KU Game thread

I didn't expect us to get blown out just as I didn't expect us not to.
I hoped we could play better than this yet knew it was entirely possible.
As for past years, we've had some pretty good guards to carry us in to KU and endure their good teams and tough environment.
We don't have that today.
Perhaps quitting was a strong term. not reaching down to find a little bit extra, maybe?
This half is being played much better than the last half. They are playing with a little more respect for themselves. Maybe Kansas isn't playing quite so hard, but I know we are putting forth a little more effort, too.
Is there a ten run rule? Thank god, a timeout. They cannot score. Hey the reason we are losing this bad is that no one can get away and make a shot. Is this the poorest shooting clone team since 1989? Curtis would have been driving the ball to score.
Agreed. I think anyone who thinks they aren't trying are really being ignorant. Who here honestly thinks that our guys don't care that they're down by 38?
I had no idea to expect - I knew both we're possible.
Maybe that's not an easy concept to grasp.....
It's very easy to sit behind your keyboard and accuse players for not trying when they're getting hammered by the #6 team in the nation, on the road. Real easy.
It's silly this conversation is even happening. I swear, some people just can't accept the fact we're not a good team and the nation is filled with better basketball teams right now. We knew it would be like this going into the year - yet when we actually endure it...well...this happens.
I'm all for being critical...yet don't like to see our fan base acting irrational.

It WOULD be a positive, good FT shooting is positive in a CLOSE game...this isn't even on the radar.
at least we have 29 with 10 mins to play...at our first half rate we only woulda had 30 for THE GAME!!
Everytime Kansas take a 3pt shot I lose more respect for them. If they worked the clock I wouldn't have as big of a problem.
We couldn't score 40 points running the pregame layup drill for 10 minutes so suffice to say this one's over.
It's our job to stop KU...not theirs.
I do expect them to sub soon yet I don't expect them to just shut down. They're getting ready for a deep post-season bid...

forty point lead and they keep the d pressure and stealing on with the starters? i hate giving up, but im sorry, this game is over for ISU, Bill Self is an idiot if he doesn't realize it soon.
Kansas doesn't have to stop playing their game, just because they are up this far. I don't think they are running up the score, they are just playing like they have all game. In fact, I believe they have let up on us, in the 2nd half.
