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

[CycloneVet]

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

Disagree. Joel Embiid killed us

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?

You know games like this is what the Beebs looks for. He loves this ****.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

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

They're weird. They don't look that bad, seems like they are loaded with talent like your typical j- hawk team is. Then again, I really haven't watched them until tonight, so can't tell you what's gone wrong.

 

[simply1]

TBH the whole bench.

Nelson wasn’t good really

 

[Wally86]

We weren’t going to go through the whole season without hitting some adversity. All about how you respond

This is Cyclone Fanatic! How do you think we will respond?

 

[GoSTATE71]

We had to lose eventually, getting smacked by a super mediocre KU team stinks but all good. If they lose to Cincy or look awful to start the game I’ll panic. Jefferson needs to stop the hero ball **** he’s been doing, he’s great but outside of WVU pretty mid as of late

 

[madguy30]

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

So the answer is yes, you refuse to acknowledge that things can change for teams as the season goes on.

 

[CycloneBamaFan]

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

Why do we start so poorly?

 

[awd4cy]

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.

At least his teams fought down there though and those KU teams were a lot better.

 

[CY88CE11]

Do you have anything nice to say about ISU?

It's easier to ignore people that root against Iowa State.

 

[NoCreativity]

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

My brain can't go back that far. All I remember were Eustschy and then Donovan Jackson as far as wins.

 

[Old87]

Basketball is a funny game. Sometimes you can’t buy a basket, sometimes you can’t miss. Unfortunately tonight the Cyclones can’t buy a basket and Kansas can’t miss. It’s only one game, on to the next one.

They're weird. They don't look that bad, seems like they are loaded with talent like your typical j- hawk team is. Then again, I really haven't watched them until tonight, so can't tell you what's gone wrong.

I’ve seen 3-4 KU games and this is a completely different team. Playing up to their talent. They were desperate for this one and they get up for ISU games now.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

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

It's just something stupid that people say.

I think TJs 2nd and 4th teams became broken down the stretch. Last year it was injuries granted.

 

[AlCyJim]

No way Kansas is shooting this good from 3 in game 2. I look forward to the rematch

And then our players can punch their chests.

 

[3TrueFans]

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

****, he’s right.

 

[RagingCloner]

This team owes the fans that made the trip a public apology. What a ******* joke. Punked by Selfs worst Kansas team yet

 

[DurangoCy]

We all know Jefferson is great but he’s got to get out of the hero ball funk.

17 turnovers and shooting sub-40% from the floor in 3+ conference games isn’t going to help maximize this team’s ability.

Comparing Jefferson to Niang or Royce was so dumb. Both of them could dribble and I’m not sure Jefferson has ever touched a ball most nights.

 

[awd4cy]

Disagree. Joel Embiid killed us

11 point loss doesn’t look so bad compared to tonight.

 

[bos]

And then our players can punch their chests.

It’s so stupid. He looks like a damned idiot
