ISU perimeter defense should actually be good with Naz and Thomas out there - Morris is of course more than adequate. Just need to keep offenses outside of 15 feet or they will get crushed on rebounds.

A good offensive strategy against us may be to just jack up 3s and go rebound.

Oh good, ISU still has a rebounding problem.

At least UCONN lost.

If KU beats Duke we will credit Indiana for exposing our weaknesses Friday.

In that case I believe we will all put on a clappy face.

What basketball gods did Kansas piss off to start the season against Indiana and Duke?

ISU just set a school record of 130 points scored in a game, and more than doubled up on Citadel.

What a terrible set of possessions to end the game. They just chucked up 3s four times when they only needed two for the lead.

I missed the game, didn't realize they started so early. ISU losing a game by bricking non-stop threes sounds right though.

Apparently it's a good shot even when he's not open, he just keeps making 3's. My hope is he keeps shooting and they stop falling, but my fear is that they just keep going in no matter how ugly.

I am normally pretty optimistic about ISU, but they still haven't turned their shooting around this half. Something still could happen, but I'm not feeling it today.

ISU's offense has been pretty terrible the last couple minutes. Lots of wasted time and not enough ball movement.

edit: Not good last possession, and ISU gives a winnable one away. God we miss Niang.

Hell ISU struggled to hit a couple FTs against OU Saturday in 2OT. They had a 4 point lead, but OU got it down to 2 because ISU went 2-4 from the line. Luckily they then went 4-4 so they pulled away. It works better in college than pros because even good college FT shooters are way less reliable than NBA players.
