Title: the fight for fifteen
Post by: sys on February 05, 2021, 10:12:13 PM
six games to glory.  the easy part is done, each game just gets harder to lose from here on out.  history awaits.

oscar is trying to match EC Curtis with the worst losing streak in K-State history. In 1922 Curtis' Wildcats lost 9 straight, won a game, then lost 5 straight to end the season before starting the 1923 season with another 9 game losing streak. The media guide says 15, but the count is 14 by the schedules.

Currently on a 4-game fOOD losing streak, with the opportunity to tie and break that record over the next 4 days.

It’s all in the hands of the schedule makers now. Will they do us any favors?

That’s wild that as bad as it felt KSU hoops was during Asbury/Wooly, we’d never lost 5 straight at bramlage until oscar did it last year, with him now trying to put that record even further out there this year.

Also, K-State and Iowa State are currently engaged in an epic #strivefor9th

Yep, someone can't count. I'm sad that we've reached a point where I discovered that media guide error.

It’ll be cleanest to get to at least 15 now and have that error corrected as the new kings are crowned, while also precluding any asterisk as far as the streak stretching across seasons and arguably requiring 2 different teams to accomplish it.

just tuning in now - a little worrisome that kstate has managed to score so many points already.
Title: Re: the fight for fifteen

if kstate scores 70+ in a game does that get recorded as a win under the alternative minimum points rule?  anyone know how that works?

that missed dunk could have been a disaster, but all's well that ends well.  the five game bramlage streak is shattered, we're looking at a new all-time bramlage losing streak record holder.


underlying it all, we notch another loss.  eleven down, four to go.  we persist.

Does the Alternative Minimum Points Rule come with statistical guidelines and qualifications on ppg during the season?

Checked KenPom, I think 200 adjO qualifies this as a W, but will it go up?

i don't believe you can claim an amp win when the final margin is under 10.

If this is achieved, let's not forget the contributions from the schedulemakers, the anti-maskers and the butchers.

Quote
In a season of adversity, the Wildcats have faced teams currently ranked in the AP Top 25 Poll in 10 of their last 11 conference games. The only unranked opponent, Oklahoma State, received the most votes of any D1 team not included in this week's AP Poll.
 
During that stretch, COVID-19 precautions or injuries have cost four of five opening night starters at least one game for the Wildcats.
 
"Our trainers, our health care workers and frontline guys, they've been extraordinary," Weber said. "Not only their time, but their knowledge and working with the doctors and giving us a chance."
Title: Re: the fight for fifteen
Post by: sys on February 17, 2021, 06:59:36 PM
we can't count on the schedulemakers tonight, i'm afraid.  i hear that weber and the staff have circled this game as their toughest remaining loss and are privately very worried that ku won't be able to get the job done.

we're all probably (and understandably) a little numbed by the defensive effort tonight, but it's worth stepping back and looking at the big picture here.  the only remaining obstacles standing between ourselves and history are tcu on the road and ou at home.  thirteen down, two to go; we fight on.

At least this endeavor should have kstatesports correcting their record book and media guide.  I'd also like to see Curtiss' 14 marked with an asterisk to reflect he had to combine efforts from 2 different teams to get there.

My takeaway is that it's really, really hard to lose 14 in a row. There ar teams like Iowa State, TCU and us in this and others leagues every year. Tip of the cap to the Clones and Huskers, I guess.

After ISU plays Baylor Tuesday, they'll likely match our 13 game losing streak. I wonder how many leagues can say they had 2 teams lose 13 straight in the same season.

I don't blame people for apathy.  I do blame people for feeling in a range of "upset" to "bittersweet" about our young team beating the #6 team in the country.

It's time to shift focus. This team is at 2TRAIGHT looking to make it ST3AIGHT on Saturday against a WV squad that I can assure you wants no piece of these cats

You’re gunning for 22 overall, 16 in bramlage, and 28 at “home.”

