I like KU’s player who looks like an 8 year old girl.

Just starting to wrap my head around this game.

That may have been the best game planning against Kansas I have seen from an ISU coach. We have won many in the past on sheer effort/ gut it outedness. CSP out coached Billy Boy and it wasn't close.

2nd place would be two years ago in Lawrence.

This deserves a poll.

Housing KU with a team still figuring things out or the crowd in Lawrence falling silent.

Was a joke for all those homies that don't like Prohm winning.

I thought the '60' would have been obvious but obvuously not.

I absolutely love Prohm, I've been a fan from day one.

But sometimes I'll say "Hoiberg years" or "Hoiberg era" and plenty of people flip out here. How else am I supposed to describe those seasons? There's really silly hyper sensitivity on all sides.

Hoiberg seasons were great.

There's a few around that will likely ignore things like today's win though. Someone will probably find some article about Fred contacting Shayok and therefore CSP isn't winning with his own recruits and this win doesn't count.

THT brings a little better juju on defense with his blocks and his length.

Every time I watch a game live without checking the box, I'll be surprised at his box score. It's incredibly unpredictable but one or two stats will always be high. Today it was five assists that stood out but not many points/rebounds. Another game it's blocks or steals, and then some he does get the points and boards.

We've had a lot of unique players but he's going to be pretty unique.

Those are people too stupid to enjoy the ride. Screw 'em.

Need to come up with a super boring vanilla term for those years to keep things friendly.

"Collective seasons played and players recruited under the previous staff"

Hoiberg years or Hoiberg era definitely is a trigger word.

Hot take: Solo has more ability.

More than Lard? He definitely has a better looking shot and at times can defend better in some ways other than shot blocking. Probably gets the rebound he needs to get better where Lard maybe gets the sky for it rebound. They both have a ton of upside still I think.

No.

**** em.

Beating KU by 17 is not something that happens hardly ever. I don't care who's coaching. That was fantastic.

They are a smaller and less athletic perimeter team than ISU, smaller even when Wigginton was in. When it was Shayok-Hal-NWB we dwarfed them.

They have speed edge on our backcourt and wings, but we have a TON more size, leaping ability and length 1-3 than they do and that has nothing to do with their guy who was out.
