We have no inside game so far.

So the refs whistles work at the KU end of the court.

Terrible offensive shots and getting accosted by KU defense with refs choking on the whistles.

KU on the other hand has had 3 offensive fouls without a doubt where nothing is called... twice it was a McCormick over the back rebound... his hands go clean over our players head and the refs don't care.

10 for KU flopped so hard on that "foul" from Mayer... wow... his head whipped like he was murdered.

Clearly, Kansas is a much better team. 7 minutes in to the game, and they've had ZERO fouls!

Home Cookin!

They finally call KU for a moving screen...after allowing the previous 3 go uncalled... about ****ing time.

Really bad rotations on D and our 3 best players are shooting 25% right now. Gonna have to get better at both.
IowaBear

Our offense is anemic, refs aren't helping. But we aren't helping ourselves. Just horrible offense
jdrs
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Glad the refs know what a moving screen looks like.
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
There we go........Davion hopefully is getting the offense into the flow now.
DanaDane

Ball movement getting MUCH better.

It all starts on the defensive end with this team. Just the way I like it!

Need to keep attacking Mccormack. Without him KU has no chance.
DanaDane

Wow! Beautiful play b/w Teague and Vital. Nice backdoor!

Wait... so you can lunge elbow a guy down in a screen and get away with that or was my stream not clear enough to see only a run in to him? That's possible as the steam has been going in and out in quality the last few min
DanaDane

Butler with 2 fouls; Mayer with 2. Flagler and even Cryer may have to come up big tonight before it's over.

Forearm to the face of Cryer, net refs call NOTHING on it? That was NOT incidental contact. Wow!
