Sorry if already posted, but you can watch the post game interviews on the Cyclone TV app for free an hour or so after the game. I watch them on the app on Roku and I don't have a subscription. For home games they even have the opposing coaches interviews.

They're on Youtube.

Ward the best rim protector since Cato? I know McKay was pretty darn good as well. Ward is playing at an incredibly high level right now.

I like Ward's overall game better than both and I'm one who feels spoiled to have watch Cato play.

It felt like they were going to score on every possession, and for a while, they were. Then TJ got a TO, we forced them into a bad 3 and got the rebound, then Hasan with the huge block. Those 2 stops were as big as anything in getting the win.

Today, yes. Specifically with him putting Rob in once we got up 9. Ward was killing it, and we got back up 9 with him on the floor. Then you take him out with TWO minutes left in the game, when KU was taking advantage with Rob on the floor the entire second half? Not smart.

This isn't as much about Rob as it is about Ward and the matchup. Ward is better at guarding Dickinson than Ward and vastly superior at rotating and closing out.
i am so tired of your rants about BRE. Why don't you go talk to TJ and tell him how he does not know how to coach.

Dayton, Baylor, Auburn, and Oklahoma ranked higher than ISU and all catch losses.

What’s this teams realistic ranking come Monday?
Losses earlier in week and today include: #21 BYU, #6 Kentucky, #11 Oklahoma (lost twice this week), #8 Auburn (lost twice this week), #10 Illinois, #9 Arizona, #7 Kansas, #15 Baylor, #16 Dayton.

Iowa State is currently #12 in KenPom. Im going to guess their AP ranking on Monday is #13.

Win the next two @Baylor and @texas I think we can start discussing Big 12 title. Huge couple games coming up.

Ward playing with this nasty a$$ mean streak as well. I always thought he was this quiet, soft-spoken guy. Not to say you can't be a nice kid and flip the switch between the lines. This dude is playing like he knows he is the baddest MF out there on the court though and I freaking love it!

We are a lot better when Ward is in the floor, he changes everything. Really unique player.

Thought Kansas really fought hard, I wouldn't count them out in March, they will get better.
I think it is advantageous that Ward and BRE bring such different dynamics. Ward is definitely about the big moments, but Big Rob is just a workhorse. Keeps opponents on edge

Rothstein will still have them out of the top 25

Okay Rulzzz, no recording the rest of the year. Do your part. I am doing mine. I haven’t changed my underwear no matter how much my wife complains.
I never need to record because games are always available for replay on espn.

I only wanted to record this was strictly because first time on CBS regular season in over 20 years with the A broadcast team.

Did I read correctly that KU has ONE field goal from their bench in the past two games. If Im correct that was the alley oop dunk today to Braun?

For years on end does it not seem like KU has had the following off the bench 1.) Electric shot blocker 2.) Instant offense scorer capable of dropping 20 every time out 3.) Ridiculous athlete who knows his role and grabs offensive boards which turn into critical second chance buckets and elite defensively. Well dont look now but that is our bench this year.

While winning 2 games next week would be amazing, the goal is to go 1-1 and be 6-3 next time the team plays in Hilton.
