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.

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).

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.

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.

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 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.

Bill Self doesn't have a toupee.  If you want that hair gone, you'll have to do it the old fashioned way.

7-3 is what we need to be after 10. 8-2 would be something special.


Anything less than 7-3 would be dissapointing.  Any home loss between now and KU on 2/10, unnaceptable.

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.

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'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.

13-28 from 3 and at least 45% on 2s.
Play even on oboards.
Win TO% battle.
Don't get out FT rated by more than 10%.
<10 PTs for KU in transition.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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:

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

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.
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.

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.

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.
