I do Not root for KU in the tournament as it doesn't change a thing for ISU. They are what they are and by next season all will be forgotten as far as what ISU's schedule will look like. In the pre-conference season, I certainly like to see them beat other conferences because it directly affects ISU basketball. Once the tourney starts I love to see them lose ASAP.
Haven't formed an opinion yet on KSU. They didn't put a shiv in my back when I told them to get out of our house down in KC, so there's that. lol. Most the other teams I'm good with, cause I've drank with their fans and they were mostly fun. Unlike the trash you see when you go to play at the corralville chickenhawks.
