You all must be joking but TCU isn’t a Catholic school. Texas Christian University is affiliated with the First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). The First Christian Church history began two hundred years ago on the American frontier when many people from different cultural and church backgrounds were thrown together in search of religious freedom in the American West. I know, nobody cares.Sounds like a bunch of old west nut jobs met up on their horses and invented a new religion. No thanks.
It’s a pretty big cult, they have a church in Manhattan.
I don’t give a eff about Tulane. eff OU. eff the haters. KState motherfucking football.
If Weber gets canned at the end of the year, we will get a new coach and many new players. Better or worse with the transfer portal? Will 1 or 2 or 7 current players leave? Just asking.
Then we can root for them while playing for other teams like everybody did for Angel. Can’t wait, there will be so many other games to watch!!!
I'll field this one...
First of all, no one gives a eff about the program now, so whatever happens to whomever the players are on the current squad is really no big deal.
Second, if these players can be recruited and signed by oscar rough ridin' Weber, the new dude can convince them to stay (assuming he wants them). EASILY.
Transfer portal up to 771 now. How many of these kids are going to be left out to dry?
There’s not going to be greener grass for all of them. Some teams losing 7 - 8 players.
How is this good for college basketball? Looks like a disaster to me.
So far: Texas and TCU 3 apiece. Huggins has 2 leaving with one being a 6-9 soph headed to Kentucky.
Way different than football, there will be places for all players who are D1 quality. There are 357 D1 programs and I'm willing to bet that all 357 currently have scholarships available. If anything, in basketball the transfers have more of an adverse effect on late signees.
Sigh of relief. I wasn’t sure the 8 guys leaving Wisconsin-Green Bay would all find a new home.
Incarnate Word you mean

Can you imagine trying to replace Petrakis without being able to draw from this?
sure. Good point.
oscar is still landing 3 stars, yes, but 2 are top 150 3 stars (currently the top 130 are 4 stars and higher on Rivals). Murphy is #138, Gordon is #144, getting top 150 guys is an improvement. Gordon is also a late bloomer, didn't start Varsity until later in HS, uncommon for someone who is Mr Chicago Basketball. IIRC Diarra was also a late bloomer, didn't focus on basketball until later in high school. IMO oscar has been good at identifying who isn't just great in high school, but who has potential to be a great college player.
Our biggest deficiency is consistently getting good bigs. Wade is the exception. Guard talent has been and will continue to be a strength.
To add, IIRC, Wade grew dramatically late in his high school career. Coupled with his small town status, that thinned out competition for him quite a bit.
Where are all the Weber haters? Crying in your rooms for a week, hey, mommy is calling you for din din.I'm a Weber hater. I'm right here. Have never hidden that fact. I even gave Wacky my body bag size. I love the Cats though and will watch them and root for them no matter who the coach is. I will be joyous in their victories and get pissed off when they lose to Tulsa or let Texas dominate them at home. I'm Weber hater yes, but a Cat fan first.
What a bunch know-nothing simpletons.

What the eff, Brad?
Hard to take this story as gospel. Coach Underwood spent 10 years at Western Illinois U as an assistant, he knows homegrown Illinois talent, just wants players that will play his way. I’m rooting for him.
They kinda blew up the premise within the story. They are comparing his number of visits to those of DePaul and Chicago State, I would sincerely hope they are at roughly a billion more Chicago games than Illinois. They also mentioned his surgery recovery and the fact that he needs to spend more time with his shitty team. The much more interesting story is one within the one linked about why Illinois didn't offer the chubby baller at flood aggie.

My guy/gal cat97 is consistent, come in and complain that Mak was mentioned in non glowing ways but avoids the actual critique leveled.
He did hit two huge FTs in the second half.
Critrique seemed to target Mawiens inability to catch post passes and his breakdowns on help defense. I addressed both. Does not mean you agree with me.
Now we have Weber claiming Mawien is one of the best ball screen defenders in the country and Lowrey saying Mac is a great ball screen defender. Both those guys actually know more about defense than I do. You don't have to agree with them either.
The biggest concern is Mawien getting in early foul trouble against Kentucky but lately Mawien has avoided the moving screens and the arms in the defenders back going for rebounds. If the refs keep allowing physical play like they have so far in this tournament, we may be OK against UK.
20 Pts 33 Possessions
23 Pts 34 Possessions
16 seed or not...just incredible to hold a team to under .70 for both halves.
this was the worst offensive performance in a KSU win in the kenpom era
We had 0 pts the first 11 Possessions
Got 25 pts the next 18
Only scored 13 the next 27 Poss.
Got 12 pts the final 10.
Wasn't anything pretty about our offense tonight.
Sneed 6 pts down the stretch
Barry 8-8 FTs
Maiwen block on Lyles when a layup cuts it to 44-43 with 90 seconds.
Fun stuff. But Nerve racking as heck
