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

[trevn]

Disappointed in the result but not in the effort. These guys turned a corner a week ago and it shows.

Isn’t it fun looking forward to NCAA Tournament matchups? Best time of the year and so glad TJ has us back here regularly.

Hop aboard

dude needs more run. Great minutes tonight

Dude was really elevating and reaching back for some rebounds.

 

[awd4cy]

Please no Drake

 

[Malone]

Does this mean your thoughts are pea brained too?

Perhaps. And I’m good with that

 

[BigLame]

They out-willed us & were definitely the better team tonight. Tip the cap & move on.
Have our guys work shooting the ball off the white square of the board when inside instead of throwing the ball up there wishing for a foul & for it to go in.

We dominated KU once this year, and barely lost at KU. If people refuse to believe we couldn’t have beat KU tonight…. I have nothing for you I guess.

I believe we didn’t play nearly up to our ability, and it wasn’t all because of KU.

Perfection isn’t achievable.

agreed. once we caught up in the 2nd half, we completely let KU determine the speed and style of the game from there on out. part of that was a lack of focus and purpose, part of that was because KU was just so aggressive on steals and made us rush.

 

[CloniesForLife]

Not our crispest game but we played hard. I thought KU played great defense and played well overall. That's tough for us when they play that well. Rest up and get ready for the NCAAs

 

[JP4CY]

Perhaps. And I’m good with that

I think we could make some shirts. I'd wear one.

 

[Malone]

We’re a 5 seed and there’s little doubt about it. So it’s Drake, Charleston, Oral Roberts or unknown.

 

[CloniesForLife]

Perfection isn’t achievable.

Too many fans think the game is played in a vacuum. We play another team when we play and that team played really well tonight

I'd recommend seeing what happened with KU after they lost to ISU in Ames.

Fortunately, and unfortunately, what's happening one week or month or day in basketball can be totally different than other times.

KU would have a very good chance to beat anyone in the country right now. ISU's a potential tourney game or two winner with the right match up.

Man.....I wanted those guys to get another day in KC. So in that way it is a huge bummer.

But....I was curious how we would fair against a team not named 'Baylor' and overall I thought we were solid. The comeback was good to see.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Met up with the A game of the #1 overall seed, with our B game.

ON TO MARCH MADNESS!!!

Tournaments are hard, they matched our effort for the most part and are an overall 1 seed.

To be fair, we weren't really not in the tournament regularly. We only missed 2 years.

So you don’t believe ISU can beat KU?

Oh wait….. you’re the closet Hawk fan aren’t you? Of course you don’t.

Bring back Prohm.

 

[ianoconnor]

Can't really ask for a better challenge going into the tourney having played Baylor and KU. These guys will be ready to go.

 

[helechopper]

We could have used good Grill tonight, another sniper besides Gabe.

All credit to KU, their length and defense.