Thank goodness for “close game” alerts on ESPN. The only Cats bball I’ve watched this year was the last few minutes of the OU game. I’ve been hoping we just tank and finally move on with a new coach, but I still had fun watching the win.

I think Miguel could be a lynchpin for this team as they develop.  He has shown some toughness that oscar teams need to be successful.  In a couple of the games where we were getting embarrassed, he got more aggressive and was willing to put his shoulder into a defender and drive. 

I have no problem with the talent on the team.  I have a problem with the talent being limited to two out of the four classes for 6 years in a row and not getting corrected.

Yeah this is the problem and reflects Oscar's lack of overall program management skills. The big concern should be that if he was that inept or indifferent about recruiting at a level that could sustain a program when he knew he would deal with the consequences, how few shits is he going to give when he knows it won't be his problem when he is enjoying retirement?

Dude has landed a crap ton of 4 stars and has respectfully reeled in a ton of top 150's. Unfortunately, when they don't work out and leave, they also suck elsewhere. It's a gamble every year when you bring in new kids. You love bashing his recruiting efforts, when he's a fine recruiter. If anything, he lacks developing players. If only we had a Justin Williams to fix this team. :lol:

No wacky, he's either a terrible recruiter, a terrible evaluator, or a terrible developer of talent, or any combination thereof, and that is why we're at where we are right now. You can't be 9 seasons in and have twice the number of transfers as players he's graduated, that's abhorrent. If he gets fired it will be his fault that he has proven that he can't be consistently relied upon to identify, land, and develop players for this program.

I see fault in his ability to be a GM of his program. He and his staff have been particularly bad at missing on bigs.

Jack Karapetyan
Neville Fincher
Brandon Bolden
Malek Harris

James Love
Levi Stockard

Austin Trice

Guards have been much better, but there have been too many pretty good ones that he couldn't make work.

Marcus Foster
Nigel Johnson
Cartier Diarra
Amaad Wainright

I think Shaun Williams and David Sloan could have been contributors too.

The combination of missing on bigs and mismanaging/losing guards that were pretty good have been the major reason for the rollercoaster.

He is incredible at talent evaluation.  Nijel is an excellent example.  He sucks complete crap at closing so he typically ends up with really poor recruits. Like how can you not close CJ Noland, legacy recruit at a position of need that could play day one.

Again, not mad at the talent level.  I'm mad that there will be hardly any recruits/talent added this year and next because we have very few scholarships available.  That means we are guaranteed to go through these shitty seasons all over again in 4 & 5 years. oscar has shown over 6 years that he doesn't care to fix this.  The best we can do is hope for highs that will make the guaranteed lows worth it. 

I agree he can be a fine recruiter as he's shown for the last two years.  Since there won't be large numbers in the next two classes, oscar needs to pull even better players than he had in the last two classes to keep us out of that cellar in 4-5 years.  If the next two classes don't produce a much higher talent level than Sneed, McGuirl, Mawien, and Diarra then we'll be right back where we are.  If you're only going to have a handful of upperclassmen, they have to be very talented.

I'll give you credit for Nijel being a testament for being a great talent evaluator, even though he was a top 150 recruit. How many other examples do you have of oscar being a great talent evaluator, because I guarantee you that I can name two misses for every hit you name.

Guards have been much better, but there have been too many pretty good ones that he couldn't make work.

Marcus Foster
Nigel Johnson
Cartier Diarra
Amaad Wainright

I think Shaun Williams and David Sloan could have been contributors too.

The combination of missing on bigs and mismanaging/losing guards that were pretty good have been the major reason for the rollercoaster.

This is great, I thought wetwillie was gEing. Calling someone a world class evaluator who on average runs off over 3 players a year is historically awful evaluation.

He is incredible at talent evaluation.  Nijel is an excellent example.  He sucks complete crap at closing so he typically ends up with really poor recruits. Like how can you not close CJ Noland, legacy recruit at a position of need that could play day one.

