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

[jsb]

Bring back Prohm.

Obviously not. But when you look at the long drought we had under McDermott. Or the long droughts other teams have had, ours was brief but brutal.

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.

Wut?

 

[madguy30]

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

Maybe we should just have one game seasons.

Let the one game define you and accept it.

 

[clonedude]

This Jalen Wilson is a very impressive well spoken kid. Hard not to like.

 

[SoleCyclone]

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

ON TO MARCH MADNESS!!!

22 turnovers is our B game? Yikes

As frustrated and pissy I’ve been for the downside portion of this season, we are not a particularly talented team and that needs to be a realization for the fan base.

I still feel this team is a sweet 16 caliber team (as long as we don’t get UCONN in r32). When Rob Jones is your best big, and Shoon is the prize of your portal recruiting class, we have over-achieved.

I’m willing to accept season two from TJ while looking forward to season three.

Bigs struggled with turnovers. We average about 13 turnovers a game and tonight Osun, King, Ward and Jones had 10. The last 2 games against Baylor they were dominate in the paint. Tonight, they were off.

 

[helechopper]

I see where you are coming from but I’m not sure I can say the same thing

I hear ya.

Let me rephrase that then…

I want someone from the Big12 to win the natty. Especially since we’re going all in as a conference In basketball.

If we put it up to the forum to vote who the closet hawk fan was between you two, im pretty sure i know who would lose that

 

[Inthesystem]

We really could use Kunc getting back to himself.

Yeah that's it. JFC.

I believe ISU can beat KU if Wilson's not having a lottery pick kind of night and Grady misses a bunch and ISU can get some space on offense.

That didn't happen tonight...so...

I can’t believe how many people are so down on this team. Crazy.

Willing to accept? That’s a little much. TJ has done an amazing job this year.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

Not the end of the world. Let’s see where we seed sunday

Glad you’re willing to accept a chance at another sweet sixteen. Good lord.

 

[CoKane]

Didn't play well enough to win. Sucks. On to selection sunday

I get the feeling you'll be posting more today than you did yesterday

 

[ClonerJams]

I'd almost prefer a 6 seed and get someone like Penn State instead of the 5 and get Charleston.

 

[CloniesForLife]

We beat a 2 seed on a neutral site and hung fairly close to a 1 seed while not playing particularly well. I still like our chances at a Sweet 16

Not everything is just bad luck. In Ames, we played well enough that those guys didn't make those shots. We were a bit slow and off tonight. It wasn't a bad performance at all. But in order to beat Kansas WE needed to be better and stop Wilson from 'having a lottery pick' kind of night. I do think this is the kind of game where we probably missed good Caleb a bit.

What I liked about tonight was that we still looked fairly sharp. We didn't get that deer in the headlights look that we had for most of February. And we didn't freeze up when we got down by 8 in the first half. It was really good to see that this turnaround wasn't limited to Baylor.
