Exactly @wissox
-
HOW IN THE HELL WAS THAT NOT A FOUL . - LIKE gURLEY SAID THE GUY TAKES TWO STEPS AND NOTHING CALLED
-
Fail and move on
-
Thing is we don’t get our chance for payback. only time we play them this year
-
@wissox said in KU vs Cryclones Game Chat:
2 on the shot clock. Why weren’t they all up in that guys face?
Furphy blew his assignment leaving KJ between two guys
-
We’ve lost to every team that we meet only once.
-
On to the next.
-
At least kev got out of his 3 point slump
-
Positive is this was winnable with mccullar playing for Iowa state
-
The team that wins this league will lose five games - lots to go yet
-
Teams seem go nuts when playing KU in their court
-
Did they hit 20 threes?
-
14-30
-
Nice comeback. We’ll survive. We’re all kind of in the same mindset on this team.
They definitely missed the travel before that 3. Went back and watched it. What a shame.
-
Hahaha Kevin messed up anyone that bet on ISU -4.5.
-
Good last 12 minutes.
-
The difference in the game is 3 point percentage, we are even or ahead in every other category. They hit 14 3s to our 7
-
Fine the crap out of them
-
It was a galliant comeback that just fell short.
-
you know this court stoming is taking away from your win - -act like you belong , been here before, takes away from what your team did – makes you look like didn’t think you would win - -your ranked for GOD’s Sakes
-
Need Furphy going earlier. Kid can shoot.
-
They played a perfect half. Okay OSU and Houston both in Allen.

he took two steps, 100 % travel - -and of course no call
-
The comeback shows a lot of heart. I appreciate that. If that game is called more fairly (in the first half, particularly) or ISU is even a touch closer to their average from 3, we win.
-
We got 2 pts from bench today
-
@jayballer67 When they do its is far more humiliating. I like it when they storm the court. It shows they think they are inferior.

true and thing is they still are lol
-
Bench combines for 3 rebounds, 1 assists and 2 points. That’s not gonna cut it in this conference
-
Congrats ISU. You got your big dub of the year.

our bench for sure is BAD will be our downfall in the Tourney
-
Jay is right. We dont have the bench to be a championship defensive team. Think about how we guarded Steph Curry on his last effort 3. Shot clock is down, gotta contest that shot even from NBA range. But we were gased mentally and physically and didn’t react
-

Good point. This doesn’t scale.
-
2 points from the bench and we don’t defend the 3 very well. I’m surprised we only lost by 4 with the way Iowa St shot.
Jackson and Nick are the guys that have to play well for us off the bench to go far in March, and I’m not feeling too good about that right now. Still a lot of season left though.
-
Unless there are injuries, Houston is going to win the league with only 4 losses.
-
I’m not shocked or even really mad we lost this one but makes the other 2 road losses, one we led by 16 very costly. Houston is definitely in the drivers seat after today. But we know the road is tough in this conference and they could easily drop a few more.
-
OK , so West Virginia shoots 57 % from the three last week against us - - -today Iowa State that has shot 34.6 % for the year shoots 46.7
So what the hell is going on ? - - are we just not defending the three worth a dam or are these guys just playin out their ass, playing game like it’s their NCAA Championship game. -Well for WV and Iowa State playing us is their NCAA title game
Think it’s a combination of both, – they are getting really lucky and we are defending worth a dam , we are just not use to seeing the guys struggle like this – long time w have been in this position where our Bench just flat sucks
-
Tech with a comeback win in Norman and they take control of the conference
-
I can’t recall a season with 3 court stormings
-
you know looking at the Box score , our starting five really didn’t do that bad - - pretty balanced , y shot 45 % - - but Dickinson had 20 -Mccullar had 16 - - Furphy had 15 - - Adams had 13 - -and Juan had 9 - -BALANCED. - -I think just brings out two things happening – poor really poor three point defense and NO BENCH - -NO BENCH AT ALL.- - we have just got to get something , some help from our Bench
Hopefully next year we won’t have to go through this crap with our Bench, have some depth.
Iowa State Coach said Averages 4.5 three’s a game makes 14- - -Ball Game
Coach just answered the question He said - - -We can’t guard the ball. When the last time that’s happened ? Coach says we are not a pressure team - -can’t guard
-

they are gonna lose more games for sure - -ONE LOSS for sure is not going to hold
-
It’s going to be a long hard road to the post season. When we play tough defense like we did today we are basically in foul trouble sooner than later with no calvary in sight. No one can have an off night. What is the team to do? Lots of pressure on our top five who are as good as about anyone. The effort they gave today was great. I like these players and we might show them some love instead of shade.
-
Sequence at the end of the first half gives ISU 5 unanswered points:
We were up 1 and then down by 4 at the half.
And we lost by 4.
It is what it is.
-
Self on post game that our on ball defense is terrible but we don’t have the personnel to change it and I agree with him. I read a guy on Facebook commenting that only 2 of our players would start across the top half of the conference and I think I agree with that. This team doesn’t have the horses plain and simple imo. I just want to beat KSU don’t care about anything else. This team is prob about 3rd worst in the self era. Everytime we hit the court the opposing team is bigger faster and Stronger.
-
This team doesn’t seem that bad to me. But it’s thin and it has a couple of weaknesses that can be (and have been) exploited.
You can foul KJ all day and usually trade 2 points for 1. This has been done repeatedly. You can target the freshmen who don’t have the experience. This has been done.
-
Sure glad we have a football team
-
We have both and I love it. Basketball is still top 10 even after this loss. Football is top 25. That’s awesome. Both haven’t reached their ceiling.
-
The defense is bad at this point. Furphy and Jackson can’t guard statues, Dickinson’s knee has further limited his already limited mobility on that end. This is causing a significant drop in defense from Harris, McCullar, and Adams as well because we know those three range from very good to elite defenders.
This team is really missing Arterio Morris right now. I’m not saying that KU screwed up by kicking him off the team because Morris absolutely deserved that for his actions, but his skill set is desperately missing from this team this season. His defense was up there with Adams and KU would be a top 10 defense with him.
He was also the guy that could’ve gone and gotten his shot whenever he wanted to help with spacing on the floor. He also would’ve allowed Elmarko to play off the bench from the start and taken a lot of pressure off of him early. KU probably has better bench production as well with that rotation instead of what we have now.
Self’s got at least two more roster spots he can fill next season so getting a high level, playmaker guard should be the top priority in the portal this offseason.
-
I honestly think we need to scrap the switching on defense. It led to easy layups and dunks when Juan was switching to a bigger guy and the big guys gave up several 3s to guards. This isn’t working with this group.
-
@kjayhawks I dont know the answer to that, but I was noticing the same thing.
-
Caveats apply but interesting https://x.com/djohnsonradio/status/1751388182761885937?s=46&t=c0LiaNrxev6XfT7LIH8dAQ
