*** Official IOWA STATE vs #3 Kansas Game(Day) Thread ***

[Cardinal2001]

make those close ones and were in it. just too many of them

 

[Malone]

As much as this stinks, hard to believe Charleston or Oral Roberts can defend the way Kansas does. Feel confident in a R32. And if it’s Xaver round 2, another sweet 16.

 

[CYDJ]

He got 3 EFFING STEPS, Fran!!!

Kansas is allowed 3 steps, maybe 4 if they are really working the refs.

Hope you’re right. Likely going to have to score more…not going to win many games in the 50s.

Get the right match up they might.

 

[ISUTex]

Turns out a good team can make you look bad sometimes

eh. ISU missed a lot of good looks and fumbled the ball around a lot tonight. ISU just didn't play their best. Yes, KU had something to do with it, but ISU can play better than this against KU. Oh well.

Kansas has had a lot to do with our scoring. Let's not pretend this was all because of what ISU is and is not doing. Let's give the opponent some respect.

Grady reminds me more of Carmelo Anthony in college.

I don’t see it. Melo was the king of isos. No one could guard him straight up. Grady isn’t that.

Probably wanna avoid Oral Roberts at all costs. They've got the tools to beat us.

 

[Thomasrickj]

Jesus you folks don't think a locked in KU team has anything to do with our game being off?


I did say though that we can't beat anyone but Baylor though.

This has been a winnable game. Too many dumb turnovers and chucking up horrible shots is why we are down by 10 instead of it being much closer right now. We had our chances tonight and made some bad plays to dig ourselves into this hole.

 

[CYDJ]

Can't wait to see this team in the Big Dance.

I hope we draw Baylor in the first, second, third, and fourth rounds.

It's hard to beat a team 4,5,6 and 7 times in a season.

 

[helechopper]

We’ll, at least selection Sunday is in 2 days, so we have that to look forward to.

Won two NCAA tournament games last year in the 50s.

Probably wanna avoid Anal Roberts at all costs. They've got the tools to beat us.

FIFY

Svi! good to see you!

Anybody see that call against Jones, at the 5 min. mark or so? They called him for a moving screen? Then a 3 was made but waived off. That was a huge swing moment. They didn't show it or comment on it.

I'm not saying they've played great but the doom came back too soon for my taste.

 

[Malone]

They’re a worse K-State.

 

[FerShizzle]

Not sure why we are fouling here? Play D.

 

[madguy30]

I don’t see it. Melo was the king of isos. No one could guard him straight up. Grady isn’t that.

More thinking of when Melo made the run through the tourney in '03 and it didn't seem to matter where he was shooting from; it was good.

 

[clonedude]

KU's had a ton to do with it.

ISU gets run out of the building with how they looked two weeks ago.

We also win if we played like yesterday.

We could have beat KU tonight…. I believe that.
