« on: March 24, 2024, 08:05:59 PM »It looks like the only thing we practiced this season was passing it into Lee even if she was getting blocked almost every time. I feel like we had other players worthy of getting a play called for them a time or two, but maybe I'm wrong.
I was pretty critical of Mittie on twitter, and I stand by that, but there were plenty of opportunities for the guards to make plays but they didn't. Sundell and the Glenn twins were completely psyched out in the second half. We should have seen the freshmen guards but Mittie didn't recognize that Lee and Gregory were the only two starters who didn't shrink in the moment.

« on: March 24, 2024, 11:56:17 AM »That Oregon/creighton game was wild. Like if someone told me that Oregon wouldn’t attempt a free throw until there was like a minute left in the game, and also only 2 guys would be responsible for all of their 2nd half points I would ask how badly did they get blown out?
I fell asleep, how did it compare to KSU / Xavier?
Not nearly as good. The second overtime was over a minute in. Oregon gave up a quick 8-0 run and they literally then walked the ball up the court with their heads down and instead of calling a time out, Dana Altman just yelled at his players then the point guard bricked a 30 footer. Altman had an all-time coaching howler at the end of regulation and in the second overtime.

Not to legislate this in a million different places but this team's watchability wasn't horrible, just tough compared to what they were last year. This year's team was a garden variety middling college basketball team.

« on: March 23, 2024, 03:42:52 PM »The NCAA app and their website might be the best sports/streaming platform ever created. It's crazy that a one a year thing is 100x better than the straight up garbage ESPN+ platform.
I discovered that the app has a channel that plays one shining moment on a loop, I watched all of them, some observations.
1. UCONN is somehow underrated, they're pretty easily the best college baseball program since the 90's. I think they are hurt by not having a rival and being essentially out of sight during the regular season.
2. The 2009 one shining moment was probably the most emotional one, for K-State fans anyway. People hate it because Jennifer Hudson sung it but they had a shot of Denis sitting on the floor crying after the Butler game, then just a few seconds later they show Huggins on the floor comforting Dasean Butler when he tore his ACL at the end of that elite 8 game.
3. The NCAA/CBS made an all-time one shining moment in place of the missing 2020 tournament, and it's very good.
4. The basketball is clearly better now but the personalities of the game and tension on the floor have been very much muted.

Cam and Dorian were at the game yesterday with most of the men's team. The only notable player I didn't notice was Tylor.

It is great, I do wish they didn't play an ad before they show the action, that's annoying as hell when flipping between late and close games.
Only other beef is that you can't watch the CBS games in the app, but, otherwise, it helps address the max logins with YTTV when you're trying to watch 4+ games at once
you can if you login with your provider credentials, maybe you can't with YTTV, dunno, but I definitely watched a CBS game on the app earlier today

« on: March 21, 2024, 03:20:36 PM »Like if we roll out Ames and two new transfer guards with Buddy and Colbert we are going to get rough ridin' torched every night. There just aren't any combination of bigs currently on the roster where if we play them both at the same time we aren't playing 3 on 5 offensively.
I'm not on Twitter so can't confirm, but I heard Buddy Rich removed all the K-State stuff from his socials.
inaccurate, when it comes to twitter and instagram anyway

« on: March 20, 2024, 03:55:12 PM »What are your predictions / guesses, MIR?It'll be interesting to see who returns. We'll probably have a big turnover and that's probably not a terrible thing.
We will lose a ton. This is going to be nuts. Would love to keep buddy. The rest are just parts
wut? Buddy should be like 6th or 7th on the priority list of players to return. My guess is, we'll have 6 or 7 defections, counting the three players who are out of eligibility.
I think the defections will be
Finister
Manning
Kaluma
out of eligibility are
McNair
Lindsey
Perry
I think Glover and Rich are guys I think could go either way, I don't have a good read on them.
I would be stunned if any of the following left
Ames
Carter
Jones
N'Guessan, he may go pro, but he ain't transferring
Colbert

Kansas State Football / Re: Nebraska's struggle for relevance.
« on: March 19, 2024, 01:00:10 PM »I think a very large part of it is the absolute rough ridin' shitshow the Nebraska BOR has made of the state academic institutions. There's a reason the president, chancellor, and provost all got the eff out. the BOR is supposed to name a priority candidate for the pres. job tomorrow. You can rest assured it'll be some shithead (unless they've learned their lesson).
I read that people think he was making reference to the DEI stuff but he's going to Texas and Texas A&M who will almost certainly cut DEI as well. Apparently there's talk within college athletics that states who are explicit in eliminating DEI programs will have some difficulties with recruiting. I have serious doubts about that.

« on: March 18, 2024, 11:51:41 AM »At home, Colorado's lost 6 of their last 8, they play a slow pace, Lee will have a 3 inch height advantage against their center, they're not really great in any particular area (though they do shoot it fairly well from 3 pt) - this is as good of a draw to get to the Sweet 16 as we could have asked for.Am I missing something? Wouldn't you say that the bracket containing S. Carolina is the toughest?
After that - arguably the toughest of all 4 brackets.
I think he means depth of teams at the regional. South Carolina is one of the best teams of all time, they will win the national championship. Unfortunately, I will have us losing to LSU in the regional final. Having to play the second best team in the country to get to the final four after beating the best player is unfortunate.
