I thought Bilas was fine. He was gushing over our guys, TJ, and our program. If I’m a KU fan I’m crying that Bilas is as biased for Iowa State as Fran is.
I thought he sucked but I've never really been a fan of his. Spends way too much time gushing on the blue bloods and was just looking for every possible good thing he could say about KU. Almost seemed upset towards the end that he had to give more props to the Clones...

I don't think that's the actual quote from Bilas.

Last three home games the clones have kicked their ass. First couple TJ teams just didn’t quite have the offensive firepower to get it done (although we did smoke them at Hilton in 22).

I'm aware. But 6 years was the timeline in the quoted post.

It was a little weird but how is this wrong?
well only 1 team has beaten us so far, and that was the #1 team in the nation on a last minute desperation tip. There aren't many 1 loss teams left. His comment seemed pretty dumb to me. Not 'any team' will beat us.

This team will get beat a few times still on the season and there's still teams like Duke, Tennessee, etc. out there that are really good.

Are you saying those teams couldn't beat ISU?

Great quote from Self: one guy looked really happy to be starting and the other looked really mad he wasn’t. Best two players on the floor tonight.

Not sure about others but Bill seems infinitely more likable than he used to be. Probably the opposing coach I enjoy listening to the most.

We didn't really play great but KU is one of the best defensive teams in the country by most stats. They been giving up less than 60 points a game in big 12 play. We didn't have one of our best scorers and got meh type of offensive games from Gilbert and Jefferson, basically nothing from the guys you mentioned, only 4 from Chat, turned the ball over 13 times but we still put up 74 on them.
Seems like Self was doubling Cujo while leaving the non-shooter unguarded a few times in the 2nd half.

how is Duke and or Tenn any team? those are two top ten teams. the quote from earlier in the thread was we can beat anyone but anyone can beat us. I think that is dumb. I don't care one way about Bilas, but if that is what he said, it is dumb.

Pretty sure he said 'many teams' can beat ISU. Many. Multiple.

Watson looked really good tonight. Jackson might be better off the bench. Self did really well to keep the top from blowing off Hilton otherwise that have wouldn't have been close.
Having someone chomping at the bit ready to come in after watching the flow of the game is great. Curtis..Jackson. Loved it.
