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

[KCyclone2010]

It’s so hard to stay positive when this is such a big TJ trend to implode

 

[CycloneVet]

Hints of being broken for awhile we had stress fracture and this was the final snap. We aren't a top 5 team. We have chance to be good but have lots of work to do to be final four ready.

Jesus, final 4? You don’t ever predict a final four with any team. So much has to go right. Sweet 16 is the first hurdle.

 

[OKClones]

Pull the starters and get ready for Cincy.

 

[cycloneretro]

Same thing as last year

 

[madguy30]

I agree, it's a few weeks earlier than usual.

Yeah and there hasn't been a team that was ever 'broken'.

It's just something stupid that people say.

 

[Pharmacy99]

Not when this is a Kansas team that should be 0-3 in Big 12.

Do you have anything nice to say about ISU?

 

[awd4cy]

I’m mean, maybe. I can just tell you, it’s a long season. There will be inevitable ups and downs. In no way should the panic button be pushed.

Like I said, Saturday will tell us a lot. No excuses.

 

[JP4CY]

good game from batemon

TBH the whole bench.

 

[jflattery]

I will watch to the end cause I think there is a 20 point shot out there.

The old rock and jock 20 point shot?

 

[Malone]

That offensive display in the first half was atrocious. No movement, terrible spacing, no set plays, nothing but ISO ball.

Be prepared to see if the rest of the season.

 

[GTO]

Hello darkness, my old friend...

 

[Darius Bieber]

Are you just refusing to believe that a team can change from one game or week to another?

Like do you think this version of KU was the one that just lost at WV the other day?

That is who Kansas has been pretty much all year. They're 11-5, only real ranked win against Tennessee.

 

[spitfyr36]

We can say all we want “we were due a loss” or “Kansas is better than their record” and continue to give these excuses or actually come to terms with the fact that these slow starts and sloppy game play is what’s costing the Cyclones.

This is going to lead to another typical early NCAA Tournament exit.

they’ve made the sweet 16 50% of Otz seasons.

 

[Texbudman]

It’s still Kansas at Phog Allen

 

[fsanford]

Not when this is a Kansas team that should be 0-3 in Big 12.

Its still Kansas with the #1 NBA draft pick and hall of fame coach on the team

Guess I am dealing with the loss fine cuz knew Kansas had to have the win to get their season back on track.

ISU did not match intensity.

Not going to panic

 

[RagingCloner]

This player of the year **** has gone to JJ’s head. Okay with him being humbled a bit

 

[1TwistedCyclone]

We just can't have these massive offensive lulls in the first half. Kansas is playing well, but had we just knocked in some put backs, we'd be right there.

 

[NoCreativity]

Fred never got embarrassed down there other than the first season, which we just didn’t have the personnel.

He kind of did though for his decision not to foul that cost them the game in the Lucious/Clyburn year. That was pretty embarrassing imo.

 

[CYEATHAWK]

I love how Steve Prohm was the only ISU coach in 25 years that figured out how to not get embarrassed down there.

Take away the "phantom three" and Wayne Morgan probably wins twice in Lawrence. And those were top five KU teams.

 

[KCyclone2010]

Love when your senior leaders just don’t show up
