Only a garbage time three at the buzzer kept Kansas from allowing fewer than a point per possession against Iowa State, but there were still some positives (and yes, some negatives) to take away from the performance on that end of the floor last night. For starters, the Cyclones shot just 47 percent on twos and even though it seemed (to me anyway) like they rebounded nearly every one of their own missed shots, Iowa State only grabbed 30 percent of their misses. Couple that with Kansas forcing turnovers on 22 percent of Iowa State’s possessions, and it was a pretty good effort from the Jayhawks, all things considered.
