Title: Wildcats Worst Games Ever?
Post by: Dirty Mike on January 27, 2015, 08:17:06 PM
I'm feeling sentimental. What is the worst game you have ever witnessed while cheering on the Cats?

Texas Southern this year and tonight are flying up my list.

I've had to watch a high school team all year eff up again and again whenever the opponent throws on a press. Panic, total lack of brain power and the repeated tendency to pick up the dribble with no idea of what they are going to do with the ball and maddening habit of going to those places on the floor that makes the opponent's press most effective. In short, what we witnessed tonight.
The high school team has no gym rats and is a bunch of guys playing their second or third sport. I don't know what the Cats' problem is -- other than total lack of coaching.

#7    LaSalle    :Yuck:

I agree that West Virginia isn't a bad team.  I think that these types of games are the worst to watch and most frustrating.

It is watching your team suck the energy completely out of everything.

It is watching turnover after turnover. (For every contested turnover there were still ridiculous turnovers where we are just freaked out).

Inability to run offense.

We ran the clock out on ourselves at the end of the game.  I was mad when the officials put time back on the shotclock because I knew we would take longer to shoot it.

I know that West Virginia has good pressure but it is not an excuse to play that awful.


P.S. I checked all time turnovers per game.
32 is our record set in 1969.
27 would have been good for a tie for 8th place.

Thankfully 25 doesn't quite make the list.

there was nothing fun about last night unless you're a sadist. 

what's fun about being embarrassed the way we were?  i mean, i guess if you hate oscar that much, then your agenda got moved forward a few steps.  but other than that i can't find fun in watching our team fold like wet blankets under mediocre pressure.  our coach had no response, including the very simple idea of calling a time out.  we almost went into half with all 5 of them.

wvu did nothing special last night, their press had holes all over it.  we just lost our minds and on those occasions when we did get into a half court set, the guys were running offense at hyperspeed.

So many 90s KU games where Roy scored about a hundred.
2010 Duke
2010 ISU Senior Day
2010 KU in KC
2009 @ NU
2006 @ Cal

Different kinds of "worst" mixed in here, and most are recent. I guess that's what being bad for a long time will do to you. I was crushed when the 1993 team lost to Tulane in the tournament.

This is from memory so some of the dates might be off.

It was a meaningless game with an unfortunately miserable ending. Pasco Fiasco is a great nickname though, and the game spawned one of the greatest Collegian Fourum entries ever
