ISU and their fans may not be everyones cup of tea but they really bring a lot of energy to the gym. They’re idiots but it feeds energy to their team and ISU seems to be always skilled enough to feed off it and regularly challenge us or beat us.
For the 2nd Saturday in a row, down 2, we’ve had a call go against us (last week the clean steal by Elmarko and the almost sure run out to a game tying hoop) and today around the 1 minute mark a missed travel call against them would’ve given the ball down two inside a minute left chance to tie or take the lead. But Kansas gets all the calls.
I’m a little puzzled by the Bill Self tech. Seemed pretty clear the kid got swiped across the head.
Too many careless turnovers. Passes either telegraphed, or off target. Announcer kept telling us ISU forces a lot of TO’s and maybe they do but today they seemed to be a lot of unforced errors.
Read it in the game thread, but KJ is such a liability at the line that teams are going to start fouling him so that he maybe only scores 1 or even 0. His formerly deadly 10 foot jumper seemingly has abandoned him as well.
If DaJuan had scored 1 more point we most likely would have won given his when DaJuan scores 10 or more stat.
Saw video of old clone fans behind the bench mocking Bill Self when he got his T. Fine with me, They’ve seen one of their teams in the FF way back when Marcus Fiezer was around. We’ve had 6 in that time period and 2 championships. If they want to look like immagure old dudes on twitter, godspeed old clones.
I hate watching bigs camp in the lane without whistles. Edey does it, Hunter does it, ISU did it a bunch today. Dang just blow the whistle. Guys will learn not to do it.
I just kind of wish Johnny would stop playing so well, LOL, I just don’t want him going pro which seems to be the chatter.
DaJuan and Hunter are our top 3 point shooters, Johnny is 3rd. DaJuans today was impressive, I believe it was a shot clock beating swish. I don’t want him to become high volume but he’s made 18, an average of 1 a game of course, but 2 a game would be better.
At this point I’m just kind of holding out hope the post season team gets hot and it turns into a memorable season. This is just feeling like one of those top 3 seed teams that gets embarrassingly run from the dance in the 2nd round which is when it always seems to happen.
Rock Chalk Bucketeers!
It would be nice if the post season team gets hot. We have five scoring players and if they all have a good game we total about 75 to 80 points. The important word is all. If one has a bad shooting game, several turnovers or sits extended time because of foul trouble we are going to be playing catch up without any back up. It’s already happened. Sometimes we can overcome it and sometimes we could/will get beat even if we are playing good. Razor thin and it’s gonna be an exciting trip so I’m not going to expect more than a reasonable outcome. These guys are not jerks or slackers and we might see our three bench players bail us out.
