Jerome Tang Coaches Kansas State Basketball / Re: LOL

Didn't KU have a top 10 freshman and 2 all-americans on their team last year ..... and did not make it to the Sweet 16.

So the 2 AA's leave and they replace one hyped froshy with another.  

Wow, look out.    Especially when we return 6 of our top 7 players.

After we got the lead, we needed to keep it and put pressure on Butler.

Butler missed a longshot but Hayward got the rebound over Dom and got fouled, hit 2 FTs

Dom really played poorly the final 4 plus minutes after he got the off rebound that set up Denis 3.  He gave an off rebound that led to 2 pts.   Fouled the next poss.   Lost Hayward on defense which led to a alleyoop layup.  Then his defense was weak when Hayward drove and scored putting them up 6

Jerome Tang Coaches Kansas State Basketball / Re: Which hurt worse? Now or '98?

It's not even close.

In 98 we were 1 play away from going to the title game (where we would have been a favorite over Tenn)

This year, going into y-day, we only had 3 of the 6 wins that you need to be champs

Of the 8 teams that were in the elite 8, i knew we could beat any of them but i also knew we could lose to any of them as well

I would say mine is about a 7/10.   For Byu it was a 8 only because i so badly did not want this team to go home the first weekend.    

IMO the big key is Crawford, and for some reason i really think Dom is  going to do a good job on him.

I am not real concerned about payback factor.  We beat Baylor twice this year and they are better than Xavier.  

I feel confident but i still think this game will be decided by 7 pts or less.

Good grief.  Let's hope they don't call the game this tight when we play BYU.

Jerome Tang Coaches Kansas State Basketball / Jack Harry has in the NCAA finals

« on: March 17, 2010, 09:38:03 PM »

Said on 810 today that he has us beating the squawks in the Final 4.   Had UK and Nova as other Final 4 teams.  He never said who he had winning it all.    Keitz was lashing out at him.... asking him what he had seen in the 3 previous meetings that would make him think Ksu can beat Ku.  

Not sure if Jack Harry is the kiss of death or not..... of course i really don't buy into things like that any way.   Of course Jack does hate him some KU though

Jerome Tang Coaches Kansas State Basketball / Ohio St is weak

« on: March 13, 2010, 03:09:18 PM »

No way they deserve a 1 seed.   For the 2nd straight day, they should have lost to a crappy team.

Evan Turner gets more calls than anyone in the country.   He is a stud.... but everytime ILL breathed on him in OT, they blew the whistle.

Jerome Tang Coaches Kansas State Basketball / Stupid Head Coaches

Michigan coach Beilein ....lol   How dumb can you be.

Lets his team just sit back and let Evan Turner just stroll up and take the shot.   I know he hit a 40 footer.... but still, they could have made it so much tougher.   

Extend your defense .... let Evan Turner catch the ball at the opp. free thrown line, but make him zig zag a little bit on the dribble, so he is taking a 50 footer perhaps a little off balance...... not a shot where is got a full run and nice looking form

F U Beilein

Jerome Tang Coaches Kansas State Basketball / That chip on our shoulder .....

« on: March 06, 2010, 10:17:42 PM »

Well, it's back.  

This team has played most of this year with that chip on our shoulder.  Maybe it is a little different now, i don't know.  

This loss sucks in so many ways .... but i have not lost all faith.  

Scrap, claw and fight.   I love those junkyard dogs we have in our locker room.    

I won't lie.  I am slightly concerned.   But I still believe this team is not going home this year without a all out street fight.   I still believe that this team will make it to the 2nd week of the NCAA and put there best effort out there

Guess we'll see.
