TITLETOWN - A Decade Long Celebration Of The Greatest Achievement In College Athletics History => Kansas State Basketball is hard => Topic started by: pvegs on January 09, 2014, 01:52:58 PM

...Foster scores 35??
-
car crash
-
marijuana
-
The only way we win is if we can keep the game in the 60s. Beasley dropped 39 on them in '08 and we still lost by 14.
-
Defense and Foster scoring 35, but defense first. That Clark kid for OU last night dropped 32 on KU and OU was never really a threat to win that game. So defense is going to have to be lights out, and Foster and others have to step up and make buckets.

scottwildcat will be there ('06 was his only other KSU AFH game)
Manbeck will not be there. (He is 0-5 when on press row via his twitter yesterday)
-
Wacky's buddy Sky Thomas shows up unannounced during the pregame and gives a motivational speech to end all motivational speeches. Cats lose by 10 but hold KU to their season low in points. MORAL VICTORY!!!!

We won there in '06 because we held them to 32% shooting and didn't get blown out in the first 5:00. Seems to be a pretty good formula :dunno:

Hold them under 70, Gip and DJamer combine for less than 5 first half fouls, Shane plays worth a damn, Foster does Foster things, JT turns it over twice or less, hit 75% from the FT line, and hope for the best.

I've run through every scenario in my head. Not one scenario do we lose. :Wha:
-
Our defense is the #12 adjD on kenpom. That's higher than any final Defense ranking in kenpom history for the Kansas State Wildcats.
True.
And our 10 team only allowed .91 PPP for the season and KU scored 1.27 PPP and 82 points against us in Lawrence.
Since Wooly's band of overachievers walked out of Allen Field House in 2006 (holding KU to 55 points and .83 PPP) the Cats have...
Allowed an average of 86.4 ppg and 1.26 ppp.
Only once held KU under 70 points and 1.20 ppp. (but KU held K-State to .76 ppp and 49 points)
Scored an average of 64.9 ppg and .95 ppp.
The highest point total was 77 (KU scored 103) and hightest ppp was 1.05.
Played at an average pace of 68.6 with a high of 73 possessions and a low of 63 possessions.
I hope we can change the trend, but it doesn't look good to me. Perhaps I've just seen it too much.
Granted, this is Self's "worst" defense since 05, allowing a blistering.95 ppp (#25 nationally). The 05 defense "only" finished #25 nationally as well at .93 ppp. Only one other defense finished outside of kenpom's Top 10 (#11 in 2011).
-
cheese and rise _FraidyCat, you want some cheese with that wine? I know you like stats, so try this one out: Marcus Foster is a badass 100% of the time.
I’m sorry to disappoint you (and Mike Gundy), but we’re going to win.

Bill Self was so angry after Wooly walked out with a win he clearly vowed to never lose to K-State in Lawrence again. Its just too much to overcome.

KU has really not played as a team yet this season. I honestly feel we have a better chance of beating them in Lawrence than we do in the Octagon, simply because they haven't come together as a team. With the talent they have, once they really start playing as a team they are going to be dominant.
Also, Foster is a stud. I wonder if we could get Snyder to start the cloning process on him like he has done with Lockett.

This makes me wonder if you've ever seen KSU play at AFH.

we show up and play average
lol.
the key is refs letting KSU play defense. (doubt it happens.) Probably can survive one or two starters shitting their pants. Bench has four guys that don't play scared, which will be huge in this environment.

I agree with that just based on the timing of the games. KU isn't a team right now and the first half of their conference sched is brutal which isn't going to help them at all. Add in that they have to go to Ames on Monday, I think we stand a good chance this weekend.

ERII, we say this every year.

KU goes ice cold shooting, on the order of missing at least 5 open layups.
Or maybe they play in jerseys that don't say Kansas on the front - that would help alleviate the whole piss-down-our-leg factor.
KU's inexperience and lack of cohesion aside, their size and athleticism are going to destroy us.

I like this team a lot, but they're not winning in AFH. I find it easier to accept the dick punching if I'm resigned to it before it happens.
On the bright side, I think there's a great chance we go 6-1 in the 7 games between @KU and KU at home on 2/10.

Clone 3 more Gipson so when our bigs (big, this year) get fouled out super early, KU doesn't just start throwing their weight around underneath.

I was thinking this, but then reality hit. Have the refs EVER let K-State play defense vs. KU (in AFH or anywhere else for that matter)? With the new rules on player movement, etc., expect at least two 'Cats to foul out, probably more.
Here's how we win: toupee problems. I heard there's a troop of vigilantes here at gE.com who might be up for the task of separating Self's piece from him. No way he goes on TV without it.

