Title: Hard to believe we lost
Post by: kso_FAN on March 19, 2011, 10:47:44 PM
   Pace   PPP   eFG%   TO%   OR%   FTR
KSU   57   1.15   52.1%   14.1%   32.1%   45.8%
UW   57   1.23   51.0%   8.8%   27.6%   46.0%

chum's thread pretty much sums it up. We choked the game away the last 8 minutes.

We played right at Wisconsin's pace.  It's hard to beat a good team on a neutral floor if you're playing the game they want you to play.

losing to an very good team at a neutral site by 5 is never a choke.


agree that kstate had a couple opportunities to make the game harder for wisc. when they had the six point lead.  and other opportunities down the stretch.  no one ever plays a perfect game, wisc. didn't either.

it was a fantastic game though, by both teams.

i can't believe we actually had a shot to win it and that our bigs stayed clear of foul trouble for the most part. wisky is an awful matchup for us. pretty impressed with the q@s tonight. now it's time to hibernate until K-Stateketball is worth a chit again (2012? 2013?).

this.  thought we did, for the most part, a good job with them.  i mean, the ginger for them was the difference.  he misses two shots or doesn't get a few boards that he got (i lost it on the one where he blatantly shoved jamar out of the way right infront of the ref) and we win.

No, it is okay to play at their pace.  But it's a disadvantage.

Over the course of the season, taking care of the ball has been a weak point.  It's always a possibility that it won't be in that game, but the odds probably aren't in your favor.

This was the game Wisconsin wanted to play.  They hit about 50% from three and they got to the line as much as we did.  I bet if there's crap drawn up somewhere on a whiteboard in the locker room, you'd see these on there somewhere.

Choke was probably strong. I just thought we had plenty of chances and didn't take advantage. Frustrating.

We weren't going to speed up Wisconsin. Nobody does. Pace was fine.

How do you create pace then?

We pushed the ball as much as possible against Wisconsin. Unless you turn them over, you have no chance at creating pace.

Jake just didn't get enough help. When they called that tacky 2nd foul and he had to switch off the point the defense fell apart. When he wasn't in the game, no one else looked to make a play offensively. And when he was, they waited for him to make a play. And that being said, we still played really well, considering..

Yea I have no problem saying they are the better team, I think it was very clear.  If Jake hadn't of gone apeshit on them it would have been a sizeable loss.

We pushed the ball as much as possible against Wisconsin. Unless you turn them over, you have no chance at creating pace.

I'm not saying we could create pace.   You are correct that no one can speed them up.  I was actually really impressed with our outlets after defensive rebounds. I'm saying that because we played at their pace (voluntarily or involuntarily) it was a disadvantage to us because of what you pointed out in your post just a couple of spots up in this thread.

Wisconsin had a significant chance to win this game if they didn't turn the ball over and kept the pace low (check), hit a high 3Pt rate (check), and they got to the line as much (or more) than we did (check).  When you're playing a team that, statistically, doesn't shoot as well as you do from the foul line (and let's face it, no one shoots as well as they do from the foul line), that's + points for them.  When they shoot a high percentage from 3, it's going to matter more because of the lack of possessions (as illustrated by their extremely high efficiency).

I'm going to give our guys a hell of a lot of credit.  They played Wisky straight up and took their best shot when they played textbook Whisky ball.  And it was almost an Herculean effort from Jake that nearly single-handedly beat a damn good team that played the exact game they wanted to play.

I'm not being critical.  I'm just saying that this is why I didn't like going up against Wisconsin in the first place.

There really isn't anything you can do about it.  You can rush shots on offense, but they will not let you speed them up on defense.  That is what is so tough, especially for a team like the Cats.  We play such aggressive defense that it is hard work running around defending for 35 seconds a possession.  They don't just stand around either.  They make you work the whole time.

See my post above.  I know we can't speed them up.  I never said, "Hey, we need to speed them up."

I'm saying that when you fight a guy that wants to drag you into the mud with him and fight his way, you're at a disadvantage.  It's not one you can negate.  It's just something you have to overcome.

No, it's cool.  I kind of got over some of the anger/disappointment and ultimately started really appreciating what these guys were able to do tonight.

I only watched Wisconsin play a couple of games this year, but I'd say this was probably one of their best games of the year all things considered.  I'm proud of the guys for stepping up and playing their game and nearly beating them while doing it.

There's a reason Bo Ryan has the highest winning percentage in Big Ten history.  Whisky ball is a [redacted].

What makes it a bitch is that it's a repeatable system.  It's like a rock solid business model that you can just plug and play into an organization with high turnover.

They'll never win a national title because their best players will never be as good as a lot of other teams.  But they're going to win a shitload of games because it's the same goddamn crap night in and night out.
