Not the ideal way to start the conference schedule.

The pessimist in me thinks that 3 wins is is ceiling.

The optimist in me thinks that 8 wins is the max.

We just take so many bad shots and the coaches can't get it under control.

What happened to Davion Bradford, he looks like the monstars stole his skill. It's not just the pneumonia either. He has no lift, no quickness at all, and the most damning his hands seem to be much worse. Nijel looks worse too but the regression isn't as glaring as it is with Davion.

That sounds about right. I think 13 wins is probable, 15 is ceiling. And against good teams we’ll be lucky to have a competitive game

problem is the offense couldn't get going with a traditional 5, but then without one rebounding was a mess...i guess on net though, the small ball lineup did better
Title: Re: Conference Games 2022

That hasn't been the standard this year though. I think Kaosi has been really good and not only can't the small lineup rebound but more importantly, they can't guard. Nowell has actually been a really good rebounder and obviously we missed that tonight. I think the biggest problem with the small lineup is that Ish is a finesse player and he's not great on defense, especially against an even decent big

Didn't watch, but how does a college basketball team score only 22 points in the first half. How can offense be this hard? Looked like we had 12 points with 7 min left in the first half. That is just putrid.

That's a pretty important part of defending. 1.15 ppp in the second half isn't good, it just happens that we were bombing in a ton of 3s.

i missed a chunk of the game, but i remember they had their share of tossing crap up and somehow going in.

it seemed like the rebounds were more from effort and bad hands than height. just playing hot potato out there. it shouldn't be that stressful when an opponent misses a shot.

 Ish got 2 rebounds. That's clearly not acceptable for a 6-9 guy and his lack of production killed us with OU's second-chance points.  He had a nice game in other areas, but his want to on the boards has to improve.

We literally went like 7 and a half minutes or something like that without a field goal to start the game.  I'd say that had a pretty big impact on the outcome of the game.  My daughter's 6 year old team runs a better offense than the Cats.

Normally, not much. Tech has no size on their front line at all and they looked pretty gassed playing a third game this week and a second in less than two days. For teams with a true big Massoud is completely overmatched.

Oh for sure, but not just that, I was also thinking about his hustle/strip turnovers he was created, especially those last 5ish minutes of the game, it seemed like be was everywhere on defense making guys 7 inches taller than him look slow and silly. He just seemed to be in the middle of every single TT possession, it was incredible

Sucks, truly sucks to have dropped so many close games, but clearly now at full strength this team is going to need to be taken seriously.

True, but having Ish out there as the 4 or 5 was about the worst lineup we used last night. He is possibly the worst rebounder I have ever seen at his size.

I really liked how they attacked the basket so much. I think they were even unlucky too, I remember so many rimouts. And how the eff we shoot 10 less free throws with that style of play? Meanwhile they were shooting fadeaway midrange shots like prime Michael Jordan

earlier this season you could tell something was definitely weighing this team down. I guess that thing was hair.

I can't remember ever thinking "Wow! It's getting kind of loud at the Texas game.", but it happened last night. They're really getting behind Beard there.

Is he less interested in rebounding than Steven Hurt?

Yea but did you see Beard walking up and down the bench trying to get the crowd pumped up?  They were going to remain in dead fish mode if he hadn't noticed the major momentum shift in K-State's favor.  I truly think it prevented K-State from grabbing a 5pt+ lead the rest of the game.

Nah, not this team and not last night. Massoud isn't even a power forward, we are out there with 5 guards out there, thank God that Smith has some jyc in him. Going small with this team is a disaster and when we try it on Saturday it's going to be embarrassing. Hopefully oscar gets out of it quickly.

It’s amazing that oscar has allocated so many roster spots to bigs and yet not one of them is even good.

To be fair, one of them has regressed possibly more than any player in college basketball, one is clearly getting better, and the other 5 was a clear miss.

We're going to lose an assload of close games, just prepare yourselves for it now. We'll go 5-13 and lose like 8 of those by 1-3 possessions.

We were all warned  :cry:

After seeing so much potential last year, It’s really disappointing to see Bradford such a pear-shaped loser

Seriously, did Bradford even see the weight room in the off season? I fully expected it would be a priority to get some of baby fat off him and muscle him up. Instead he put the freshman 20 on his ass. Who is the strength and conditioning coach? But really the wasted summer falls on Oscar, who can't get a Colon out of Bradfort (this is not surprising. He is a pathetic big man coash who mumped up JO his senior year, too).

He had that weight on him before he got pneumonia and he's been in a power conference college basketball program for nearly 3 months since he was cleared to play.

I'm actually not as worried about the weight though. There have been plenty of chubby ballers who could play and play well. He had some explosiveness and that's completely gone. What's even more troubling to me is his lack of confidence and lack of awareness. Last year he was decisive and now he just isn't that at all. Even on the dunk he had yesterday, he paused up look to see who, if anyone, was near him. The guards repeatedly got at him and Ez to go up quickly and keep the ball up when they get feeds, and he was so good at that last year. He had a three possession stretch, two defensive and one offensive, where he was totally lost didn't know where his man was, didn't know where the ball was, and didn't seem to know what set we were in. He's totally lost right now