We're a young team - the Freshman are carrying us. They don't know to be scared walking into AFH. Hopefully Shane and Will don't tell them about past experiences.
I'm just saying that once KU gels as a team, they will be dominant. They have some impressive talent. I have yet to see them come together and play.
-
I want to believe and not be a losery fan, but that's a lot of crap we have to do according to _FAN
On the plus side at least they beat OU so they aren't on a 2st8 losing streak.
First 5 minutes is key.

If neither Embiid nor Black show up, then we have a 50% chance.

Listing it like this is harder to swallow than if _Fan just said we're gonna get dick punched need to move on. Oh wait, he also said that.
FTR our season high in 3 pt makes for a game is 12 against Tulane (in 27 attempts). Next closest is 8 makes and TCU is the only other game where we shot better than 40% 3pt.

seriously though when was the last time a "struggling" ku team didn't take out the measuring tape and a piece of chalk and tailor the finest clown suit for the wild wildcats that you've ever seen?

So how early into the game do we see Jack Krap because Gip AND DJamer are in foul trouble? I will put the line at the under 12 minutes mark of the first half
-
Have Ku miss open shots early while KSU hits some threes. They start pressing,mentally, KSU plays good defense and Ku's guards start turning it over. That will work probably for a half, then someone needs to go bonkers offensively.
This is exactly what I foresee happening the first half, fwiw. We are a terrible first half team, unlike most of our teams, historically.
-
I am a pessimist, but KU really has been terrible this season. They can't close out games. They either win by a lot or lose close games.

This really isn't true. We don't win by a lot. We aren't very good playing with a lead. As a result, many of the games we have won have been close games. Of course, the games we have lost have been close games, too, so there's that.

I don't know why we do this to ourselves every year.
Because we are k-state fans, MixBerryCrunch. And goddamit, we have zeal.

Who is our best candidate to go bonkers? Southwell? Foster?

Did some quick number crunching of the last 6 years @ AFH because I rough ridin' love numbers. We are 2 completely different teams before and after the 8:30 mark of the 1st half.
| KU Avg Pts Scored | KSU Avg Pts Scored | KU PPM | KSU PPM |

First step to winning? Get your head right. The last team to win at that dump reveals how. http://m.espn.go.com/general/blogs/blogpost?blogname=collegebasketballnation&id=92038&src=desktop (http://m.espn.go.com/general/blogs/blogpost?blogname=collegebasketballnation&id=92038&src=desktop)
There’s a great detail in the Associated Press recap of San Diego State’s 61-57 win over Kansas on Sunday, the Jayhawks’ first nonconference home loss in more than seven years and almost certainly the biggest win in SDSU basketball history. How, exactly, did the Aztecs end KU’s 68-game home nonconference streak? What set them apart from so many who came before?
"Our coach never gets rattled," San Diego State forward Winston Shepard said. "He's always even-keeled. … After every timeout, he tells us to take a good thought out there."
"He just tells you to think something positive, whether it's basketball, family, whatever. Think something positive," guard Xavier Thames said. "I think that really helps."
I hope oscar read that. If our players don't piss their pants, they can actually make this a game.
-
the first step to winning in allen fieldhouse is getting some rough ridin' better players
-
Score more points than Ku
-
Have Ku miss open shots early while KSU hits some threes. They start pressing,mentally, KSU plays good defense and Ku's guards start turning it over. That will work probably for a half, then someone needs to go bonkers offensively.
Who is our best candidate to go bonkers? Southwell? Foster?
It would be great if Shane went bonkers and Foster just plays as well as he always does.
-
Score more points than Ku
FINALLY! This is the ultimate key to a victory Saturday. Well done, Trog.
-
I don't know why we do this to ourselves every year.
to all of the people who believe a scenario exists wherein we win in AFH...
:facepalm:
don't do this to yourselves.
seriously though when was the last time a "struggling" ku team didn't take out the measuring tape and a piece of chalk and tailor the finest clown suit for the wild wildcats that you've ever seen?
yeah, they are going to murder us.
All these things.
-
Et tu?
Gonna win 'em all!
-
Dramane Diarra isn't walking through that door
-
We celebrate hard, and meltdown hard too
K-state life
I have no aspirations on melting down after this one. Blowout loss is expected but it doesn't really hurt us any. If we win :emawkid:. Supposed to be 50 degrees out tomorrow tho, so might as well go out and enjoy it if things start going south per usual :D

Did some quick number crunching of the last 6 years @ AFH because I rough ridin' love numbers. We are 2 completely different teams before and after the 8:30 mark of the 1st half.
| KU Avg Pts Scored | KSU Avg Pts Scored | KU PPM | KSU PPM |
Before 8:30 mark | 26 | 11 | 2.26 | .96 |
After 8:30 mark | 57 | 54 | 2.00 | 1.88 |
Woof. I knew the first 10 or so minutes were usually bad, but that is awful. So if the Cats are up at the <8:00 we win? Will take.

