Yes.

I don't have a problem with being encouraged by a team that is playing much closer to the level I expected before this season. I think this team has improved a ton since that terrible stretch in December, I just hope that awful basketball doesn't cost us a chance at the dance. I think this team is playing and being coached a solid level right now and we can win 10 or 11 league games if this continues.

But of course no excuses at this point, now we have to go out and win a lot of tough games.

No.

I'm  :bracketmouse: with a moral victory tonight. We aren't making the tournament but we are playing representative basketball and not embarrassing ourselves. What we thought about this team in the preseason is totally invalid. We are just 17 days removed from seeing just how bad this team can be. Our goals for this season are different. Don't embarrass the school, keep the home court streak alive, NO WEDNESDAYS, and win a couple in the NIT. With that in mind tonight was fine, would have been great to finish but we didn't. I'll take this as opposed to what we've recently been exposed to.

I can give you a :thumbs: and a :cheers: on that. We definitely agree much more than we differ at this point.

Not giving up on the tournament.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

The real post season is still in play. I'm not going to dog this team for this performance, but the 50/50 ball opportunities killed us tonight. Up 4 with 6 to play, Foster shot that NBA 3, that was the game changer to me (he missed). He makes that, we're ballin. This team is playing above their talent and that's all I can ask for. If MIR can't accept 9-3 for K-State football, I'm not giving up on a tourney experience for this team yet.

CBI is worse
This team isn't going to the CBI. :dubious: Huggins and Frank have been to more NIT's than oscar has with this team.

oscar is an expert at lowering expectations.

That is my main reason for not wanting him as our basketball coach.

K-State's situation reminds me of this ISU team: http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/team/schedule/_/id/66/year/2005/iowa-state-cyclones

They hit their stride after being 8-8 at one point in the season.

Me either.  Season is huge disappointment if we don't make it.  Obviously, if we play 14 or so more games like tonight, we are in easy.

I think ISU is winning the league and going to Final Four.  They are just stacked and aren't even playing remotely close to their potential, yet.

I don't think they are very good defensively.

Long time no post.  Had a binger after this game to drown how pissed I was.  I show up for work and had to work some cognitive behavioral therapy on a client wearing a Cyclones shirt.  I almost refused.  The effed up teen said the only thing positive in his life are the Cyclones and I asked him if he went to any football games this year.  He started crying and I felt victorious.
