I think if UH wins tomorrow, they're going to win the league outright again at 16-2, Arizona finishes second at 15-3, KU and Tech finish tied for 3rd at 14-4, and ISU finishes 5th at 13-5.
I think this is a pretty level-headed look ahead. A lot feels like it hinges on that Houston / Iowa State game tomorrow night.
I feel like I have to root for Iowa State to do some damage and keep hopes alive for KU to finish at the top in a tie.

That game is at Hilton, UH won't blow out ISU.

Iowa St just had their super bowl and Houston is a better team. Standing by my prediction

Not so fun with the box score!
This one really was defined by the tenacious Iowa State defensive effort. Not an easy place to win, and i don't think we have for awhile. But, i wasn't expecting to be blown out like that. gotta keep the NCAA tourney stats people happy, and that didn't.
FGs
KU 19-51 / 37%
ISU 27-62 / 44%
TURNOVERS
KU 13
ISU 6
3 PT SHOTS
KU 6-18
ISU 11-30
INDIVIDUAL STATS
Darryn Peterson: 24 minutes played / 10 pts / 3 TOs and doodly squat elsewhere really. A total dud. Fingers crossed he can recover from his ailments quickly. Hard for KU to win with those stats, although you could argue we've won with him scoring zero on the bench! ha. his defense was and has been pretty bad as well lately.
Tre White: 2 points / 4 rebounds / 1 assist / 1 turnover. Tre is in the midst of a statistically awful run. sounds like he has a tooth issue? I hope that explains things, but maybe not if we go back a few games or so.
Flory Bidunga: 11 points / 13 rebounds / 5-13 FGs / 1 block. 11 and 13 is nice, but that FG% is about half his usual. He sure was dribbling around a lot. not a good sign!
BENCH SCORING
10 points: Once again low output from the bench. But that's actually pretty good for this team. Maybe even more than doubling a usual game. Recents have been 4, 2, etc. How they heck can ya win like that?? crazy.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I could see it. Houston won't turn the ball over like we did and won't let ISU outrebound them. Also Iowa State's 40 footers and sideways corner threes that fell against us won't fall against Houston.
-
Saunders from BYU...torn ACL. They done

Both teams are insanely physical and strong defensively this will be a race to 60. It won't be a blow out either way.
-
Teams that played BYU with Saunders played a much better version of BYU.
Any of the B12 leaders that still have BYU on their schedule will have an advantage. Not nearly the test that it was prior to Saturday.
-
We had five less treys and 12 less points off turnovers. Equals 27 points to the bad.
-
This caught my eye!
-
Very interested to see Iowa St's response after their Super-Bowl Saturday. My prediction is bold but that's why it's that. Iowa St winning would help KU, I just don't see it as a likely outcome.
-
Brutal Loss.
Arizona lost Koa Peat to an undisclosed leg injury that they haven't announced the outcome to as well.
-
@BeddieKU23 if Houston wins tonight, that’s pretty well it for the conference IMO.

I'm not necessarily predicting an ISU win, I just don't see this game being a blowout either way because of each team's style of play.
-
Welp. ISU got it done. Conference is still in play.

Didn’t age well
-
Certainly didn't age like wine. At least the outcome benefitted KU temporary
-
Houston shot 34 threes and made 12. ISU bench 25 pts Houston 8 pts. I thought ISU matched up pretty well everywhere but Kingston Flemings scored 22 with 4/6 from three. He is playing like the best Freshman guard in the conference.
-
The thing with Flemings isn't just that he scores a lot, but that he scores whenever Houston needs him to. It seems like every time their opponent makes a run, Flemings ends it by hitting a tough shot.
