I thought it was strange how little Talley played at KU, he was healthy iirc. He is a perfect matchup for SVI or Newman (who torched Lard last game). With NWB, it set up perfect defensively without him, we'll still have Lard and Young guarding a mismatch. The good news is, Svi will either have to guard one of our bigs or KU plays big with LIghtfoot.
Also, a career 8 ppg scorer could go off for 40. You never know.
Was that his first or second game back from his injury? In that context it kind of makes sense. With the rust and lack of conditioning he might have only been an emergency option for Prohm at that point.
Don't forget the unguarded eff you dunk from the KU player at the very end with the game in hand to add 2 more points to the final insult.
I want to see this again, please. Kansas must be destroyed!
He played 25 minutes three nights before at Ok St. Only 8 minutes against KU, then no minutes against Baylor. I’m guessing Hines or someone asked after the game in Lawrence.
Could well have had some soreness and got his minutes dialed back to help recovery.
I tend to forgot how it was a double-digit game. I had to check to verify — down 14 at halftime (52-38). Even early in the 2nd, I thought it was a couple of possessions from turning into a familiar rout at Phog. ISU made plays here & there and snipped away at the deficit. 11 points, then 9, then 7. . etc.
NWB is suiting up tonight. I hope we don’t need him, but if Prohm is letting him dress he could help prevent a situation like before half against OU.
Just watched the smarmy John Sears covering the game on channel 13. Standing in front of the student section wearing his little black and gold tie. Boy he is clever. Barf.
