Anyone know if the public can park at Maple, Willow, Larch for the game tonight with students gone?
I watched some of the Cincy game and the first half of the Mizzou game. The Cincy game was weird and boring. There were no fouls (12 total in the game combined), and it wasn't just like the refs swallowed the whistle - it just wasn't very physical.
The Mizzou game - the arena was rocking and KU was flustered BADLY the first half, they had 14 turnovers and were down 15 at the half. They made it a bit closer in the second half, but they were completely off the rails in the first.
When they struggled against Mizzou, there were 4 main things:
1) Be physical with Dickinson - he pushes further and further out
2) KJ Adams was in foul trouble so they went small
3) KU guards were sped up and made bad / lazy passes
4) Mizzou (Bates and Mitchell especially) got into the paint at will
Mark Mitchell, the Duke transfer, was especially effective, both at getting to the paint and drawing fouls on Adams. His game is quite similar to Jefferson, who I think will be a key (as usual) and the chance to be very disruptive to KU's defense. Either getting Adams in foul trouble - and then if KU goes small, either matching up with Dickinson, which is an intriguing matchup on either end, or getting AJ Storr on him, which is a huge mismatch.
KU hasn't had the same turnover problem they did at Mizzou in any other game - but they haven't faced a defense like ours either - we're a better team than Mizzou and a tougher environment.

I’m gonna assume Heise starts for Milan and Jones continues being the best 6th man in college basketball history.
Iowa State wins 68-62. Kansas leads for 2 minutes in the second half before Iowa State pushes past with 8 minutes left.
I also think a lot of people will be concerned by some scoring droughts. Kansas has been stringing together some legitimately impressive stretches on defense.

Who is Cade Thompson?
The rumor I saw says this rumor on Milan's hand was started by a KU burner account.
Avid Cyclone basketball fan. He was the first person I saw say anything about this.
SIAP - Is this a theme game like Gold Rules or White Out game?
Just wondering which jersey to wear

Will someone (Heise?) step up and show the ability to hit some 3's tonight? If so, game really doesn't change. If not, it is going to change the game in the paint when we have the ball as KU collapses to glog the lanes.
I am glad this is home game and there is not a lot of pressure. I think Heise rises to the challenge.

I know they are not ticketing students parking there right now due to break. I don't know if they have posted the (don't park here) sign they usually do during the school year.
