I'm not putting this with the stadium stuff in the royals thread because this is focusing on the chiefs. This is truly embarrassing.

Regarding the Kat Williams vids in the comments, is Kat saying he turned down work with Diddy because he did not want to have sex with diddy?

yes

Interesting how this season lowered Tang on Louisville's list. He appeared to be most fans #1 until midseason.

This was a narrative driven solely by one blogger, who's rarely correct. He did the same damn thing with Dusty May, often putting him and Tang on the same lists. He didn't have Tang or May going to Michigan. I knew trilly was making up crap when he insisted that tang was leaving K-State for Louisville literally as Tang was moving his elderly parents from Florida to Kansas, in the dead ass of winter.

MIR said it - Sundell and the Glenns were pretty bad yesterday (especially in the 2nd half) and their minutes/usage rates all year have been off the charts (Sundell and Jaelyn). That's on Mittie for not getting Sides and Walker - two pretty talented players - more involved in the rotation, especially earlier in the year.

There could/should be a reckoning coming this offseason into next year for those three. Sundell has to take better care of the ball (less than a 2:1 assist to TO ratio this year) and she has to be more assertive offensively. The Glenns need to produce offensively, especially Jaelyn. Ideally, their minutes/usage would go down by default next year with the assumption of Walker/Sides getting better. But, if they can't step up/improve, then more minutes should be lost. Jaelyn was 37% from 3 pt last year and was barely 30% this year. Has to be better because we need her scoring.

We have a real issue this off season. If he sticks with the Missouri 3, we run the real risk of losing Sides, Walker, and or Hess, not to mention the two other combo guards we have that didn't play this year. He screwed this roster up by how it was constructed, made it even worse by not giving Walker and Sides more minutes. I don't know how he's going to convince all 8, yes 8 combo guards we have on the roster to stay, but good luck to him. Our only signee is also a 6'0" combo guard. Dude just got a roster full of the same damn player.

This half is a bit of an indictment against our coaching staff. They keep trying to force the ball into players who aren't open. No adjustments

That sums up Mittie's entire career... he will not have a better team than this year and we couldn't even make it to the 2nd weekend.
Deb Patterson 2.0. Why didn't Maupin see more minutes?
Not an x's and o's expert but I think she would have been a liability on defense against their bigs.

Correct. She gotta hit the weights.

I mean our 1,2,3 seeds are still alive.
Lol we're only going to get two (if we're lucky) into the Sweet Sixteen out of EIGHT entries.  The ACC and Big East were right to complain about us gaming the system. Exposed

I don't want you to yell at me but I'd like to point out that you do this every year. You did it in '21 & '22 too.
That's ok. You can yell at me if I'm being obnoxious.  It won't hurt my feelings.

I don't want to yell at you, I just don't get the thought process, I never get the thought process. These teams play to their seed more often than not and the big 12 has recently been dominant in the final four. It seems weird to hold the entire conference accountable for Self having a heart attack last year and them being overseeded this year.

It looks like the only thing we practiced this season was passing it into Lee even if she was getting blocked almost every time. I feel like we had other players worthy of getting a play called for them a time or two, but maybe I'm wrong.

I was pretty critical of Mittie on twitter, and I stand by that, but there were plenty of opportunities for the guards to make plays but they didn't. Sundell and the Glenn twins were completely psyched out in the second half. We should have seen the freshmen guards but Mittie didn't recognize that Lee and Gregory were the only two starters who didn't shrink in the moment.

That Oregon/creighton game was wild. Like if someone told me that Oregon wouldn’t attempt a free throw until there was like a minute left in the game, and also only 2 guys would be responsible for all of their 2nd half points I would ask how badly did they get blown out?

I fell asleep, how did it compare to KSU / Xavier?

Not nearly as good. The second overtime was over a minute in. Oregon gave up a quick 8-0 run and they literally then walked the ball up the court with their heads down and instead of calling a time out, Dana Altman just yelled at his players then the point guard bricked a 30 footer. Altman had an all-time coaching howler at the end of regulation and in the second overtime.

Not to legislate this in a million different places but this team's watchability wasn't horrible, just tough compared to what they were last year. This year's team was a garden variety middling college basketball team.

The NCAA app and their website might be the best sports/streaming platform ever created. It's crazy that a one a year thing is 100x better than the straight up garbage ESPN+ platform.

I discovered that the app has a channel that plays one shining moment on a loop, I watched all of them, some observations.
1. UCONN is somehow underrated, they're pretty easily the best college baseball program since the 90's. I think they are hurt by not having a rival and being essentially out of sight during the regular season.
2. The 2009 one shining moment was probably the most emotional one, for K-State fans anyway. People hate it because Jennifer Hudson sung it but they had a shot of Denis sitting on the floor crying after the Butler game, then just a few seconds later they show Huggins on the floor comforting Dasean Butler when he tore his ACL at the end of that elite 8 game.
3. The NCAA/CBS made an all-time one shining moment in place of the missing 2020 tournament, and it's very good.
4. The basketball is clearly better now but the personalities of the game and tension on the floor have been very much muted.

Cam and Dorian were at the game yesterday with most of the men's team. The only notable player I didn't notice was Tylor.

The most fun K-State basketball team in my life.

Look at my guy N'Guessan :love:

It is great, I do wish they didn't play an ad before they show the action, that's annoying as hell when flipping between late and close games.

Only other beef is that you can't watch the CBS games in the app, but, otherwise, it helps address the max logins with YTTV when you're trying to watch 4+ games at once

you can if you login with your provider credentials, maybe you can't with YTTV, dunno, but I definitely watched a CBS game on the app earlier today

Like if we roll out Ames and two new transfer guards with Buddy and Colbert we are going to get rough ridin' torched every night. There just aren't any combination of bigs currently on the roster where if we play them both at the same time we aren't playing 3 on 5 offensively.

I'm not on Twitter so can't confirm, but I heard Buddy Rich removed all the K-State stuff from his socials.

inaccurate, when it comes to twitter and instagram anyway

more than rumors, he is gone

meh, it is what it is. He needed a reduced role anyway, him playing 36 minutes a game is crazy

Do you think Kaluma will transfer or go pro?

ummmm, I'd say go pro

What makes you think Finister is going? 

Literally just guessing, I don't know crap

It'll be interesting to see who returns.  We'll probably have a big turnover and that's probably not a terrible thing.

We will lose a ton.  This is going to be nuts.  Would love to keep buddy.  The rest are just parts

wut? Buddy should be like 6th or 7th on the priority list of players to return. My guess is, we'll have 6 or 7 defections, counting the three players who are out of eligibility.
What are your predictions / guesses, MIR?

I think the defections will be
Finister
Manning
Kaluma
out of eligibility are
McNair
Lindsey
Perry

I think Glover and Rich are guys I think could go either way, I don't have a good read on them.

I would be stunned if any of the following left
Ames
Carter
Jones
N'Guessan, he may go pro, but he ain't transferring
Colbert