I'll give you credit for Nijel being a testament for being a great talent evaluator, even though he was a top 150 recruit. How many other examples do you have of oscar being a great talent evaluator, because I guarantee you that I can name two misses for every hit you name.

The Flush, Marcus Foster, Westicles are guys that were phenomenal players that went under recruited that he found. He finds crap tons of dudes before they blow up he just usually gets teabagged on the trail when it any kind of competition comes up.  He whiffs in the fall and then brings in all the dudes you are about to rightfully mention because it’s what’s left in the spring.  It’s maddening this dude knows talent and can clearly coach talent when he has it but he can’t close and basically refuses to do anything different to change the outcome. His 2021 class is not a P5 class and I highly doubt 2022 will be either.

I think Miguel could be a lynchpin for this team as they develop.  He has shown some toughness that oscar teams need to be successful.  In a couple of the games where we were getting embarrassed, he got more aggressive and was willing to put his shoulder into a defender and drive. 

I have no problem with the talent on the team.  I have a problem with the talent being limited to two out of the four classes for 6 years in a row and not getting corrected.
Yeah this is the problem and reflects Oscar's lack of overall program management skills. The big concern should be that if he was that inept or indifferent about recruiting at a level that could sustain a program when he knew he would deal with the consequences, how few shits is he going to give when he knows it won't be his problem when he is enjoying retirement?
Dude has landed a crap ton of 4 stars and has respectfully reeled in a ton of top 150's. Unfortunately, when they don't work out and leave, they also suck elsewhere. It's a gamble every year when you bring in new kids. You love bashing his recruiting efforts, when he's a fine recruiter. If anything, he lacks developing players. If only we had a Justin Williams to fix this team. :lol:

No wacky, he's either a terrible recruiter, a terrible evaluator, or a terrible developer of talent, or any combination thereof, and that is why we're at where we are right now. You can't be 9 seasons in and have twice the number of transfers as players he's graduated, that's abhorrent. If he gets fired it will be his fault that he has proven that he can't be consistently relied upon to identify, land, and develop players for this program.

He’s a world class talent evaluator.  Probably average developer. Way below average recruiter.

I see fault in his ability to be a GM of his program. He and his staff have been particularly bad at missing on bigs.

All of those guys fit the same profile, they are fringe 150 guys who were great high school players but there was one particular thing about them that scared the top 40 schools off. That isn't evaluating for fit, that's finding the occasional gem out of the bargain bin. I'd put Dajuan and Nijel in that same bargain bin.

He doesn't bring guys in the spring because he's whiffing on recruiting, which he's definitely doing. He's bringing in guys late in the spring to fill the holes from players he's ran off because, TA DA, he isn't identifying right fits with the spring players he signs, it's a vicious never-ending vortex.

Also Marcus Foster was not lightly recruited. I'm letting you keep him in your little group because his recruitment fell off because he got hurt the summer before his junior year and got fat. He was a top kid in that class. His offer sheet is still better than any other player oscar has signed, multiple other P5s and other good high majors like Creighton and SMU when Larry Brown was there.

I wanna make one more point about recruiting that has come up here once our twice, but really not enough. Alvin Brooks landed Wes and Marcus, probably the two best recruits of the Weber era, no nor probably, definitely. We lost him to a conference opponent who has runaway with the conference and is going to get the overall #2 seed in the tournament. That's brutal.

Like how can you not close CJ Noland? And how can you be so stubborn to not recognize that if you suck at closing you have to bring on an assistant who can.
who's minutes is CJ going to take?

Mike would be ideal but oscar wants him back too.  Selton doesn’t need 30+ a game either.

Yes he does. This type of thinking is exactly why we have developed like 5 players in 9 seasons.

He wouldn’t play 30 minutes a game for any other big 12 team not named Iowa State.  He is a solid player but he has significant limitations shooting the ball.  He will continue to get those minutes because we don’t have anyone better but that’s part of the problem.
