Title: I hope KU wins
Post by: steve dave on January 26, 2018, 11:28:12 PM
I don't really care about basketball now. And KU fans do a lot. So I hope they beat us. And honestly basketball is a 3rd tier sport that nobody nationally cares about so us losing or winning doesn't really matter. so I hope they are happy more than I hope we get some win that I (and most people) won't even care about. does this make sense? I'm a bigger KSU fan than almost anybody in the world so this is weird to say but I have a lot of HS acquaintances that are life long KU basketball fans. this means the world to them.

Somewhere deep down in my bowels near a decomposing turd a part of me roots for KU.  I say to my friends who are root Stupidist for KU that I can support KU.  I like Self, but I despise egotistical KU fans.

Post by: EMAWzifried on January 27, 2018, 11:33:18 AM
If you want to give little brother a hand up and not a hand out, you need to hope Cats win. Obviously, winning the conference every year has made Self and the school complacent to the point they can't even sniff a FF, much less a NC. They know in their heart of hearts their elite status is an empty, badly tailored off-the-rack suit that only looks dressy because of the 5, 6 or how many B12 championships in a row.
Our winning the conference this year outright is just the tough love needed to really put a burr under their ass. Maybe Self will drop those "freshman 20" he's put on in recent years and stop settling for recruits not good enough to get a Duke offer.

You're right, SD they need it in a very deranged way:

This is their biggest game of the year. This is the one time that the Octagon of Odd will be sold out. The one time in the year when the "F--k KU" chants during Sandstorm go from being weird and confusing to outright stupid and pathetic. This is the classic Little Brother seeking the one up on Big Brother. Its always more important for them.

When you lose >95% of the time to your rival the last 20 years, these games are huge to you.

This win also sets up KSU as a tournament team and buys Squeaks another year. At least.

Apparently, Reno is a squawk sock:

The Octagon will rocking with a lot of new overalls and old hatred. That damn OU game, we'd be in such good shape ..... oh well. Crazy thing, from K-State perspective, if they had scored on the final possession at Allen, they'd be 6-2 and 1 game clear of everyone, in position to go 2 up on KU.....Yikes I shudder at that thought. Hope Self has something for Wade tomorrow night because Doke out there hedging on screens is not the answer. Seems like Lightfoot or Svi would be the best match up. That damn Diaharra went around Devonte multiple times in Lawrence, I'm sure they'll have him try again. Gonna need some good 3 pt shooting, Good Newman to show up, Vick would be a plus, Devonte to return to form. It will be loud, intense and hopefully fun as it usually means a KU win.

He probably didn't have the legs tonight, but he probably didn't have the legs to shoot threes either. Of course, he could have given up the gottdamn ball on the fast break to the open man, who happens to be one of the fastest guys in the conference, instead of blowing a layup trying to be hero.

I blame Oscar for X not giving up the ball on the fast break to Diarra. No top-drawer coach would put up with that shite. Yeah, the take on dribble and pass it to the guy standing ten feet away zone offense was a tell of Weber's lack of preparation.

This is the kind of oscar apologist downgrade response I crave.

Ku was unconscious and TO happy early.
They were 107% eFG, 9 TOs and had 31-16 lead.

The next 14:45 Ku went 2-17 FG with 5 TOs.
We had only cut lead to 42-35. ( I mean 35 pts in 47 effing Possessions)
Svi hits 3 at 13:00 mark to make it 45-35 (this after Stockard fouls Doke on rebound, giving Ku extended possession)

Hey look sometime just overhelped off Svi. Sure we gave up another wide open corner three, but at least they didn't attempt the layup!

Probably the most frustrating thing for me watching that game. I can't believe how many times we helped off the best shooter in the Big 12. That said, Svi has developed into a really, really good player. He's a pro.

Good post.  We should have put Diarra on Svi and tell him stay in shorts no matter what.  We would have given up some twos but I'm not even sure about that.

you guys remember the 2010 home game vs KU (lost 81-79 in OT)? at the end of regulation Dom had a breakaway layup to win the game but tyrel reed stripped him from behind. i had a very painful vivid flashback last night.

I guess at this point we just have to accept that this team is going to average a -10 rebounding differential on a nightly basis.  That's a given for me at this point.  So if that's the case, we need to be great at everything else to compensate -- including shooting at a high level.  The Svi stuff was frustrating last night, but I think our actual defense played fine otherwise -- we turned KU over 16 times.  If you would've told me KU was going to score 70 last night, I would've liked our odds. 

Shooting 32% from the field and 22% (6-27) from three isn't going to be close to getting it done.

If there is any game in the history of basketball where it is a really bad idea to look at "total rebounds" as some justifiable measure of true rebounding prowess, this is one of them. Both teams rebounded the ball roughly at the same rate.

Screwy game.  FG misses in 1st half were Ksu 26 Ku 6.

Ku only had 1 OR with 16:30 left in 2nd half

They didn't get pts off a OR until 3:19 in the game.
Now there was 2 deadball Rebounds where we fouled on a Ku FG miss (Stockard foul) and a FT miss (Wade foul). They scored on those extended possessions Both times (5 pts)

Both teams are awful at rebounding, which is even more of a reason why both teams need to shoot well to win games.  They won't get many 2nd chance opportunitites. 

I remember the 2nd chance opportunities Frank's teams would get.  Sometimes guys like Curtis Kelley would get his rebound twice before getting it back in the bucket.  Nobody cared as much how well we shot because we would always keep possession and eventually find the hoop.  I miss that.

Admittedly, I'm not a statmaster for hoops, so I don't really understand what you mean, but I'll take your word for it.  That said, lastnight's total rebounding differential is pretty consistent with our numbers in conference play.  We've gotten our asses kicked on the boards in every conference game except for 2 (@AFH was the other one).

I think our lack of rebounding (in general) leaves us with next to no room for error for bad shooting nights, last night's game notwithstanding.

How good do we really have to be at shooting?  Our season average is over 75 ppg, and KU was giving up something like 70 before last night.  Yeah, KU played good defense and Bill always manages to do something to completely fluster our guys, but last night was still an anomaly.  We sacrifice a strong presence under the rim for guys who can shoot, and it has paid off more often than not.  Also, as I said from the outset, our only chance of making a deep run in the tournament is by shooting well--especially from 3.  I am fine with sticking with that game plan, even if it means we will die by the 3 some games like we did last night.

At one point, we were 12-46 FG.   

Ku was lava hot early shooting.  But they went cold for long period.   We cut the lead to 32-27. Then the next 20 Possessions the score was Ku 10 Kstate 8.

Ku missed 1st 11 shots in the 2nd half.  We had our opportunity to take the lead, but our offense just continued to be soooo bad.

The thing about guys that are good at getting lots of d-boards, is that they are sometimes (often?) good at preventing players from the other team from making 2 point shots and vice versa. We're pretty horrible at making other teams miss 2 point shots.

I'd prefer that was something that we were better at. Getting a potential associated rebounding boost would be a nice bonus.
