Than Bookie from KU. That dude's a beast and awful matchip but (again, hot take) SY has an underrated game.
Lard's a different player which is great for this roster.

I think the 15 fouls of Lard/Young/Jacobson would easily have handled even a good performance by him had he played in a game we dominated otherwise.
It would be a shame for him to play that slugfest, kid is a freewheeling 70s/80s NBA style player at heart.
Yeah the talent disparity on full display isn't that great between the teams. KU missed shots but if they made them ISU still likely wins.
Another Hot take (this is fun!): don't sleep on Conditt. Him rim running in Lawrence is fun to think about.
I am not sure I am buying the whole "It would have been different with Azibuke" narrative.
If he had played, I think each team would have scored another dozen points. Them, inside and us with our guards running more circles around them. I mean, he wasn't going to be out there covering our wide open threes any better than their guards.
Suppose we will find out in a few weeks.

Self is way less annoying that Deputy Dog used to be. He's going all out ISU appreciation post game where Williams would have painted us as the worst team the nation and that KU only lost because they played their absolute worst game every time ISU beat them (including the 5 straight).
Congratulations Clones!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome job.... I love seeing KU go down!! Great start to Big XII play

We barely even played Young, if he came in and was dominating Young would have come in specifically to rough him up a little.
They very well may handle us in Lawrence or in the B12T, but today there was no way ISU wasn't winning this thing.
@randomfan44 kudos for not being a dickhead tonight, we have to be pretty annoying right now.
Don't blow it rest of the season.

He is what Diante Garett could have been with 4 years of good coaching
It really is unprecedented depth. We had guys who have proven they can contribute where there just weren't minutes for when you're trying to lock up a win vs #5 KU.
I cannot remember a KU game where we had a guy like Solomon or even Talley available and didn't need him because the matchups of an 8 man rotation were working so well.
Even if he's off, he's legit at getting to the hoop which makes many others available. KU looked locked in on him. Good.
As I always say, boy do teams look good when they shoot the ball well. Nice win, enjoy it and get back to work, because the next game on the road the defense is most likely the thing that gets the win. Not that they played bad defense tonight, but have two guys combining for 9 for 10 from 3 pointers sure makes it look easy.
That's the best comparison physically for sure. I think he has a knack for the ball though, that's what reminds me of Monte. Doesn't look strong enough as a true freshman just like MM but somehow just an instinctive knack for the ball.
You can basically fall asleep on conditt this year. That’s just how it’s going to be. One for the future.
I'd like to think Lard is going to be here and improving on and off the court, but if not and we're in a game with lots of fouling down low...that's where Conditt's value is this conference season if I'm being a realist.
Glad we have a coach who can evaluate talent and then recruit them to Ames.
