The teams have met 56 times. GU leads series 54-2.

The Tang Gang won by NINE points over lowly UL-Monroe (who lost by 11 to Houston Christian - the team we play tonight). I watched quite a bit of the second half. After being down by about 20, ULM cut the Kitty's lead to 4 points with about 3 minutes left in the game. KSU has athletes and when they have a good shooting night, they can put up a LOT of points against most teams - but their defense is awful. I feel like they are one of those teams that, if everyone on their team commits to working hard at both ends of the floor, they can compete with the top teams in the Big12. There will likely be some games where this happens, but I think they will likely end up playing more games of one-on-five hero ball (and mediocre defense). Also if the conference slate goes sideways, I can see players like Haggerty "checking out." But, who knows, maybe the Mildcats will surprise me.
Until Izzo went scorched earth in the locker room at halftime
He actually is pretty good. A bit of a homer, but not obnoxiously over the top. Wouldn’t be surprised if he gets opportunities to go to a network gig.
I guess he must have made the most of spending 9 years at a school with a good journalism school?
Not a huge Izzo fan, but appreciate him putting the heat on Scott Drew (amongst other coaches):

Baylor coach Scott Drew defended his signing of former NBA draft pick James Nnaji, saying he's merely adapting to the current climate of college basketball.
Drew's ******** defense was "well, if they allow it, we'll do it". Scumbag.
I really can’t blame Drew. I would hope otz would do the same. It’s up to the NCAA to fix its own mess.Not a huge Izzo fan, but appreciate him putting the heat on Scott Drew (amongst other coaches):

Honestly I kinda agree.
I’m with Izzo that it’s extremely stupid and shouldn’t happen but if it’s there and your Baylor I get doing it. Louisville already did it and I am sure other teams will as well but I really hope even more coaches come out against it to try to force a change. I think Few made some statements against it as well
It's still a sleazy move. NIL has made things bad enough, we don't need to ruin the sport any further. Nice of Izzo to call Drew on the phone and berate his ass.
Izzo was only pissed he didn’t do it himself.
If the NCAA would attempt to put a rule in place, do you think the courts would let it stand? The anti-trust lawsuits are killing the NCAA’s ability to regulate their own institutions.
@FriendlySpartan your boy Izzo is washed. 97 at home to 6-6 Cornell? Yikes.
Still won by 17 and got to see Barry Sanders kid get some good mins which is always a win.
But I also know you’re trolling.
Unluckily the stopped our Hilton streak last yr. We looked terrible that game.
Although it's a micro-detail in the big picture, that loss still annoys the **** out of me.
