*** Official #8 IOWA STATE vs #16 Kansas Game(Day) Thread ***

[alarson]

That's just an over reaction by the ap voters. The last week was very tough but we are better than number 8 and will prove it by winning the next 5 starting tonight.

I mean, I don't necessarily think it is much of an overreaction:

Kenpom:7
Torvik:10
NET:7
BPI: 7
SOR: 7
WAB:10

Should be clear to have ISU tip close to actual schedule time.

Yes I've seen the power ratings and the poll is in line with those so poor choice of words by me but the numbers will all change when they matter most because this team is too legit to quit!

 

[PizzaTheHutt]

There’s lots of basketball left to play. Win or lose I just want to see some fight. The team will get to where they need to be, there is still so much in front of them.

 

[JM4CY]

Well… here goes nothing.

No prediction from me tonight. Last game overall performance was so bad and so uncharacteristic in my opinion. But, that result has pretty much crushed my usual optimism. I just hope the Cyclones look like they are all giving their best effort and are all focused on winning. Shoot when open and pass out if being triple teamed in the lane. Take care of the ball and make free throws!!! Sorry for being captain obvious here on what it will take to get a W. I do trust in TJ to get the team straightened out, but I needed to vent.

I've listened to Big Sean "Bounce Back" like all day...

LFG Clones!

Whaaaaaaat? a game that starts on time? On ESPN?

 

[JM4CY]

This is going to go either really really good, or really really bad.

Virginia takes the air out the ball and runs a lot of clock

 

[Walden4Prez]

Agreed,
Don’t see any in between here.

ESPN even had time, before ISU's official start time:

(1) Brief promo of CUSA game on Deuce.
(2) Go to studio for a few minutes of yada-yada, including several minutes of ISU-KU.

 

[Die4Cy]

That was awkward

 

[Cyburbbalz]

Gilbert needs to have a big game tonight but he cannot turn it over 6 times while trying to do too much!!

 

[Roseclone07]

Woof didn’t realize how terrible those lavender uniforms were on tv

 

[simply1]

Fun to see Heise not being guarded

 

[Walden4Prez]

The spacing isn’t all about Milan being out, we get in our own way more often than not.

 

[HoustonClone]

ESPN doing an accurate job of describing our current offensive issues. So, we know this, so let's do something about it. Extra passes, no driving into double and triple teams, and Heise and Watson need to hit some outside shots.

 

[Walden4Prez]

Best crew in the biz right here….
