Inspiring WIN versus a stout OSU team. Packed house with GA getting bought up by mostly non students (semester break). I do have to give a shout out to the hardcore students that go to every game, sit in the front rows, cause a couple of the GA sections to stand the whole game, and start good chants like "Your a Flopper". The Boy Scouts of America were in the Octagon of Doom and these types of games help K-State enrollment 10 years down the line.
The Good
Held OSU to 40.4% from the field (season average of 49.6%)
Held OSU to 3-14 (21.4%) from 3pt% (season average of 37.5%).... good job guarding Forte!!!!
Gipson was 4-4 from the free throw line and several were huge.
We won rebounding by 1
We are 1-0 in Big 12 play!!!
The Bad
We shot 36.7% from the field. (OSU statistically has the best defense in the conference so it isn't that surprising)
We shot 5-21 (23.8%) from 3pt (this is frustrating and I think it will improve at some point)
The Beautiful
Only 8 Turnovers!!!!!!!!
+2 in Turnover Margin
Freshman Jevon Thomas with 5 assists on 2 weeks of practice
We are in first and are making the doubters squirm (especially Andrew Von Lintel).
