I can't help but like Self. Every time I hear him speak I hate him less and less.

Never been a a fan of Hillary, but her "takes a village," resonating since TJ came to town
Texas Tech damn near beat ISU, so he's probably right.
Hell, he even said Kentucky's ice cream has a competitor in the Clone Cone
What I thought was truly more a display of his true respect for ISU was his knowledge of Demarion Watson as a player. Fraschilla would have that knowledge beings he's been the main Big 12 announcer for a good while now, but not sure many others would know off the cuff. Bilas hasn't done many Big 12 games & even fewer ISU games, but he spoke accurately & quite positively on Watson's abilities & skills as a player, this despite not getting many minutes this year. Just needs out of the fog of Duke & SEC from the ESPN studio once in a while.
Facts.
Colorado was within 4 at about 3 minutes.
Iowa was up 1 either way a little over 4 left.
Dayton was tied with about a minute left.
We did an amazing job of closing out those games and I’m not trying to take anything away from what we’ve done. But yes - Bilas was not off base and was not taking a shot at us.
One fun game. I'da never expected something resembling, "Kansas ain't in our league."
A first for me, and countless others here.
Some sorta close moments, but not really.
Never, ever, ever, ever...
imagined, #2 and possibly, #1, at some point.

Demarion Watson block made the Sportcenter Top Ten!
No Cooper Flagg references that I recall. That was Very impressive. I actually thought he was very complementary of our team and Hilton. And Clone Cones.
Respectfully, anything Coach Self says in regards to money can be trusted as much as about anyone.

This is the part about it that bothered me. Guarantee he wouldn't say this about a 15-1 Duke team. So far only one team has beat us, the #1-ranked team in the country, and it took a furious comeback and a buzzer-beater that was somewhat fluky.
Just another team now that the "bags from Adidas" advantage is neutralized.
Also it was so great to see Watson get his chance and come in and just be a DOG, great minutes by him.
There has been no details on what exactly is wrong with him, at least not that I've seen. Some Drake fans said it's an ongoing shoulder issue that was bothering him at Drake too. Given the timing of it (they shut him down after eight games, which is usually the max you can play on a normal schedule and still be eligible for a medical redshirt), I'd be surprised if we see him on Saturday.
Lastly, while there are many things to praise in this game, our posts once again bullied and outplayed "Big 12 pre-season player of the year" Hunter Dickinson. He and his multi-million $ NIL deal were utterly shut down by transfers from Charlotte, Saint Mary's, and Seattle U.
Great to see Dishon respond positively to a little adversity, he played with a purpose last night!

Iowa State in BEAST MODE throwing down the hammer against Kansas. It was a thumping.
Iowa State is so balanced and can beat you multiple ways. That was a really dumb comment by Bilas.
