Kansas Must Be Destroyed

[bawbie]

Also - building on that last post - a TJ coached ISU team hasn't scored 62 points in a game in Phog Allen. Ouch!

KU comes into this game absolutely reeling defensively:


(from torvik.com)

Their 3 conference games they have been just horrid defensively. They are not turning anyone over, they are giving up a lot of FTs and a lot of 3s (11 3FGM/game).

It's Phog Allen, so stupid things happen, but at the very least this should be (I hope) a high scoring game.

I'll guarantee one thing - if we don't score more than 62, we aren't going to win.

Hope this right. Another ESPN article today has it on Peacock.

Looks like Dan Shulman and Jay Bilas are on the call Tuesday.

Wish there was a way to mute 1 announcer.

I watched a little bit of the KU vs WV game on Saturday.... Man, Self looks worn down and rough. Seems like he's had enough.

Morgantown can do that to a man.

Many KU fans think, on one of their boards, ISU will roll. Like win by double digits roll.

I think weird stuff happens there. Banking is prayers. And crap like this

Yuck. Can’t wait to hear about how amazing Duke is for half the game.

Gunna be 8 vs 5. Going to have to pull a Purdue to get a big lead and show we are the better team. If it’s close, no calls going our way.

I could be wrong, but I think this is the first time since January of 2009 that we have not played a ranked Kansas team (with the exception of the Covid year that I have blocked out.

That is a real danger if Iowa State loses. If we win, then Kansas is way down.

Maybe it is just my aging ears, but I always have trouble hearing what Bilas is saying on broadcasts. Not that I'm complaining. His voice gets lost in the crowd noise.

ISU, -3.5 favorite at the Phog.

wow.

According to Google AI:
The last time the Iowa State men's basketball team was favored against Kansas at Allen Fieldhouse was today, January 12, 2026.
Prior to this game, a report from the Des Moines Register highlighted the rarity of the event, indicating it had been an extremely long time, if ever, that Iowa State had been a favorite in Lawrence. The current game (Jan 12, 2026) marks a significant moment in the rivalry, with Iowa State listed as the favored.

I am not sure ISU has been favored at Allen Fieldhouse in my lifetime and I am 60 years old. Pretty sure even the 1999/2000 team were underdogs, but could be wrong.

I know...Shulman is a real know-it-all-windbag...why can't he be more like Bilas. ;-)

I agree with you. I cannot ever remember being favored there.

I’m told by a big KU fan it’s a done deal that it will be Vaughn

Makes sense.

One minute into the game self’s face will be red and he’ll be yelling at everyone. Can’t stand the guy.
