*** Official #2 IOWA STATE vs Kansas Game(Day) Thread ***

[CentexCyclone]

Hot take: Not only am I not worried, but I am glad to see KU is playing with their hair on fire.

I'll allow this take. Cyclones might need to get punched in the face to learn not to take a nap the first 10 minutes of the game.

Andddddd now we lose respect around the country once again

No.

And once again? We've been pretty respected with TJ.

 

[cycloneretro]

Old team and just not ready for the moment at all lol

 

[isucy86]

Tough to win on the road shooting long jump shots & turning the ball over. TJ's gotta find a way to get baskets out of the halfcourt offense in the paint. And it's not going to be Jefferson playing bully ball.

 

[RezClone]

The ONLY positive is we aren't in foul trouble.

Really reaching here...

 

[AdRock4Cy]

Good night

 

[ImJustKCClone]

They can’t miss right now.

That #2 by our name has them tuned in.

Plus, they'll never admit it but we ARE a rival for them.

We’re nearing the annual February fade. Schedule is brutal too.

don’t worry, Hassel on Thursday

“Iowa State goes into unranked KU and loses by 20! Will they make the tournament??”

If feels like ISU teams in all sports have pretty much **** the bed as soon as they hit 'chased' status for as long as I can remember.

 

[madguy30]

At least Purdue put up a fight in the first half. We’re barely off the bus

Hahaha.

They were at ******* home in November.

Unbelievable.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

Self is torching TJ in his game planning. We aren’t attacking KU’a awful defense and Self has easily figured out our defense.

Self is also one of the best college coaches of all time

 

[danvillecyclone]

Just like last year in Lawrence, getting blitzed early. It shows that Iowa State hasn't been tested in a hostile environment in a long while.

Hmmmmm

Since the 1st half of the DECEMBER 6th game.

Interesting

 

[BigLame]

We get pushed away for the rim on drives because we are soft & just throw up prayers. KU's players are going right through us all the way to the tin & play straight through the entire shot. Ridiculous how poor our defense is. Oh well

 

[Clonedogg]

Ya when it was 12 pts, I thought we could get it to 7 by half...now this is looks like we're just launching the first look within 40 ft.

 

[AuH2O]

Boy KU has been complete Fran McCaffrey level garbage on the defensive end in Big 12 this season.

Not being ready to compete at the start of these games was bound to finally get them.

You can’t question the resilience of the team, but they aren’t ready to play at the start for some reason lately.

 

[ImJustKCClone]

Good night

not yet...

 

[12191987]

Thing is, it actually isn’t just another gym. This team is absolutely good enough to fall into a huge hole though, so it should be fun in the second half.

 

[bustamoveisu]

Buchanan has been completely MIA.

And he looks pouty out there. Best offensive rebounder in the country.... not so much.

 

[CySmurf]

Everyone...
Try not to let this ONE game set your conclusions for the season. It's a horrible time to play KU. End of story.
