the thick of it and maybe wouldn't feel as down about it. Need multiple sweeps and Kansas needs to stub a toe somewhere, then who knows?
P.S.: I loathe losing to Kansas.

Hats off to ISU for the tough battle tonight. They fought to the end and were tough to finish off. That was an amazing game by Nianhg out there. He was very impressive. KU needed to severely improve their transition defense, hit more threes, drive to contact AND get better play from their backup bigs to pull off a win against ISU and they were able to accomplish all of these things tonight. That was a thrilling game to watch between two very good teams.
I was glad KU was able to force ISU into a lot more half court offense because they haven't been great in the half court in the road games I have watched them play. Niang's great play kept them in the game but KU was mostly able to keep the rest of the team under control and make everything hard for them.
KU had to shoot really well in a game where they were basically conceding the offensive glass and they pulled it off. Greene coming in and hitting those two big threes was huge to ignite KU in the first half. He is going to be a lethal sharpshooter as his career rolls along. Once again, hats off to ISU for an epic battle. The Big 12 looked strong tonight. No one is going to want to play either of those teams come tourney time.

Mobbed? You're joking right? This is big boy basketball. If they called that little amount of contact them McKay would have been fouled out after five minutes. Come on.
Um, at no point was ISU up by more than 7 and that was for a total of 34 seconds so maybe I missed when you had a chance to go up by "15 or so".
Uphill battle to win the league, but still think this team has the ability to get hot at the right time. Need to sure up some things defensively, but we have the capacity to be a very solid team.
I thought we got it up to 8 but I couldn't concentrate with all the BBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOs.
We're a solid team right now. 6-3 in the toughest conference and #11 in the nation. It's all getting a little hok football fan around here with this basketball season.
