Win or lose tonight we all win with @CycloneRulzzz on CF!
Taking a lesson from my own username, and our history at Allen Fieldhouse, I refuse to care about this game.
I will accept it now that we'll get three phantom foul calls on us for every one KU bulldozing. We'll brick every three, yet storm back into the game after being down big... only to lose in the final minute — after an egregious no-call, followed by a KU three, hit by whoever gets to have their career night against us, as someone must. The AF special.
If the result is anything different, I'll be stoked. If not, it's fine — the cost of doing business in the Big 12. Seen this game a million times before.

Numbers say we should win, but I have a hard time expecting win at Phog. If we get it I feel we have what tit takes to get a 1 one seed.
Yup. Is it true what I read; seven times we brought a ranked team into the Phog and lost ?#@?
Play our A-game and we got this tonight.
Favored in the metrics. Media has been asking what is wrong with Kansas? Fans have been lamblasting them. Their coach has been lamblasting them.
They are at home where historically they are hard to beat as underdogs vs the #2 team. This game is shaping up to be a Phog Allen special. I'm officially worried.
I posted this in the Kansas Must Be Destroyed thread :
7 times we've brought a ranked team into Phog Allen in the Bill Self era and we are 0-7
- Last year was the first time we were ranked higher and the first time Kansas was NOT a Top 10 team
- This is the first year we are a Top 10 team and the first time KU is not ranked
- A TJ coached team has not scored more than 61 points in Phog Allen

My prediction: Toure/Heise makes life really tough on Peterson and the rest of the team is still out of sync. Milan stays hot and JJ takes over late. ISU 81-68
I heard somewhere this will be the first game since 1988 where Kansas will be playing at AFH as an unranked team while facing a top 5 opponent.
Nervous about this one. It's never easy to win at AFH. And Kansas will come out with a chip on their shoulder to prove everyone they can still compete despite their struggles the last couple of weeks.
This will be a game where I don't care about winning by 1 or by 20. I just want to come out of AFH with a win. But to do that, ISU has to come out strong to start the game and take the crowd out of it as much as possible.

Game ends on a charge call, buchanan on his back laughing with Peterson looking like someone shot him.

When will we know the officials? I’m assuming this has the making of a Padilla / Sermons double team with no lube.
