Hell yeah we do.  I would like to see more flagrants from Luis.  The opp should never get a clean look in the lane.  We have four "bigs" (luis, darren, jam, ron) = 20 fouls to give in the paint.  It would be stupid not to use them.

Wrong, 5th means you are decent and beat the teams you should.  That placing means there are 7 teams below you in the standings.  Our 1st 4 games included the two teams leading the conference, one of which was on the road, one pretty salty team on the road, and a bad home loss.  The last 5 we are definitely playing better ball and have played a little easier part of the schedule.  But, middle of the road teams should have few they win they shouldn't, and a few the lose they shouldn't.  Right now the Cats have found a good mix to be a decent team despite an inconsistent offense.  But, they have been playing some, at times, outstanding defense, hitting the boards hard, and are finding a decent mix on the offensive end.  And they are playing mentally tough basketball, which all combines for the success they have had.  Who do you think below KSU in the rankings is better?
