Title: Cats vs Bears: Polar Vortex Edition
Post by: Sandstone Outcropping on January 16, 2024, 02:42:32 PM
What should we expect tonight? Tang and Co should have a chance if we can avoid long stretches of ineffective offense.

Looking forward to watching with one of my lil croppings live in the OOD.

Cats!

I think we either play a tight one and win by 3 or less, or we will get absolutely boat raced. I’m struggling to see any other outcomes. I do hope I’m wrong. Would love to see us have an 8 pt lead late in the game and, ya know, not blow it

I think I'm bad luck for Cam.  It seems like every time I get to watch him, he turns the ball over or misses a layup.  I know he's pretty good, but I rarely get to see it. Yes I know that's not really true.

k-state (not a very good team), didn’t play very well against baylor (very good team) who also didn’t play very well.

i’m fine with the offensive problems, we just don’t have much firepower, but the rebounding effort has been consistently bad

Hey Scott Drew - your team is down by 2 in a game your have no business losing based on talent, you're 5 for eleventy billion on 3s this game, shooting close to 50 percent on 2s, absolutely destroying the other team o-rebounding, killing them damn near every time you drive in the lane and the other team's best player and perimeter defender already fouled out.

Whatcha gonna do on your last major possession? Not gonna use either of your timeouts and let your guys jack up another 3?

Okay!

I'm still in shock that he single handedly eliminated the "eff KU" chant.

I was in Dallas for the big12 (football )championship last year and it was being enthusiastically chanted to any random song in the bars after we won.

1 year later and our basketball has completely eliminated it from sandstorm and we don't even rush the floor after beating a top 10 team at home.

Just got back from a freaking fun night at the 'gon.

So happy for Coach Tang and proud of the team for gutting out the win despite not doing all the things they needed to do to win.

We really need to to run more efficient half court offense. Dribbling out the shot clock only to have Perry take a stepback three with a 6'5" guy in his face is terrible offense. Cam and Kaluma are capable of slashing to the basket. Got to run offense where all five guys are a somewhat credible threat to score.

Rate the crowd. On the tube, it sounded insame at times and one of better ones in recent years, certainly for a non-KU crowd on a weeknight.

We played like crap on the offensive end but were scrappy and effective on defense. Since they started to gel in December, the Cats have become a damn good defensive team. It's an area they are better than last year.

I haven't been to a conference game in the OOD for over ten years. Best atmosphere I have experienced in the OOD. Slightly more energy than the Villanova game I was at last month. Not the sustained level of energy you would get for a KU game or Saturday conference game.

Best atmosphere I've been a part of outside of a KU game. And that's with Drew calling a timeout everytime the crowd was getting involved, a la Self using all his timeouts in like, the first half during the game during Pullen's senior season.

It was a lot more fun than the ku one in 2008, because of being so close, and less stress over just going to try and win the game vs the whole streak. It also took forever in 2008 to get from the 28thish row to the floor, despite waiting all day in line :dubious:

I know a lot of the lineup rules changes because of said ku game, once it got to like 2 hours before game time those who were just saving spots for everyone else got people, and then a bunch of people just rushed into the line, it was shitty, though the game was great to be a part of. So being that close for Texas felt like a proper spot for the time spent to get it.

I wasn't there, and it has been 13 years, but the win over Texas was the loudest I've ever heard the place (non-KU).

JANUARY 18, 2010 — 71-62 OVER NO. 1 TEXAS

Pete and I had a vuvuzela in Sec. 17.

That was a great game, I think I was able to get in the 6th row of the student section

I court stormed, stepped on a folding chair, it folded, I went down in the storm.  Struggled to my feet and ran right into weird robert.  This is all on a hilarious iphone video

I'm calling cap. We didn't rush the floor after we beat #1 Texas. It was like, a whole thing.

Can confirm, as I was there and distinctly remember the iCat section chanting "don't storm the court" to the GA section as they were preparing to go over the railing. The GA students ended up backing down (obviously).

My wife was 17 at the time (she was not, however, my wife at the time) and she didn't get the memo about not rushing the court. Her and like 12 people were escorted out.

ESPN even mentioned it on Sportscenter that night because there had been dozens of court stormings that year.

Edit to say ESPN mentioned that we elected to not storm the court*

Ah, yes, that was the birth of the "We Own Texas" chant and Bob Knight suggesting we chant "Thank you, good game" instead.

This is my Mandela effet moment, I could'nt necessarily remember storming but when someone says something certain I went with it.
