That game was a blast and I think our team might actually be good. Dean needs to pull his head out of his ass. Maurice and Sneed should be good off the bench.

We need a guard who can recklessly drive into unsuspecting defenders and make 80%+ fts to fit into new college bball where the trash refs are trash and make trash calls to make certain players dont decide the game. CBB is what CFB would be if close games were decided by a field goal kickoff. rough ridin' lame

I only listened to it. Stokes making a dumb inbounds pass and Wes not hitting front end of clutch 1-and-1.....I'm not putting this loss or poor last 30 sec on oscar

FT shooting been bad all year. Wes played great but had s chance to be a clutch SR in the biggest of big moments

oscar does nothing to get him in involved
DJamer was awesome
So was Wes until the choke job
Stokes came alive

We lost a close game again. Sounds like a losery mentality. Where does that come from?

I'll agree you can't blame oscar for missed free throws and botched in-bounds plays, but can you blame him for it being that close to begin with?

That was incredibly frustrating. Did anyone not notice Stokes munsoned that inbounds pass because he was trying to throw the ball off the ass of a defender?
Title: Re: Deja-oscar; Maryland ADV
Post by: EMAWzifried on November 26, 2016, 11:12:52 PM
So I missed the first half because the first half stream sucked. Was X bad in the first half or did he get 3 minutes like in the second half while Wade avoided anything and everything physical?

Botched in-bounds plays are drawn up by coaches, which they run in practice, run by coaches.  This is all coaching, especially in year 4.

Deathbite and Dogbite both have been erratic all year.  This tournament the three was hard to come by.  We lost because not everyone played with grit and nastiness.  DJamer, Westicles, and Flush did.  If the coach can't instill this, these players will have to be the catalyst.  The good news is we barely lost even after playing like crap in a back to back game.

Close games are definition decided by one or two good/bad plays. Once you start losing more than your fair share of these games it's time to start looking beyond the "player x made a bad play" blame game.

Lots of crappy coaches make a living out of losing a lot of games by not very much and putting a positive spin on it. See: Paul Rhodes, Wooly, Doc Sadler, etc.

People used to bitch incessantly about franks players poor free throw shooting and someone used to talk about ftr being the true measuring stick.   I can't remember who it was though.

True, I usually don't care about percentage that much, but hitting one or two in that situation is a pretty big deal. Also, FT rate is one thing oscar's teams have done well the last couple of seasons.

they lost a tough game that i didn't expect them to win. a semi-road game if one exists (crowd was kinda loud for maryland)  if anything, they showed me that they're better than i thought they were.  better coaching would have won that game but i didn't expect better coaching so as far as i'm concerned, they're trending up on the clamsometer

and eff oscar, he's a dumbass

Good point. Most of the 2nd half was actually pretty fun basketball to watch. Several guys making plays. They may just lock oscar into a lifetime contract.

pdave on scout actually attributed the poor free throw shooting under Frank to the "thug basketball" Frank and Huggins play

it was exciting, i'll give them that.  knowing we were going to lose wasn't fun though.  unfortunately, i have as much confidence in this team as they have in themselves.

confidence hits those free throws that wes missed
confidence inbounds that ball correctly
players without confidence tighten up in crunch time and their head worms take over and they make dumb mistakes.  now, it's important to note that k-state players have suffered this for years with the exception of frank and huggs who toughened their teams up so much that they couldn't be mumped with physically or mentally.

Yeah no one ever excused missing a late game free throw with FTr

i was very confident that kstate was going to win.  i think it's just a fan thing that you always dread the result you don't desire.

that may be generally true. but as it relates to this team i don't think it's the case, for me anyway
some teams find ways to lose games, it's their identity.  when they do win, they do so in spite of themselves.  i look at at lot of k-state basketball teams in this light because for the longest time we have had inferior talent and those teams knew they weren't as good as their opponents

i mean, the 2015 royals could be down 2 dozen and there was no doubt in my mind we were going to win.  think about the anthony beane led cardiac cats, always won the close games

Losing to Maryland can be good if it motivates players to get better.  If they had won, and likely win the rest of the nonconference games, they likely would have been brought to earth rather cruelly.  Is there any comparison to a few years ago when they had a tough early season loss and.had 10' straight wins.  Foster's first year?

If we go to StL and win, I'll refrain from entering the "we suck" crowd, but if we lose I'm all in.

Just don't see how this team is any better than 6th in the conference. Disappointing.
