*** #4 Kansas vs #14 IOWA STATE Game(day) Thread ***
- Thread starter CycloneRulzzz
- Start date
Great to hear/see all the KU meltdown this morning. What a spoiled fanbase when they have a coach that was won 11 straight conference titles and some want him to see him fired. Sorry KU fans, you can't win them all. You knew that at some point that all streaks come to an end and hopefully this is the year someone other than KU wins the Big 12.
I watched some Aussie Open until about 1:30 and still had a hard time once I went to bed. These 8:00 p.m. starts are rough.
West Virginia and ISU (heck even OSU!) have done their part now. OU and Baylor (and maybe KSU?) need to steal one at home against KU now. KU must be destroyed.
Governor Branstad was in the locker room after the win and Georges made him "do the dab", whatever the hell that is.

Kentucky fans may also be upset since aTm is winning and ISU tanked KU before their big match.

Georges was getting away with that move a lot earlier in the season but is a travel by the letter of the rule.
In Prohm's post game he mentioned one of the Ref's mentioned during the TCU game shuffleing of the feet is a new emphisis of the crews. Though he kind of back tracked saying it was a travel and was the right call, to not call out the Big 12 officiating (smart move by a 1st year coach). He also said they'll adjust practice adding some fundimental footwork drills to adjust. I guess we'll see a couple more games with Georges travels and then the refs will relax the call and George will adjust and the shuffling won't be an issue.
I noticed that Georges did a baseline move late in the game where he purposely put the ball on the floor before moving. They still couldn't stop him. It's just something he'll have to get used to.
I couldn't help but to browse at a few Jayhawk boards today to see what they are saying. One comment I just laughed when I read it. Perfect example of how spoiled their fanbase has got:
WOW!
Better fire Roy Williams at UNC too, they have lost 10 or more the past 3 seasons. Talk like that is just crazy, just imagine how upset that fan base would be if they made the NIT or missed the postseason all together just for 1 season. I know when you get all the top recruits every year and you have a winning tradition for as long as KU has you expect a Final 4 about every season but at some point there has to be at least 1 "mediocre" year in there once in awhile, even the other blueblood schools have had some years like that once in awhile.
This KU team maybe is a little different because it's best players aren't the 1 and done types they usually have but it's still a pretty damn good team regardless. They had to know that at some point the conference title streak would end and they technically aren't still out of it with 1/2 the season left to play.

An improvement I feel like is occurring from last year: when there was a weird call, like a travel or even bad foul call, last year's team seemed to get 'stuck' on that and never quite move on. That 'getting stuck' seemed to be present in a few of their weird losses, where it looked like the were still griping about in the huddle 10 game minutes later.
It's a few different players, so that may be a difference, but I feel like they're working through those situations better this year, and especially games like last night.
The traveling calls didn't stop Georges from still getting important buckets late, and some ticky-tack fouls didn't stop them from being aggressive enough to not let KU get any 3's off in those last two minutes, which is usually when I expect KU to hit a couple to pull within 2 or something.

The issue isn't really about whether or not Georges travels...he does, the issue is why don't they call it on anyone else? There are dozens of uncalled travel violations every game.
Iowa fans can't stand Iowa State being successful. There are some Cyclone fans that feel the same way about Iowa too
