*** Official #24 IOWA STATE VS #9 Kansas Game(Day) Thread ***

[BWRhasnoAC]

We’d be the underdog even if we were ranked higher. Nobody expects teams to win at Phog Allen. They are due for a loss though so hopefully that is tonight!

I expect to win in Phog Allen.

I agree. I’m not nervous for this game at all. Nobody expects anyone to win at Phog Allen. Ranked or unranked my views on this game don’t change. That being said, it isn’t the greatest week to enter the rankings though if you were wanting it to last. Very tough week of games.

Rankings really don't matter. Polls are too touchy when it comes to ups and downs, and often don't make any sense because people are just raising or dropping teams based on short term results.

It's the resume that matters. In resume terms, losses this week do little harm. Wins are big resume gains.

Hope we get to see the start of the game

Leaving KC for Lawrence. See you there!

Kansas is going to come out really come after Iowa State. Their crowd will be ready too.

How Iowa State responds to getting punched in the mouth will tell if this game will be there for the taking and the end

I'm feeling OT... and I'm not sure that bodes well for the Clones. Either way, it will be a dog fight and I think our guys are up for it.

I will take a win any way we can get it. However, if the team can figure out a way to make this especially painful for Boo U I am all for it. 3 OTs with a Haliburton 25 foot 3 to win it works for me. I pick TH because they know they get to see him for 3 more years.

Baylor/WV starts same time as us.

 

[inCyteful]

I expect to win in Phog Allen.

What are weover last 11 games with them? 6-5, this would be 7-5? Does that make them our b---h?

I am with you, we should win this. I am betting exactly $0 on that and I am pulling the titanium nut cup out for this one, cuz ISU.

 

[CoKane]

Kansas?

 

[mitten1975]

Thanks Rulzzz!! GO STATE!!! Destroy Kansas!!!!

Just thought I would add my kudos to the first Destroy Kansas post. Destroy Kansas!!!!!!

 

[greatshu]

Hope we have decent number of fans there. I’ll head out there arpund 7:15 or so. Go Clones!

 

[VegasCy]

Question...I just looked on my app to see how many tickets were left for the game tonight, over 400. Is this normal? ISU conference games at Hilton have usually 50 tickets left this close to tip.

 

[IASTATE07]

It won't happen, but I want to embarrass them on their home floor. I'll take any win in Lawrence.

 

[madguy30]

If we rush the court at Kansas, do they get fined?

Might get fined just for winning there.

Or sued by ESPN or something.

 

[CycloneErik]

Hoping no Eades. Higgins has been fine IMO.

If Eades is there, we need a poll to guess how quickly Niang gets his second foul.

 

[CoKane]

I'm battling full blown excitement for this one. Trying to keep it in check because it's AFH, and it's hard to outplay KU there, let alone KU and the refs, but I really think we can do it today. Go clones

Side note: The last 2 times I got really excited for games were the Alamo Bowl and Texas football game, so take from that what you will

 

[CycloneErik]

Debating whether to follow the game thread on CF or instead log into The Phog during gametime. Can't wait to read all their complaining about Fran.

Two windows, two screens, two tabs.
So many ways to just do both.

[casey1973]

Unfortunately for us I think they will be in desperate mode and will be communicating that to the refs as well. Fingers crossed but.......
