Looking back at Hilton
-
This basically puts ISU at 7 deep and their two bench players are 4 ppg types.
-
Still, we have to play a near perfect game to win this one. All their guards will be automatic from 3 if we leave them evem a little open.
-
Ox knows how to play this. They will be even a tougher out without Momci.

That’s just not true though? They shoot it 1% better than KU and just lost, by far, their best shooter. They also rate 253rd in threes attempted per game, KU is 271st for reference. This game will be won or lost inside and we need to not commit fouls (their guards are quite good at drawing them).
-
@BShark That is all true, but I think they will rain threes against us.
-
@Jhawk69 It would be a big contrast to how they normally play. I’m mostly hoping that foul trouble doesn’t lead to more Diggy minutes than normal. Feel like both teams will come out juiced.
-
@BShark guards drawing fouls doesn’t bode well for Flory high minutes, hopefully KJ brings it today if that is the case
-
We are going to have to have Rylan or AJ show up tonight for sure we need that additional Scorer tonight right now other then Zeke we don’t have that outside consistent threat, s U really like what Shaq has added brought this team to a different look, at least he does have the tools to score some instead of just another passer.
The thing I’m afraid of is Jefferson is going to neutralize at least enough Hunter that’s going to be an issue. If we can have a night where we can get either or Rylan or AJ to be productive enough that would be sweet.- -We are going to have to play a full forty minutes, can not afford any 2-3-4 minute – droughts - -be on the Hunter watch for foul trouble their Bigs pretty athletic - got to crash the boards and keep them off no 2nd- - 3rd chances , just can’t have it
-
Hunter with 20 and the two shots he takes from the arc which he can make one or both will be a boost. Can Juan, Zeke and Shak contain their guards? Maybe and depends who they each guard. Just slowing them down will be enough.
-
@Zabudda Hunter will attempt about 20 shots. He will make 7-8 of them. He will also be in position for about 20 rebounds, he will come down with about 12 of them and be outhustled by smaller ISU forwards for the other 8. He will finish with something like 18 points and 12 rebounds but will be largely ineffective. To make up for that, Mayo and Harris will have to shine and Rylan will need to knock down some threes.
-
Isn’t their 6th man their high pt guy?
-
They may zone us up, keep them out of foul trouble.
-
Now that it has enough possessions together to qualify, K. Adams / H. Dickinson / D. Harris / Z. Mayo / S. Moore is our BEST 5 man group so far. Swapping in Rylan for Shak is just behind that one.
-
Hunter shooting threes is just another look to get the lane congestion smaller. He’s shooting at 25% and we have seen him make a couple and he started the season shooting 50% from the free throw line and now he is at 75% plus he’s a good passer and can drive as evidenced in the last game. If Flory is playing with him he rebounding success improves. We’ve got a bunch of midgets who have figured out it’s a good idea to drive into the lane and those misses are easier to anticipate than threes which bounce way off. Zeke is a good at rebounding and if our shots get blocked it’s as likely to come back to us as not.
-
Do you like the earlier start at 6:00?
-
I like Hawks being prime time but now with the collapse of the PAC maybe we can be the West Coasts team in the 9 slot
-
7 for me and yes since I go into work for around 5 am
-
Jayhawks by 5
-
Let’s do it
-
Always get the ball
-
Those are the kind of dumb misses that hurt us later
-
Turnoverfest
-
I think ISt’s coach wants to win this. Jeez he’s a maniac on the sideline
-
Missed bunny and 3 sloppy TOs…
-
Fans are too dumb to recognize a travel call is the right call.
-
We’d be winning if it weren’t for dumb plays on offense. Got +2 on fouls in that first sequence and from guards.
-

Or a foul
-
Interesting that they have already subbed and we haven’t. They are short-handed - we should play 9 and push the pace all game…
-
@BeddieKU23 Yeah I just saw them foul us obviously and fans in the stands standing with arms raised like they’ve just been victimized by Jack the Ripper
-
Nice tackle KJ
-
Weak
-
Mud ball as expected. Gotta cut out the turnovers.
-
Or make a shot or 2
-
Sad ref. It’s a foul, you’re right there and just blind
-
He looks like a Wisconsin guy.
-
Sweet
-
Nice cut and pass.
-
Nice play Juan to mayo
-
ESPN for a decade now thinks we love seeing a split screen. I don’t want to see Bill Self even talking to a player. I want full screen. How dumb are they?
-
Even better when they go full screen to talk about something or someone and miss actual gameplay.
-
Iowa St doesn’t seem like they have any offense so far. If we could just figure it out on offense at some point this one could go our way
-
The only split screen I liked was coach k riding off into the sunset(lol) after his last loss w/his wife.
-
And just like that espn misses a score
-
Not their ball
-
Every out of bounds call has gone their way.
-
Ok just got home. How we looking?
-
Wow great hustle KJ!
-
@approxinfinity Meh. Some turnovers hurting, offense has been ok
-
Nice effort KJ!
-
Reminiscent of Jamari Traylor both ends of court hustle
