Title: EmBARRYssing; Tech ADV
Post by: kso_FAN on January 06, 2018, 05:40:44 PM
The first 15 minutes featured some of the most inept basketball I've ever seen from a K-State team. Sure, they fought a bit and made it somewhat interesting for a bit, but man. Thanks for Barry, Dean, and Cartier showing up to play.

Their starts are just so passive.  That's been a consistent problem throughout.

Still too many minutes for the bigs but this was a step in the right direction. We did see the big flaw in going small with Dean's foul trouble. We have no idea how to defend on the interior, I also don't understand not going zone after Dean picked up his third.

have you seen us play zone? It's like an automatic wide-open three for the other team.

I liked having Claws trap at half-court once he had 4 fouls.

I don't think that was called, it was also a horrific foul call.

Claws' 4th foul looked pretty awful in real time but I didn't see the replay

I was bad, that was a gigantic flop, tech does a lot of that, charge board though.

as someone who did not watch the game, did kam get hurt? why did diarra play so much?

Yes, he got hurt. Not sure how severe.

He got more minutes because Kam got hurt.

I'll admit I haven't watched much KState basketball in the last few years, so I'm curious.

Are you insinuating that BW has learned to employ a zone defense for strategic purposes?

We don't have the length or athleticism to play zone anyway.

Tech was 12-13 on 2pt in 1st half
Their 1 miss. They got OR and a putback.
Yes. 12 possessions they tried a 2pt shot. And got 24 points. WOW!!

We shot 52% eFG. And got 0.92 PPP
Good FTs and good TO% not happening today.

Last 2 games, we have had Dean & no big OR no Dean and 1 big.....on court for 47 of 80 minutes

WV and Tech 44-64 on 2pt.

Not saying having big + Dean is "best for the team"
But Diarra & Patrick suck on Defense. Wainright hasn't played well on D last 2 games IMO

The "small lineup" must get better and tougher...OR... the 2 big rotation of Maiwen/Stock has to give many more  "non-sucky" minutes.

stockard and Mawien and the other random big are legitimately some of the worst players I have ever seen log significant minutes for KSU. Maybe Richie Terry comes close, but he kinda played defense. It's not that they're just completely unskilled, they're also really lazy.

I don't really get what your agenda is. I think you are a just a bball guy, so I respect you choosing to focus on the play and not the greater context. But this team is mediocre. Just like the 3 past seasons. And oscar is not good. And we will never be good with oscar. And finding silver linings when we just lost to what used to be the worst team in the conference until they hired a real coach is whatever, man.

Maybe so. I just have never gone full burn it down and probably won't.

I think they are done without Kam though. Maybe 6 Big 12 wins. Just not enough depth to lose the best PG and one of the top 3 players.
Title: Re: EmBARRYssing; Tech ADV
Post by: pissclams on January 07, 2018, 08:17:29 PM
I really don’t think they were getting more than 6 with kam
their potential is just too limited

I can see that. I likely let my optimism early in the year get the best of me. Diarra and Wainright are decent Big 12 players, but we have nothing outside of the top 4.

Our crack medical staff has a good track record with foot issues, I mean they're trickier the knees or ankles.

Man that really f-ing sucks. 

I was half joking about foot issues with the last few years, are these similar issues people are having or just numerous freak occurrences? (not specifically directed at MiR)

I feel like OSU is the worst team in the conference, talent wise. They play their asses off though, I would be tempted to pick them 10th behind ISU, but ISU plays lazy as hell.
