it's nice to see the Phog forum having a mini-meltdown.

I hope we 20 point them. With a dunk at the end for emphasis...by Burton...windmill...over Diallo

There's about ten lunatics over there who have gone completely off their meds who have basically taken over every thread and turned the whole site into an insane asylum. Most of the reasonable posters have simply abandoned ship and stopped posting over there until things settle down. Diallo getting a DNP has the Chicken Littles of our fan base frothing at the mouth. That site is tough to deal with as a KU fan even during good times; it's unbearable now.

It's going to be a great game, it has for the past 5 years. There has been some good "hate" between the fan-bases because, well, ISU has been the team that has actually been a threat. That, and stupid "Misery" left the conference, so KUers focused their attention to ISU after some really memorable games the past couple of years.

Here's to KU shooting poorly all night, and ISU capitalizes in an always raucous environment when these two get together.

GO CYCLONES! Beat KU!

Saw that ISU is now up to a respectable 73 in defensive efficiency on Ken Pom. If that trend continues they will win again tonight.

They looked better without him in. Lucas is limited but he at least knows what to do. I think Bragg is the one that needs to see more time. He is the best combo of offense and defense besides Ellis. Teams just double Ellis constantly when Lucas is in bc he's not going to shoot a jumper.

The problem with that is that Bragg really isn't equipped to guard a 5 at this point, which means you'd have to either have Perry guard the 5 (dumb) or have Perry off the floor and Perry has easily been KU's best player this year. He's trying but he's thin and jcan just be flat out over matched down there sometimes. Bragg is being prepped to be Ellis' replacement for next year and was never seen as a player that should be out in the starting five next to Ellis. That's just not his game. He'll spend some spot minutes in that spot against a thinner guy, possibly tonight versus fellow string bean McKay. We'll see how it all plays out.

Maybe their biggest struggles have been their guards. They have really struggled on both ends the past several games but looked maybe like they were getting things back on track against Texas. I imagine Self is going to stick with the shorter rotation for now

Their defense was just terrible against Oklahoma State. Mason hasn't really impressed me much this year and Graham is a PG playing the 2. I would think Mason would play better as the season goes on

I'm feeling good about tonight. If we can beat Kansas tonight and TAMU on Saturday then we belong back in the top five. This is a good week to prove where exactly we belong.

I always wonder how the players keep their cool in a rivalry game with stakes like this on the table.

As a fan, I'll be a total lunatic.
