What we Learn From ku loss to Syracuse

[westcoast_ksufan]

Syracuse goes on a run from 13 down to win in OT. What was the formula switching from the 2-3 zone to a pressure man offense.

What happens ku turns the ball over many times, forces bad shots, out of position and the game becomes a track meet/ transition game where ku struggles to defend.

Great News for the Cats!!!!

Martin and staff must be salivating after seeing this!

i will meltdown if we don't drill those clowns @ bramlage.

QFMFT Fatty!

Pretty simple formula to beat ku

1) Keep Aldrich in front of you on defense and contest shots

2) Block off the twins

3) Pressure, Pressure, Pressure

4) Don't let Collins beat you

5) Make it a track meet with ku's white boys!

ku played pretty good tonight, their youth just showed down the stretch.  syracuse is a good team.
ku plays against us, like they did tonight, we get destroyed.

Agree to disagree. With our pressure D they will turn it over and if we contain Collins we should fair well against them. Frack the have Morningstar and Reed starting

with their pressure D we will turn it over.  not sure if you think our guards are more talented theirs, or why you would think that, but it's not true.
collins, reed, taylor > cob, brown, and clemente.  in the end they're much deeper in the paint with the twins and aldrich, + little when he gets healthy, and that will be difficult for our team to overcome.

I did forget about Little being out, but I still like this matchup if we can rebound and pressure. ku doesn't have the shooters of last year, Aldrich is still a TC, FP. The twins will be the X-Factor and same with Mario Little since we know little about him. Plus Clemente will be able to handle the pressure (dude started 2 underclassmen years in the ACC).

Why is Little he out right now?

[Bookcat]

I just can't get over how gay the name Morningstar really is.

is beyond words

[Leftcoast cat]

FFF, I will listen to your meltdown...and then meltdown with you.

At least I can avoid the homefront  meltdown and the call for Franks job

[Mo-Money]

ku is shooting .281 percent beyond the arc this year, mainly against non-conference nobodies, and in selfs complicated offense that is not going to cut it. ku will struggle this year. The last two years ku shoot about 40% beyond the arc allowing them to spread out a defense.

[doom]

They will be fine by February. 

[hillwalking03]

Why is Little he out right now?

Stress fracture in his leg.  Its taking a looooooooooong time to heal.  Hopefully come February Releford will also be getting minutes over Reed and Morningstar, but who knows.  Morningstar flat out sucks.

Yeah, thinking the same thing.. I love having ku's 2 white boys on the court, then they bring in shaggy hair the walk on, who Dicky V gets a hard on for, "oh here comes the shooter!!" followed by an air-ball and "must be cold coming off the bench" haha love it!

[royalswild]

They will be fine by February. 

k-state will be fine by January

[slucat]

ku's team looks like a bunch of rag-tag loosers. DickyV-ha!

[BMWJhawk]

i will meltdown if we don't drill those clowns @ bramlage.

With what team's players?

Oh, the old "you and what army" retort.  A classic.

[sonofdaxjones]

I learned that there's a lot of hate and vitriol from the squawktards towards the Cuse and JB.

ku basketball fans (and there is a difference between ku basketball fans and regular ku fans) are like a scorned chick when they lose . . . just complete vag material.

1996, 2003, 2008, jeez...Syracuse owns ku 

[fatty fat fat]

1996, 2003, 2008, jeez...Syracuse owns ku 

2001, ku trashed syracuse. bmw, can you confirm this?

87-58, second round of the dance.

Leave Ben alone, he's gone back to the Slant to get more "with whose army" material.

No 'Pad, I'm literally shaking in fear at the thought of going up against Colon, Clemente, and the rest of the DC Assault AAU basketball team.

Fred Brown takes offense to that.

3 X factors, does that not tell you something?

[westcoast_ksufan]

Twins are the same players, don't know what they can really do other than grab some boards, Little is hurt and don't know what ability he has to contribute. So at this time, they are X Factors if they suck or play bad, KSU will do very well, if they are great and contribute KSU will struggle.

I am not a violent man (though I sometimes pretend to be, you know, keep 'em thinking).  However, if you continue to bad mouth THE DC Assault, we'll have issues here.
