Yet again the last five minutes…

[Lineup]

not sure what Heise brings

not sure what Heise brings

Defense, rebounding, solid with the ball and occasional points along with giving the other guards a breather.

It's not that complicated.

It's when the 99-00 team dominated too.

Not only Q1, but with them getting healthy and experienced ASU is going to be a tough out the rest of the season. That’s a good team that’ll win some games.

Agreed but thought the same about Dayton and WVU looking like booty.

We’re in new territory. KU has dealt with every team having them in their sights for years. It’s now our turn.

I've said this before. KG is like the Hulk. You don't want to get him angry. He's a beast when he gets riled up

And knocking off his headband is the #1 way to rile him up

Gilbert only had 12 points but I think he had about all of them on a crazy ~five-minute run.

Their big dude Quaintance (SP?) fouling out opened up a whole bunch of things.

Can you make reservations for dinner Monday night, say about 9 CT?

Don’t worry, will long be in bed at that time.

Loved that closing lineup of Jefferson, DWat, Curtis, Keshon, and Tamin. That lineup is nails defensively and doesn’t give up anything in the rebounding department.

22 solid minutes for Watson today. He got burned a little on D in the first half (some blow-by’s) but really locked down in the second.

Arizona State had absolutely no idea what to do against the “switch everything” defense.

 

[rosshm16]

Watson has been really solid on defensive boards in his run here.

I said JJ was an NBA talent when he feels like it... so I'm sure it was me. Not afraid to admit what I said... especially when it's 100% accurate.

When guys aren't playing up to their potential, I will say it... I know that makes me a horrible fan in the eyes of some on here. Whatever. And I give them the props they deserve when they do. JJ and KG both finished the game like the studs they are. Was great to see.

So rant away on me and try to make me not be a Cyclone fan anymore.... sorry.. that will NEVER work.

Tons of people were critical of how we played most of the game today, but I'm the one that always gets called out every time it seems... it's fine. S**t on me all you want. Shows what great fans you really are, doesn't it!

Because you are incredibly insufferable most of the time. Extremely negative in almost every single game thread, ******** about something, crying about another. You are extremely reactive to everything. Yes we didn’t play out best but it’s a long road trip to a place we’ve never been, to play a decent team. Things don’t always go as expected. Sometimes it’s okay to just shut the hell up and not post every thought that pops in that brain of yours.

I love that tj plays with the lineups until he finds the hot one and stays with it. Chat, Jackson, and Heise all struggled today. So TJ put today's best five in at crunch time and let them bring it home.

Somebody should collect the bad takes from game threads.

Compile them. And make a Hall of Shame to name and shame.

It would be a very thick book.

This team always turns it on right after I text my dad and tell him we’re gonna lose.

Whoa, talk about a mega thread. It’s kind of crazy how insufferable so many people on this board are. If it’s bad, I just know if we can keep it under 10 going to the 5 minute mark, the other team is in trouble. No matter what the first 35 minutes look like, our last 5 are a thing of immaculate beauty.
