My hot take is that I think we should have scored more points than Kansas
Lol, my hot take is we needed to make them score less (seriously). We're really not a team that is going to win scoring 80 any more. I thought before the game that we'd have a great chance to win if we kept them under 70.

We are a far less effective defensive team with Wigginton on the floor and when he’s not covering that on the other end it’s a recipe for a loss.
My main question...What is Prohm’s aversion to playing more than 7-8 guys? When you have two guys as volatile as Wiggy and Lard, wouldn’t you want to at least have a couple of guys that could give you 5-10 mins on nights like tonight when those two give you absolutely nothing. You can’t tell me it would honestly hurt you to give Talley, Lewis, or Conditt a few of their minutes?
Obviously when those two are playing well, they should get those minutes. But when one fouls out in 6 minutes and the other can’t hit a shot but insists on forcing the issue and making bad decisions all night, I wonder why he doesn’t budge on this line of thinking.

Also, maybe work on not letting teams just run right by you for easy layups. Not sure of any drills that fix that in practice but I’m sure @Fitzy can find some
Dude is exactly what AAU basketball, showcase basketball stand for.
We had no answer for Lawson. And you can’t give up a 14-0 run at AFH. Glad we battled back, but we were playing catch-up the last 10 minutes
We lost the game with poor second half defense, turnovers, and questionable free throw shooting (until late when we were already down two possessions).
To be honest, some of those stats should have had us losing big.

The officiating didn’t suck. So there’s that I guess.
However in a way it does suck because you see a well officiated game and you wonder why they get a game wrong 3X more often than they get a game right. It’s not as hard as ref apologists make it out to be.
Must have gone 8+ minutes without a made shot in the second half. Not
calling anyone out, just can't do that crap on the road.

Lewis and Conditt would have been lost out there. Lewis hasn't played defense all year, and Conditt would have been going against the best player in the conference. Talley, I would have tried because of his defense and matchup options.
All the KU fans looked about 8 to 15 pounds overweight. entitled little gluttons.
I was very impressed with Haliburton’s poise tonight. Clutch free throws, good 3 point shooting, and good ball distribution as usual. Nothing jumps off the stat page from him, but he was the only one that didn’t seem shook at times, along with NWB. I feel confident with the ball in either of their hands, much like Monte in previous years.
Maybe some of our guys got too excited when they heard how many NBA scouts were in attendance and decided to create an NBA highlight hit tape.
Many times, a surge like that has turned into a major blowout at KU, so I'm glad ISU was able to nibble away and get back into contention, even though it was too much to overcome. We could have folded, but didn't. I guess that's a silver lining.
If he can go 40 he really should.
Still wish he'd be more aggressive in the paint. His teardrop is great.
