Keys to tommorrow's victory

[PowercatPosse]

1. We need to win the rebound battle.  Tech plays small a lot and they are not a good rebounding team

2. Contain JJ and Zeno.  Those 2 are our version of CMart and Dave.   Akeem and Stewy will likely get the defensive assignments and they did a better than ave. job in Manhattan

3. Harris as a 3rd scorer and Stewy as a 4th scorer.  We need these 2 guys to make some 3s tommorrow.  CMart has been playing great and Dave has some nice matchups........ so getting Lance and Clent involved will be crucial

4. Don't let Tech live at the line.  They shto 46 FTs today.  They are a great FT shooting team and that also could meen us being in foul trouble, which we can't afford


I feel very good about this game!!!
K-State  72  Tech 65

I don't think we should try to make a living behind the arc.  It's a dice roll for us.  We really need Hoskins to get in and score, and maybe get murder and Yay to drive it in and then see if the looks get wider open.

I also feel good about the game.

To me Hoskins has to step up. He has seemed to play nonchalant the last few games. He has a good matchup for this game I expect him to play well.

I think we need Patzwald to heat it up from tre land

Defense and Rebounding.  That simple. 

[doom]

Eh... but we can't stink it up in shooting like we've done in the past.  We need to bring 40 minutes of well played ball on both ends.  D and boards will be crucial, but we can outrebound them and play decent D and lose if we suck it up from the field.

[Cincy4life14]

Just need one guy to get hot, and the rest not to take dumb shots, which from the little I've seen of K-State this year, they like to do.

[Pett]

Don't let 6'9" Darryl Dora get open for threes....whenever he starts getting hot he is lethal from three point strike.....

Contain JJ & Zeno....let other TT players try to step up and make shots...

Actually this team is pretty efficient on the offensive end.  Sometimes we just go super cold.

just win baby!

Aggressive play without fouls will be our key with Tech going 2 days in a row.  I think any team that faces KSU, aTM, or ku rested with a day of play on their own is at a definate disadvantage.  KSU by 10+.  This is a statement game for us!

Aggressive play without fouls...

If we can stay out of foul trouble (C-Mart, D-Hosk?), we got this one.  No way Lance, Martin, and Wright combine for only...what...13 or so points again this time around.

1. We need to win the rebound battle.  Tech plays small a lot and they are not a good rebounding team

---  We won the rebound battle 39 to 25

2. Contain JJ and Zeno.  Those 2 are our version of CMart and Dave.   Akeem and Stewy will likely get the defensive assignments and they did a better than ave. job in Manhattan

---  They shot 12 for 32 (37%) for 33 pts.   Zeno was an absolute non factor

3. Harris as a 3rd scorer and Stewy as a 4th scorer.  We need these 2 guys to make some 3s tommorrow.  CMart has been playing great and Dave has some nice matchups........ so getting Lance and Clent involved will be crucial

---  Harris was HUGE for us with 20 pts and 4 3-pointers.   Stewy was under the weather so Blake stepped up as our 4th scorer

4. Don't let Tech live at the line.  They shto 46 FTs today.  They are a great FT shooting team and that also could meen us being in foul trouble, which we can't afford

--- Tech only shot 7 FTs and we avoided major foul trouble
