Jacob Pullen 19 points in 18 minutes...

[cas]

Um... yeah.

Frank do us all a favor and play him 25+.

[fatty fat fat]

Incredible. Has stew had 19 since his mother died?

Oh well. He's married now. Who cares about basketball?

[ksu_FAN]

Can't disagree that he shouldn't play more minutes.  Jake made some fantastic plays today.

[steve dave]

Jake is almost as good as Stew is bad

.

If that were true, Jake would be Beasley.

[BryEasy30]

He gives us the most opportunistic way to win. Anybody named Clent or Stewart are library players. I dont mind Pullen coming off the bench, In fact i prefer it. We need scoring punch off the bench and he is just that. He needs to come off the bench and play 27 or so minutes a game.

[mjrod]

For this game, Pullen did well.. should play more minutes.   The previous three games.. not so much ..

[KSUmistie]

Baby Jake saved us today (alone with Sutton's D) with his awesome play.

Thank you baby Jake!

[blackman-era-front-rower]

what the frack!  in the postgame they ask frank about pullen and he talks about a missed layup at nebraska... i just don't get it

[KSU176]

All season long Jake has needed to drive in more.  We need to use MB and BW to pull defenders away and let him go to the hoop.

Agreed.  He's at his best getting to the rim or when he's hot from 3.  But when he gets cold, he gets really cold.  He had a wide open 3 at the end that would've been a big help, but no doubt the plays at the rim he made at the end won the game.

[Bullfn33]

His performance doesn't surprise me at all.  The only thing that surprises me is that this kid hasn't been starting the entire season.  The Missouri loss over a month ago told me all I needed to know about Pullen vs. Stewart.  I mean, is there any doubt whatsoever?  Pullen oozes so much potential and makes us that much better offensively, it's a crime to leave him on the bench more than 15 minutes a game.  No comment on Stew.

What that is in the past, did he say something about Stewart missing an uncontested lay-up? That pissed me off, that is a shot that a 1st grader hits 9 out of 10.

[prplcat]

HeeHee You haven't seen many 1st grade basketball games lately have you!  I know what you mean though, complete lack of concentration.

[PurplePowerhouse]

You people getting your panties in a wad over a few postgame comments cracks me up.  It was idle post-game chatter--nothing more, nothing less.  Plus, we won the game.  I swear some of you look for stupid sh*t to  about.

[yadig?]

Jake really isn't very good defensively...i think that is why he isn't getting the minutes...imo.

[PurplePowerhouse]

Who do we have that IS worth a damn on defense...other than Sutton?  We played nasty defense during the early part of the conference schedule.  Then suddenly we went all tardish.

[swish1]

pullen is a freshman and is inconsistent.  perhaps frank doesnt want him to get overwhelmed with too much PT.

also i think frank is hard on pullen b/c he wants him to be ready to be the man next year.

[cireksu]

he's a freshman when he's good he's really good when he's not he's really not.  He'll be one of the all time greats at ksu by his senior year.

[mcmwcat]

please Jake practice well this week 

[BryEasy30]

Only 1 assist. That is a question...

you probably only have two or three more games to rely on that^... looking at the duke-unc game tonite, apparantly in the ACC you don't have to come out of the game if you make a bad play
 

[Bullfn33]

Pullen's potential >>> Stewart's anything

In other words, I'll take my chances with Pullen every day of the week.  At least he contributes if he messes up instead of just messing up and not contributing.  It's a no-brainer.  It's like Beasley vs Hansbrough for NPOY.  19 points in 18 minutes, 50% from 3-pt and no turnovers again today.  I think Martin just doesn't have the guts to give more minutes to a freshman over his senior PG.

im not entirely sure what your argument is but im sure that next year pullen will be playing a lot more minutes than he has/did this year.

well ^ thats obvious.  jake is just a great creator with the ball.  he's confident to shoot the big shot or take the big drive, and he's only a frosh.  one thing i love is, even tho martin is all over him, he's never afraid to shoot the ball.  he came in today and hit two qucik shots that really gave us some momentum.  not to mention his HUGE threes at the end of the 1st half to give us that lead. 

pullen = amazing (tonight)...(and most nights)

[CALCATA]

Incredible. Has stew had 19

Once...that's his career high.

[blackman-era-front-rower]

all i know is when he plays we are a better team with huge upside... when he doesn't, we go into a funk that is hard to break from

his best game was our best game... and yesterday he saved a game that in recent history would have been a certain road loss

our team will not play at its best in the post season (or progress farther than one or maybe two games in each tourney) if pullen doesn't have a big impact in points and minutes

Has Stew ever had 19?? Serious question btw.

Baylor??

[The1BigWillie]

Clent scored 19 against Baylor his sophomore year and 19 against MU his junior year.
