They aren't your typical unranked team, agreed. But you can't argue with results, and there's have not been great. Oh well, they'll be back in the Top 25 if not 20 again next week.

One of those games. Batemon and Heise were really the only guys who played well. Lipsey during the early half run, after which KU couldn't miss.
Move on. Beat Cincinnati.
Move on. Beat Cincinnati.
Somehow we only ended up with 12 turnovers. Felt like they were all in the first half. 11 assists won't get it done
They might be a top 10-15 team at Allen Fieldhouse. They have a lot of talented players. They have just been inconsistent in games I've watched. Tonight they were a top 10 team for 35 minutes.
As someone else pointed out, the camera limitation was actually kinda nice.
It's close. Let's see how Saturday goes.
A few can't wait to start wondering aloud again if TJ is the right one.
They didn't get beat. They got embarrassed. Full well knowing Kansas had something to prove.
MVPs are bench players: Heise and Batemon.
LVPs are JJ Lipsey and Buchanon

With still a really good starting 5 and their backs against the wall with, say what you will, an elite veteran coach?
They definitely have a talented roster....they just haven't been gelling....well tonight they looked like a really good team. If that Kansas shows up every game going forward, they're gonna be dangerous...just unfortunate they played their absolute best and we played our absolute worst
That was a disaster.
A loss, yeah, I don't think it'd shock any of us. It was out of control in the first 10 minutes.

I think we can put the "National Title Contender" thing to rest after this game. Iowa State has looked mediocre on offense the last 8 games. Defense is also getting carved up. Iowa State is turning the ball over more and more as teams figure out how to play against Iowa State's offense. Jefferson is now forcing things. Toure is now forcing things. Heise hasn't been able to hit a shot consistently. I still think Iowa State finishes in the top 4 teams of the league...just not the champ. This team has always felt like a 5 seed that can play like a 2 seed, but only for 1 half. Final 4 is a pipe dream in my opinion. Let's just get to the 2nd weekend without going full Iowa State (where we embarrass our ourselves on national tv for all to see). The brighter the lights get, the more likely Iowa State is to go full nuclear choke (across all sports ironically). It's the Iowa State way.
Crazy to think Indiana is 1 game away from being the most recent school to go undefeated and win a national title in both sports.Hoosiers football:
2014 @ KU?
Our biggest deficit was 14 in the first half, and we closed to only be down 3 at halftime. It was a 5 point game with 7 minutes left. We had it down to 6 points with 1:25 left in the game. Lost by 11. No, THAT game was nothing like the absolute a$$ blasting that we saw tonight. THAT game - against Embid and Wiggins - was much, much more competitive.
The earlier game in Ames that year was also a great game, just couldn't overcome Embid as he was an absolute stud in Hilton that night. But again, very competitive game.
