Okay, so that little collapse was ugly, but man... sometimes zeal pays off.

Of course we all loved Marcus and Will.

But I'm almost the most happy for DJamer. Just a huge performance on this stage.

Great minutes from Nigel Johnson too. Omari made some huge plays.

I love that Westicles has major stones and wants the ball when the game is on the line, but get it to Will or Marcus.

Guys, that was just so fun.

I am just so glad that I didn't have nightmares of "6 pts in 26 seconds"

12 KU OR and Ksu 11 DR 2nd half had me pulling wanting to punch the wall.  Just soooo happy that we showed enough guts and heart in OT... and all that matters is....

WE GOT THE WIN!!

the omari curl play has me scratching my head but he's shown that he's able to take it strong to the rack and draw fouls so ok i guess

i need to inject a gallon of liquid xanax directly into my heart on every one of our inbounds

DJamer played great.  its nice having guards who know how to get the ball into the block (as easy as it sounds, our guards the past 2 decades have been awful at getting the ball to our bigs).

Yeah, our pick and roll action has been really good this year. The bigs are good at slipping and the guards are executing a pretty tough pass to get it to them.

Post by: EMAWzified on February 10, 2014, 11:01:28 PM
It was like KU had never seen the pick and roll in the second half. I guess they are so used to Embiid being the stopper they don't know how to defend it.

I don't usually quote myself, but I'm sort of partial to this one:

But I want to be clear; its also a bunch of BS to think we can't win this game or we have to perfect game to win it. K-State is good enough to beat KU this season. I understand that its difficult with so many years of getting beat down and the 3 wins we have being partially due to strange phenomena (Wooly weirdness, Beasley/Walker, Pullen career game), but its also time (like most rivalries) that K-State starts to have some quality team wins in this series. I know I'm fighting against years of piss poor showings in this thing, but its time for this to change. (and I'm going to continue to believe this until it does or until I die, whichever comes first).

Omari taking it to the hole on lost possessions was big. Shane's attempt to throw off the leg was awful. Will needs to stop being the one I bounding the ball unless it's after a make and he can run the baseline.

Even I was surprised by the effectiveness of those pick and rolls. Not because KU sucked at adjusting, but simply because they were that good at executing them.

Also, thanks KSU. That win over KU completely erased any highlights from that amazing WVU game THAT I COULDNT WATCH.   :dubious:
Title: Re: WILL you believe it! KU ADV
Post by: Powercat Posse on February 10, 2014, 11:24:35 PM
1) Bench deserves a gold star.  DJamer was awesome.  But Omari and Nigel gave us some good minutes and made the some plays

2) Will's 3 in OT was HUGE!!!!   We had just given up a 9 pt lead to force OT.  Ku got the first 2 pts in OT.   If we go down 4-5 pts, I don't think we had enough to battle back and get the W

3) First 38 minutes, we fought our tails off on Defense.  KU had 59 pts in 60 poss (0.98) and held KU to 40.8 eFG.  I know last 2 min of reg was not pretty... but damn I am so proud of our fight.

2nd half offense was really incredible.   The last 3 min of regulation was bad, but the other 22 min were superb

First 17 min = 37 pts in 25 poss (1.48), 77.2 eFG%, 11-14 on 2pt, only 3 TOs
Next 3 min = 3 pts in 9 poss (0.33) included 0-4 FGs, missed Nino layup, miss front end of 1-1 and 3 TOs
OT = 16 pts in 9 poss (1.82), 75.0 eFG%, 7-10 FT, 0 TOs

So that is 53 pts in 34 poss ( 1.56), 76.8 eFG, 14-19 2pt, 5-9 3pt, and only 3 TOs ... if you take out those bad 3 minutes  :emawkid:

No  :Crybaby: from me.  You guys have been uncanny at home (almost) all year.  Some timely 3 pointers, but the bottom line is our interior D wasn't up to our standards, too many easy points given up inside.  We were really sorry in the post.
Title: Re: WILL you believe it! KU ADV
Post by: SabiNation on February 11, 2014, 08:45:42 AM
In my opinion, the best play that Will made the entire night was when he zoomed out of the air and just ripped the ball from baby Embiid when it looked like he would have an easy dunk.

Spradling played the best game I think I've ever seen from him

Will has been pretty great the last four games.  This is what he could have been the last three years if he would have shot the ball instead of penetrating only to immediately retreat or if he would have pulled the trigger from three rather than hesitating and passing away unless wide open.  He has grown much needed offensive courage the last few games.

I don't want Will to look to drive and score ever.  If it's there then take it.  If not, back it out and run the offense.  He played great last night, I loved what he did.  I don't think you can ever count on him to score in the lane consistently.  I just want him to take open shots and hit them.  I think he has taken a lot of open shots in his career, the difference last night was he made them.  I feel like his D has been pretty underrated and steady for the last 2 years.  He has played great help side D and fairly decent on the ball for 2 years now.
