K-State basketball and the tipping point of the fulcrum...

[MakeItRain]

Yeah, I honestly didn't expect this. Granted, I thought we could and probably would at some point play better than we were then, but the wins over OU and BU are significant.

it's the same team.  could have easily won the texas southern and uga games, could have easily lost the ou and bu games.

Foster hasn't been in the doghouse

I'm not sure oscar's doghouse cost us the OSU game but it may have cost us the Georgia game.

True, it probably just made the osu game a bit uglier of a loss. But it's a definite difference.

Foster hasn't been in the doghouse

did pretty well with him on the bench today.

That didn't have anything to do with him sitting though. I have no idea how Nino does what he does, but damn :applause:

[The Big Train]

he's been in college for 7 years so he better have an understanding of the game

I have no idea how Nino does what he does, but damn :applause:

he makes mid-range jumpers.  it's a lost art.

[The Big Train]

I have no idea how Nino does what he does, but damn :applause:

he makes baseline mid-range jumpers.  it's a lost art.

[kso_FAN]

He's like kryptonite for Baylor's zone. He's a short corner/baseline monster.

[MakeItRain]

It's the rebounding and defense too though. He's a 6'4" power forward with limited physical tools but he is effective in a big 5 conference. He's like every Kansas 5 and 6A big but he's made himself into a quality D1 contributor, its odd.

[sys]

strong as eff.

[Skipper44]

Nino was a face up guy in HS tho and I wish he didn't cover the ball for 5 seconds after securing a dreb like he is Lu Colon

[The Big Train]

its not like we have a super high tempo offense.  secure the ball, and make a good outlet pass, we dont need more TO's

[MakeItRain]

strong as eff.

Yeah, theres that. Those Baylor forwards are freaking tanks and he had no problem banging with them.

[Skipper44]

I would like to see him do it when we are on one of those horrible droughts that Posse documents all too well

[michigancat]

nino plays really hard

[420seriouscat69]

nino plays really hard

He's fun to watch. Sweetest jumper we've had from 10  ft in quite sometime.

And this is the end of the story if we pretend MF2's attitude and effort hasn't changed since the benching...

[dal9]

even the gum is gone, innit?

ppl always wanna point at what oscar isn't doing. I like to look at the other side. What a turnaround. This guy can coach!

[Stevesie60]

If oscar could coach then we wouldn't have lost half the non-con games that we did. You know that, right?

[Mixed-Nutz]

I remember getting hammered by KU Nino's freshmen year and Nino coming in and giving T-Rob all he could handle. He has a good combination strength, quickness and motor.

I agree Wack. They play to well when oscar can keep their heads screwed on straight.

As long as  oscar can keep his own head screwed on straight. Just sayin'

The benching was stupid and didn't work. He was benched for the second half against Georgia, we lost. He was benched against OSU, he played his worst game ever, was completely checked out on the bench, and we lost. He played more minutes against TCU, OU, Tech, and Baylor, played better and we won all of those games. He played better because he is very talented, he played more minutes, and he was engaged. It seems obvious to me that looking at the OSU and Georgia games are striking examples of the benching not working, but your confirmation bias doesn't allow you to see the obvious. There is plenty of praise on these boards for oscar today, praising him for this is disingenuous and stupid.
