Fan Notebook: Kansas at Iowa State

By By CJ Moore

Monday, January 30, 2006

Who scheduled this game at 11 a.m.? Kansas is 2-0 this season in 11 a.m. games, however. Here’s hoping the Hilton magic doesn’t wake up until 2 p.m.

10:58 a.m. — Both Digger Phelps and Jay Bilas pick Iowa State. It’s time to embrace the underdog.

11:00 — Fran Fraschilla and Ron Franklin are calling the game again. Do they do any other games besides Kansas games?

11:08 — Kansas coach Bill Self does the motor boat with his lips because of four early turnovers. Self’s hair will either fall out or go gray by the end of this season

11:15 — Gonzaga standout Adam Morrison no longer has the nicest mustache in college basketball. Iowa State coach Wayne Morgan wins by a landslide.

11:26 — Fraschilla said Kansas had no outside shooting on the court. Freshman guard Mario Chalmers immediately hits a three. Nice insight, Fran.

11:45 — Iowa State’s Anthony Davis has missed three layups in a row. I’m now a fan of Davis.

11:50 — Halftime. Kansas has 13 first-half turnovers, has taken 10 fewer field goal attempts than Iowa State and is still winning 38-35, thanks to a 9-of-10 performance from the free throw line.

12:21 p.m. — Russell Robinson hits a three-point shot. He’s taking over. Kansas is +17 with Robinson in the game.

12:43 — Iowa State’s players are about to get in a fight with each other after sophomore forward Darnell Jackson gets fouled. It’s usually a good sign when the other team is fighting.

12:46 — Self finally smiled after Robinson’s bank shot. That makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

12:52 — Freshman forward Julian Wright (52 percent on the season) goes 6-of-6 from the line. Jinx! He missed the very next free throw attempt.

1:00 — Fran just referenced the Missouri game. Why does he have to do that?

1:07- Kansas converts 12 straight free throws down the stretch. That ended the game.

A huge victory. Kansas wins and manages to score 95 points with 21 turnovers at the same time.
