@benshawks08 said in Let's talk Iowa St:
@BeddieKU23 just make some of the open threes and we will be fine. At least we are taking threes this game.
Kevin bricked ones he can make. Agree
Need to play much better on offense to win this
Iowa St had a guy make a 3 that was shooting 16%. Of course
Great bucket by kj
Wtf zach you could have made it an 9 pt lead and instead you let them do that
Just drive on this team
He did
Feels like we should be up more
Iowa St is no pushover so far. Gotta make shots!
Get the W
TCU UP 22!!!
Tcu up 14 at half
Tenn did not look good at all. So many misses
Officiating in this UK Tenn game is wow
No Fran tho I hope. It's a bit of a win
Let's beat them. The end.
@BeddieKU23 said in 2024 recruiting thread:
Not that I thought we really had a chance but 5 star PG Zoom Diallo didn't mention KU in his latest update to his recruitment. Previously had mentioned interest. Looking like a Nike kid
Diallo released his final 6 that does include KU. Think this is nothing more than a courtesy.
Kansas: “ Kansas is another one of those blue blood programs. They have a great reputation of winning basketball games and making pros. Coach Self is another one of those great hall of fame coaches and Coach Townsend has done a great job recruiting me as well. It’s a blessing being recruited by one of the blue bloods.”
Thought Jalen did a better job in the OU game of initiating contact that would get called. He basically gets fouled every time he touches the ball inside the arc and its insane its not called more. He's just so much stronger this year and I think that's played a part in why he doesn't get calls.
Huggy lost his top assistant, he was fired. Larry Harrison had been with him since 2007. Ouch. Sounds like it was admin decision
Not smart given the memo that went around to the Big-12 coaches about cracking down on physical play. KU also did a good job of forcing OU to foul them.
absolutely, as long as they only have to play offense
247 updated their rankings (not the composite)
Elmarko Jackson #23
Chris Johnson #39
Jamari McDowell #70
After the memo went out for the league to cut down on physical play we shoot 60 million free throws in a game. Officiating has hit rock bottom
Yeah with K-St playing 2 big's primarily Kevin will likely get that assignment. Johnson doesn't scare me as much as Nowell, his play of late has been out of this world. Last year we could not contain him at all on high ball screens and from what I've seen of him he's even tougher to keep in front due to his quickness and athletic ability. Lately it's been the 3 ball as well that's been dropping for him at a high rate. Juan and Bobby really have their hands full.
The other important aspect of this game that KU will have to find a way to try and control is rebounding. Their 2 big's seem to get a lot of those 50/50 balls off long misses etc that extend possessions.
Not every team has that physical defensive style of play that OU was able to slow KU down with. That's been Moser's MO even at Loyola. I know I looked at the matchup and saw OU could position for position give us fits and that's what ended up happening. If KU makes half the 21 layups they missed how much does that change the game? OU got lucky they controlled the tempo and crowd early since KU couldn't piss in any ocean.
Iowa St does play physical defensively and we play them Saturday, however I think we're going to see a different team in 2 days. I wouldn't be surprised if we find a way to play to the level that beat Indiana handily. Would be nice to travel to Manhattan for the next battle after one of those feel good games.
We'll see, I think their depth is suspect as we go forward into conference play. They have 3 good starters and 2 average guys around them. Their bench is solid because they have 2 guys coming off the bench that were starters previously. Nothing spectacular but they get enough from those guys.
In this hot start in conference play they have been so reliant on scoring from Nowell & Johnson, both that at times have played at a level I don't think is sustainable. We'll see. They are good but I'm just not sold.
We'll find out Tuesday.
They have two 1st team All Big-12 caliber players at PG and Wing. I'm stunned at the pieces around them playing at the level they have.
They have an inflated record from a weak non-conference slate, but they are going to be tough to beat. They match up well with us.
Updated Big-12 Standings.
The next 2 games are absolutely pivotal.
Yeah they didn't have good shot discipline there late but I recall them being good looks they didn't make.
Thankfully they couldn't make 3's or our matador offense to shoot FT's wouldn't have worked
He helped win the game on offense but was offensive to watch defend. He's not the answer but in home games he might be useful here and there. He seems to play ok in front of the home crowd.
Updated post OU win. What a comeback in ugly ugly fashion
Points-
KJ up over 10 ppg, insane development right before our eyes.

PER-
Zach above 0 now, yay.
Credit to OU's defensive game plan, well executed, almost worked. OU matched up extremely well with us. Hill really made it difficult for Wilson and he still got near 20 pts by the end. Guys made plays when it mattered though, as ugly as it was to watch unfold.
Hopefully they get in the layup line today and work on plays through contact. 2 games in a row with poor execution at the rim.
Watch Saturday with Iowa St in town and celebrating 125 years with coaches be a completely different team. They will be amped.
We won with our D+ offensive game and scored 79.
21 missed layups. wow
It is
Well looks like I'm only get 4 hrs of sleep tonight. Oh well that was worth it
One of the more improbable ones we've had
That's what ya get for playing piss poor offense
Sherfield holds to sell it
My God this is horrendous
Blind ref
Can't make a layup
Have to get stops and make layups and fts. OU shooting 50+% from the field
This is so ugly
