*** Official #24 IOWA STATE VS #9 Kansas Game(Day) Thread ***

[Dandy]

Not a bad play there actually but Shayok needs to shoot immediately.

We could have won that. Damn.

 

[CyCloned]

Well that was an ugly end .

 

[Althetuna]

Free throws and that KU run was the difference.

 

[madguy30]

Man, Wigginton's late TO really hurt

Yeah he blamed TH for that...TH was plenty open where he was standing.

 

[tyler24]

Wigginton did it. He played like he's never played at the phog before.

 

[BryceC]

Honestly great game where we didn’t take full advantage of our opportunities. Sucks but dang this team has some nuts and I’m so Looking forward to the end of the year.

 

[sheepplucker]

People acting as if Wigginton was the difference that lost the game... no it was Jacobson with no presence in the paint..

 

[sadam]

Meh they can have this one, I’ll take the win In Big 12 champship.

 

[Blandboy]

d it up

FT's and not playing Conditt really cost us this game.

It's always FT's with this team though. Unreal.

uh, they are leading the conference in FT percentage

 

[AuH2O]

Because they're both really capable of doing great things perhaps? Lard had a tough night, it happens and Self knew how to get at him.

Wiggs is why ISU is within 4 right now.

Down 4 instead of up 8? He made some great passes in the first half but to say he struggled is putting it mildly.

 

[isutrevman]

Played well enough to win. That 10 min. stretch in the 2nd half we just lost our heads offensively and stopped moving the ball around. Other than that, great effort to eventually stop the bleeding and gave themselves a chance at the end.

 

[madguy30]

On an intentional foul? Don’t know why that’d deter you from playing him. There was 3 minutes left lol.

Because KU would go right at him and he'd likely pick up a 5th foul.

Um, lol.

 

[cyclo120]

This loss stings because of the Baylor and Kansas State losses.

 

[clones8232]

Our guys showed a lot of grit. Disappointing loss but a long season. Proud to be a clone tonight.

 

[jdoggivjc]

Not a bad play there actually but Shayok needs to shoot immediately.

We could have won that. Damn.

The problem with shooting immediately is he has to try and draw the foul, and the opportunity wasn't necessarily there immediately. The fact the KU defender even challenged him at all was completely foolish.

 

[CycloneErik]

Just one run made the difference.
Impressed that our guys collected themselves after that run. We've all seen teams get destroyed often when that KU run happens there.

 

[Scott34]

So why not play Conditt?

 

[CycloneJoe]

Kansas is not that good we will beat them in KC if we play them!

 

[Cat Stevens]

You could say the same about Jacobson.

Jacobson shoots 21% from 3?

 

[CentexCyclone]

Well that's a bummer. Can't give up a 14-0 run to KU and expect to win. And and of game execution was not great.
