What a show of toughness. Punched in the mouth, punched back!

 

[kentkel]

Was it then that they put Heise on Jones? That really slowed them down.

Just was going to comment on this. My defensive player of the game was Heise! In fact, without him, we may not have gotten out of that rut when we were tied at 61. That said, Marquette is an impressive team & will be a tough out if we meet them in the Tourney!

Big 12 may be having a down year at the right time for us.

By “down year,” I mean possibly only the 2nd best conference and maybe only 9 tourney teams.

KU's getting steamrolled by Creighton

#1 Kansas vs #2 Iowa State at Hilton is gonna hit so hard on January 15.

KU needs to step it up against Creighton if thats going to happen.

Right! After Heise hit his 3, we were a mess the rest of the way.
Great win and hopefully we learn from the 2nd half bad stints.

I wouldn't say the rest of the way. There was a tough trend there but Marquette was playing with house money.

ISU closing that out is very impressive.

 

[cyclones500]

Got a little nervous-y during the Marquette surge, but way to close it!

 

[Die4Cy]

I'd give at least 1/3 of the gameball to Heise

The flat game ball will do I guess.

 

[cayin]

great win, I wanted to beat them with Ross in the game. But even when he was in, we were beating them. We are really good guys. Just have to get Lipsey healthy somehow and nothing can stop us.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

I never really felt we would lose this game even when MU tied it. Just felt we were always in control

Yeah, still strong, just not a gauntlet which is fine.

ISU right now is showing they can compete on a high level.

Gilbert is a Rottweiler possessed. Rip their heads off mentality. KILL.

 

[fsanford]

We are the only big 12 win in this challenge so far. Yeesh.

Big 12 may be a bit down this year. Perhaps not a bad thing

 

[jdoggivjc]

this is quickly turning into one of the best ISU teams i've seen.

 

[Cupped]

Kansas, Auburn: upset alerts galore in top 5 tonight and this week! We may be top 2 or 3 when the smoke clears.

and Kentucky and Marquette have already gone down

 

[NENick]

I hope the "Heise sucks! Shouldn't play" posts will decrease now. Had an excellent game. Did a great job on Jones late.

We take care of business last week and win that tourney and we’d be #1 next week (if Kansas loses)
