Based on today's game, it appears the current version of ISU has become what WVU was under Huggins for many years. They compensate for their lack of offensive talent by just trashing the game up as much as possible with pressure and hacking on the defensive end (to some success so far this year). Several of those 16 turnovers (lol) in the first half by KU would have been called fouls in another building. [Reply]

Thats my reference to Missouri State under Spoonhower. He never had good Div. 1 offensive talent so he knew how to coach suffocating physical defense and make every single thing on the court difficult. [Reply]

Does that mean Fran is going to start counting the deflections again?
