The two sides tipped off in an evening matchup that was likely viewed by a number of interested viewers, as each team entered the night ranked in the top 25 of the latest coaches poll. Did Kansas coach Bill Self see his team rebound after suffering their first defeat in Big 12 play?
Did Iowa State coach T. Otzelberger's squad continue its fast start to the season, one it doesn't seem many expected to see? How did the crowd react when Roy Williams was recognized? Stats: kubball pic. The Jayhawks nearly suffered another loss, but thanks to a late shot from Dajuan Harris Jr.
The Jayhawks have a six-point lead with less than four minutes left, but it's not clear if they have the momentum they need to top the Cyclones. Iowa State is still in this one, and Kansas keeps making some odd mistakes that lead to opportunities for points for the Cyclones.
David McCormack has seen some extended time for Kansas after not playing at all for much of the second half. He's had some positive and negative moments. It's clear that Bill Self still might not be sure with what he wants to do with the 5-spot.
Kansas saw Jalen Coleman-Lands exit the floor during this stretch with left and the Jayhawks leading He took some sort of hit to the face, it appears, that led to a flagrant foul on an Iowa State player eventually after a review. And once play was stopped, he made his way off the floor toward the locker room. Right now, Iowa State is on a scoring drought that's nearly three minutes long.
The Cyclones have also only made one of their last seven attempts from the field. Kansas isn't necessarily playing lights out offensively.
It's not shooting that much better from the field than Iowa State. However, the Jayhawks aren't turning the ball over as regularly as they did in the first half and that's giving the Cyclones far less extra chances. It looks as if this could very well be a close one all the way to the end, with Iowa State not looking to fold as Kansas takes control in the second half.
It'll be interesting to see how much the Jayhawks rely upon David McCormack. He hasn't played yet in the second half and only played in the first half. The Jayhawks are on a run to start the second half, and another 3-pointer from Ochai Agbaji has led to another timeout from the Cyclones. Agbaji is up to 18 points on the night. And Iowa State is 1-for from the field in the second half with an 0-for-3 mark from behind the arc.
The Cyclones have still yet to make a shot from the field in the second half, missing their first seven. The Jayhawks haven't hit a field goal in two and a half minutes, but are playing well enough defensively that it hasn't been much of an issue. It's helped that Kansas has yet to turn the ball over at all in the second half, and Iowa State has done so twice.
In the first half, the Jayhawks had turned the ball over 10 times and the Cyclones had done so seven times. Kansas came out of halftime with a starting five of Dajuan Harris Jr. And just a bit more than a minute into the second half, Iowa State has already been forced to call a timeout. Kansas is leading after a quick, run. A 3-pointer from Braun is what was the final moment prior to the timeout. He's up to nine points. Agbaji is still the leader for the Jayhawks, at 13 points.
After all that, only down 2 for kubball pic. Now it's Iowa State calling a timeout, as Kansas is down just three points now with a bit more than four minutes left in the first half. The Jayhawks have made five of their last six shots from the field, including one big bucket just now from Jalen Wilson.
Kansas is now shooting 45 percent from the field, after starting the game much worse. Points off turnovers is still a key area to watch, with how Iowa State has had the advantage there to this point.
However, it's a positive thing for Kansas that it's down how much it is with how poor it's done in points off turnovers to this point. Evening it out would put the Jayhawks in the lead moving forward. The Cyclones have led by as many as nine points early, but it seems as if the Jayhawks are starting to grow more comfortable now.