K-State Heads to Lawrence Saturday for 278th Sunflower Showdown
Saturday afternoon two of the three top ranked college basketball teams in the nation from the state of Kansas will be meeting up for a much anticipated match up.
The #25 Kansas State Wildcats will make the short drive down I-70 Saturday to Lawrence for the 278th Sunflower KSU BASKETBALLShowdown against the #18 Kansas Jayhawks. K-State has not won in Lawrence since 2006 and the last time the Wildcats won in Lawrence when both teams were ranked was 1958.
Shane Southwell, senior guard, said that a win Saturday would be crucial. “I never won there or even got close to winning there. I want to get a win there. It is going to be hard to look back on my life and say I did not get a win in that arena.”
To prepare his team for the atmosphere in Lawrence Saturday Head Coach oscar Weber had his team practice while loud crowd noises played in the background.
“The biggest thing is that you have to keep your poise, just try to play and just keep coming at them,” Weber said.
Thomas Gipson, junior forward, said that the extra sound during practice was something new to the team. “We didn’t do that last year, because coaches did not even know it was going to be that loud. Today (Thursday) we handled it pretty well. We were still focused and people were still communicating and trying to talk over the music and system. I feel like we did well.”
Saturday’s game tip’s off at 1:00 p.m. from Allen Fieldhouse.

:lol: 2.26 PPM is ridic. How does that even happen?
2.26 PPP would be ridic, but 2.26 PPM is "only" 90 points over a game :dunno:
-
We are going to get raped.
-
our only real chance imo, is that with so many freshman on both sides, neither team is aware of the strange voodoo they hold over us in afh. and ku plays a little sloppy and allow us to hang around ala 06. but make no mistake - they will beat the crap out of us.
-
I pretty much know everything there is to know about KSU Basketball and there is no way in hell we are winning this game.
It's fun to think about tho...Like winning the lottery.
-
lots of losery loser types in this thread :flush:
-
Maybe the Thunderstruck CD got a scratch on it and won't play?
-
Weird to see 'zacker _FANing and _FAN 'zackering
Yep, things feel a little different this time around. A change in the wind? I remember feeling this way walking into AFH on a crisp Saturday morning in January 2006. And every other basketball Dillons the last 20 years. Still, Cats by 6.
-
lots of losery loser types in this thread :flush:
It's science!

If Gip can make it to the under 12 timeout with less than 2 PFs..... :Wha:
Otherwise, expect Will to put up 19+, become a GPC legend, and then never come close to that mark the rest of the season.

Last time the Basketcats won in AFH, KU was 10-4 with a bunch of talented freshmen and it was a Saturday afternoon in mid-January. :O

True.
But the Cats were coming off of one of the worst home league losses that I can remember. Definitely in the top 5 worst home league losses. It was brutal and nearly put me over the edge as others can attest.

For one game it would be fairly meh, but that's over six games meaning there were some games (presumably) much higher.

How did the coaches think it wasn't going to be that loud last year? good grief.
-
I think its all on the freshmen for both sides. They rely a lot on OGW and if he doesn't produce then KU will have a hard time making up for it. On the other side we also need OGF and Thomas to perform well in their first game against the beakers. Not sure how Wiggins will handle that either.
If we can come out of the locker room and actually score points early on in each half, or at least score around the same rate early on then we have a real chance of winning. We need to also limit any runs they go on, KU likes to do that to us.

I love sports stories before big away games where articles talk about blasting music and junk during practices. This is what it's all about dipshits. We'll prolly lose but whatev

It's crossed my mind on multiple occasions that oscar really didn't know what he was getting into at AFH last year... I've always thought that he came in totally unprepared, almost as if it was no different than a roadie to Tech, etc.
Hopefully, we'll come in far better prepared to play a solid game.

We would definitely win this one if we still had Angel... :frown:

If it's looking bad for us, he needs to ubutton his damned jacket, throw the damned thing down, loosen his tie and cut loose.
I just don't think he has all that in him.

we played awful, refs kind of screwed us, and had some bad luck. we still have a second half to pull our heads out. we play well in the second half, we pull it out. MARK IT DOWN.

Can't really blame the refs in this one. Right now we only have four more fouls than them and nobody picked up their third until well after the game was over.
-
Is what it is. Don't think anybody in this thread actually thought we'd win. I mean, I started it and was confident in a 25 pt loss.
