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.
11:08 — 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.
11:00 — Fran Fraschilla and Ron Franklin are calling the game again. Do they do any other games besides Kansas games?
11:26 — Fraschilla said Kansas had no outside shooting on the court. Freshman guard Mario Chalmers immediately hits a three. Nice insight, Fran.
11:15 — Gonzaga standout Adam Morrison no longer has the nicest mustache in college basketball. Iowa State coach Wayne Morgan wins by a landslide.

11:45 - Iowa State's Anthony Davis has missed three lavups 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 adds 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.

Key plays:
Freshman forward Julian Wright got the Jayhawks going on their first possession of the game, driving into the lane and throwing down a dunk.
Wright would later score in the opening minutes with an alley-oop pass from sophomore guard Russell Robinson. Robinson would hit freshman guard Brandon Rush for another dunk a few possessions later.
After sitting on the bench for most of the first half, Robinson scored two quick points early in the second half and led the Jayhawks to a 17-3 run.
On that run, freshman guard Mario Chalmer sparked Kansas by stealing the ball and going coast-to-coast for the layup plus the foul.
Quotes:
"Their best offense was us turning the ball over today. Especially when they had their run." Kansas coach Bill Self said about Iowa State.
"We got pretty nervous, but we had a whole 20 more minutes to play." Rush said about how the team felt during Iowa State's first-half run.
"I told them that we are still better off than when we started." Self said about his team's three-point lead at halftime.
"I was thinking he was going to come back to me. I thought he might put me back in the first half,' Robinson said about sitting on the bench after picking up two fouls.

Freshman guard Brandon Rush holds the ball away from an Iowa State defender Saturday in Ames. Rush scored 20 of Kansas' 95 points.
Kansas claims third place Texas still ranks at top
Kansas moved up two places from last week to claim the third spot this week. The Jayhawks never trailed behind the Iowa State Cyclones on Saturday. Kansas will play its next two games at home against Texas Tech and Oklahoma. Freshman guard Brandon Rush continues to have a successful freshman campaign — he is shooting more than 50 percent from long range this season. Kansas only trails first-place Texas by one game.
Editor's Note: The Kansan Big 12 Power Rankings are voted on by Ryan Colaianni and Daniel Berk, Kansas men's basketball writers, as well as Eric Sorrentino, sports editor, and Erick R. Schmidt, associate sports editor.
Despite Oklahoma defeating Texas Saturday night, the voters kept Texas at the top spot for the second week of the Big 12 basketball power rankings. Key losses against Missouri and Nebraska factored into the Sooners not grabbing the number one spot. Texas has only lost one conference game.
Missouri dropped a steep seven spots this week to 11th in the power rankings. The Tigers have dropped four of their last five conference games. The most recent came in a 65-52 loss to Nebraska in Lincoln. Thomas Gardner continued to pour in points. He had 22 in the game off a 6-of-12 performance from three-point range.
Baylor still has not won a Big 12 Conference game. The Bears are 0-6 and continue to hold down the 12th and final spot of the power rankings. If Baylor wants to win a game, it should take advantage of the opportunity in the next three games — at home against Kansas State and Missouri and on the road at Nebraska. After this stretch, Baylor will play on the road at Oklahoma and Texas.
