Self had a lot of really good things about TJ and ISU at his most recent press conference.
Said ISU is probably the most connected team on defense they will have played this year. Says he hopes he can get his team this year to the level ISU and Houston are at on defense because they are both on another level defensively then the rest of the conference.
Said the first word that comes to mind when watching this team is tough and that it’s because they have taken on the personality of TJ and Lipsey.
Said Lipsey and Gilbert are not only good defensively but maybe the best rebounding guards in the conference.
Said they were lucky to score 53 in Ames last year.
You can tell he really does respect us...high praise.

He's right.

Selfs no dummy.

This guy is very logical and complimentary.

And he's great at getting players in foul trouble early with various sets/movement so ISU will need to watch it today.

I know KU gets the favorable calls but Self really is elite at those sorts of nuances in a game, along with the 'need a bucket to stop the bleeding' type of situations.

Cincinnati got Dickinson in foult trouble and limited him to 10 points. Maybe the Cyclone 2-headed beast of Rob/Ward can do the same. Then, holding Furphy in check will be critical. He's never been in an environment like Hilton.
70-62 Cyclones.

ISU 67
KU - 66

Kansas has the ball last and the chance to win it. The shot rims in and out. Ward secures the rebound as time expires. Multiple Cyclone fans head to the hospital for suspected heart attacks because of that last shot.
