[RobertsFranklin]

Question: Toughest place to play?

Answer: Iowa State

Q: Toughest person to guard?

A: Georges Niang

Q: Best game you've played?

A: Iowa State my freshmen year.

Out of 5 questions ISU was involved in 3. First question was favorite musician. 2nd was funniest teammate.

6 questions
What does Self say every day in practice?
I'm going to blow a gasket

But I thought that was pretty telling too. Combined with the booing this morning, ISU definitely has KU's attention.

I think this is the year they get a win down in "just another gym".

 

[UraMallas]

Yep. They have been a lot of fun to watch. I'll miss that match up next year, for sure. One (maybe two) more!

 

[Jiub]

Kansas is a good team and I have a lot of respect fortheir program. Iowa State should strive to be like them.

I assume he was talking about the big 12 tournament his freshman year. Dude killed us.

I wonder which game his freshman year? The banked 3 game or the robbery? Interesting he pick that as his favorite game.

 

[Jiub]

When Kansas and their star player says Iowa State or so to that many questions it tells me we as an Iowa State team are gaining momentum

He has generally had good games against us. I am becoming a big Ellis fan, but I hope he sucks when we travel to play in that barn on the prairie.

The past 5 years there have been some really good KU-ISU matchups, albeit some painful losses.

Big 12 tourney game...

 

[guacamole7]

the question was favorite game, not best game

 

[jsb]

The thing that I love about this is that at some point tuco will hear what he said. And then he'll be left sputtering and talking about how Iowa State doesn't matter.

What I think this proves is that the Kansas players (or at least Ellis) think that Iowa State is a rival of theirs.

 

[allday4cy]

I like Perry Ellis when he isn't play us. Seems like a good dude and has respect for ISU.

 

[urb1]

I thought he also asked the toughest place to play. "Iowa State." Nice to get the recognition.

He was much better in the 90's.

He was much better in the 90's.

His double hip replacement really took away some athletic ability.

His double hip replacement really took away some athletic ability.

I know you are joking, but he is much more athletic than when he was a freshman. Impressive, really. KU guys generally get noticeably bigger and stronger.

 

[acgclone]

Ellis and Niang have had some battles

Umm..

I want three more. Lawrence, Kansas City, and Houston.

I'd settle for two with KU watching KC Takeover 3.0 from Lawrence.
