Put this one on Rodney.

[Bill Clarahan]

Blame this game on Rodney, my ass!  You and Stevei Wonder must have watched the game together.

One guy deserves more blame than any other, that would be the guy Frank gives a pass to.

Angel really did play pretty bad last night. I mean eff.

This is probably only the 3rd time I've seen KSU play this year, and I hate to agree with Bobby Knight on anything, but he was dead on about the Spradling/Rodriguez thing last night..

That kid is the one who killed you, he took really bad shots and was just awful at distributing the basketball.. He seemed to have the right idea on where to go with the ball, but he was always a second late, or too early in actually making the pass and it would either put the shooter in a bad position or the ball wouldn't be able to get there (or sail over the guys head)..

He seems to have some ability, and I'm sure he could get away with that stuff in H.S. but it ain't happening against a top 10 team at this level.. He's quick and could get in the lane but then he'd either just throw something up at the hoop with no chance of going in or throw the ball away. Spradling was playing within himself (white guy cliche') and opening things up for your bigs/wings with his shooting and distribution..

You guys have a ton of really athletic bigs/wings, what you're really missing is a consistent 3 point shooter to open things up down low and a guy who can get them ball down there without turning it over so frequently..

Just my 2 cents, and it's probably not even worth that..

don't be so humble, your analysis was very valuable.  we can all stand to be reminded not to form opinions based on a single game, or to ever listen to bob knight.

We took Thomas Robinson completely out of the game.  He melted down on Big Monday.  He just could not handle getting treated like a normal Big 12 big.  He was shook for nearly the entire night.  Rodney did not find enough good shots, he did not drive enough, he does not understand how to draw contact and finish and he did not hit 3's for us.  Meanwhile Will shoots off like a drunken sailor and Angel tries to force passes to players that have no basketball IQ or hands.  Gipson's T was probably the breaking point, but Rodney shied away from the stage.  Jamar outplayed Thomas Robinson.  He embarrassed Thomas Robinson.  Rodney?  No answers.

But did you see Rodney's shoes!?!?

T-Rob was one rebound shy of his 19th double-double.  And Withey went off for 18, 11, and 9.  But yeah, you guys totally owned us in the paint.  


 

No part of his post mentions Withey.  I think most non-retards would admit he's a helluva player.  But T-Rob was not a factor tonight.

He had an off night, but to say he wasn't a factor would be incorrect.  KU doesn't win that game without T-Rob.

The title of the post is "Put this one on Rodney".

That might have been the best back handed compliment I've ever seen.

   I very clearly said I have seen THREE games though, so I'm basically an expert on KSU hoops.
