TCU isn't a huge home win for Kansas........Kansas always has special guests and honorees at halftime........it wasn't terribly emotional for them to beat TCU......both teams have a quick turnaround......
There are several reasons to take ISU tonight, but none of those mentioned above is a good one.
The biggest reason to take ISU is the match-up problem they present for KU. They spread the floor and have a center who can hit three's.....this makes it tough on Withey. If Kansas takes Young off the floor and goes small they can counter that on their end of the floor. Iowa State didn't defend Young and double on Withey in the first match-up. Kansas changed their plan in OT and won going away......will this game play out the way most of regulation did in Lawrence, or will it go as the overtime went. I feel a lot of this hinges on Kansas' personnel moves for the game.
Ben McElmore is not a smart player 
What would possibly make you say this? His low shot volume, his willingness to run the offense, his solid defensive game and willingness to play defense? Ben McElmore is probably one of the brighter players in the Big 12 when it comes to basketball sense.....
