I expected to lose.
So did Frank. He spent the past week telling every media talking head who'd give him the time of day that his teams always piss down their leg right out of the gate in Allen. No surprise that the team fulfilled his expectation.
LOVE THIS TALKING POINT

A rare instance of Kitchen not being a complete Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).
I think that being nice to KU stuff is a really overrated talking point. The best player on the court dominated the game for the first ten minutes. Would T-Rob have played worse if Frank Martin said in a press conference "I'll never spend a dime in Lawrence?" Who really cares what he says in press conferences? He could be motherfucking KU and Bill Self when he's watching film as much as he does his players on gameday. We know Underwood is motherfucking them.
Before BITB went full Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) with his "This could be the worst week in in Kansas State Athletics in a very long time, it could be a complete disaster" line I think he laid this out fairly well. Frank clearly isn't doing something right when it comes to how he starts these games out, five games is a good enough sample size. I'd think it would be more prudent to point out what is happening in the film room, with the scout, or the game plan before we focus on what is said by a 21st century basketball coach to the media waitng to blow any non PC speak out of proportion.
If he would have done what Kitchen suggests and the same result ensued, we'd hear about hoe Frank provided BB material for T-Rob and Self.
