I always come back to the mantra that you are never as good as you think you are (as most of us thought when we were 12-2 after destroying MU), nor are you ever as bad as you think (right now for most).

I know some will disagree w/ me, but the goat has gotta be Will.  Not saying we need to Frank him, but my god.  He had three points and it wasn't because he missed a bunch of shots.  He is completely unable.  Completely.  I think Frank banked on him being what he was in the OOC.    

I think will has lots of talent and would be a fantastic guard in the valley or maybe conf usa.

We need Angel to stop fouling so that we can turn Sprads into a guy that just stands on the perimeter and waits for someone to kick it to him after drawing the entire D 30' away from him.  

Also, WTF is up w/ Shane?  

Pretty obvs that Shane and Omari are gonners.  

Will struggling is a major issue for this team. Its clear that Frank is trying to go the Angel route as the primary ball handler/creator, but Angel has to do his part and stay on the floor. I'm hopeful that hitting one shot last night might help Will get out of his funk a bit, but we'll see. As I said last week, this team will need Angel AND Will to play well to make the tornament. One step farther, its clear our primary three guards to fill the two spots will be Angel, Will, and Tay. At least 2 of them need to play well game in and game out for us to win.

LOL, like that will happen.

That's pretty good. I hit my -20 after BU/@OU. Right now I'm about 0 and I'm hopeful it will head back up after the next two games. Winning @UT would get me headed back toward the green. Only losing one of these next two will send me below where I was after BU/@OU.

Yeah, a lot worse. Not even in the same category of disappointment really. The major reason last night was frustrating was because of losing the big lead, but I actually think ISU is pretty good. I still struggle to think OU is very good.

Yeah, Chris Allen is a fifth year senior that was a top 40 recruit. Royce was #30 on RSCI.

And of course Babb. I would have almost enjoyed a loss less if we lost because Babb made it rain on us.

The cumulative effect of OU + last night is what makes last night/today worse from a meltdowny perspective.

Kinda surprised Royce wasn't higher.  He looked like a man amongst boys last night.  Guy is so fluid with and w/o the ball.  He makes everything look effotless in a similar vein as Beaz(but not quite Beaz). Surely he won't be around next year...

I am in the transition mode from being pissed to not giving a crap.  I'm gonna find something else to do Saturday.  I'm not wasting any more of my free time watching this team.  If they pull their heads out of their asses and quit being a bunch of mental midget pussies that crap down their rough ridin' leg at the 1st sign of adversity give me a call.

I'm sure his biggest issue was his size. He's a really skilled player, sort of reminds me a of a more skilled and bigger version of Massey.

it gave him the confidence to chuck a 30 footer in one of the next possessions.  i think his shooting problems are a symptom of a bigger issue he is facing w/ confidence in making decisions on the in all aspects of the game.

It is impossible for me to not watch a K-State game if I'm able. I can't do it. I tried to not watch the Pinstripe Bowl, but ended up flipping to it halfway through the 1st quarter.

But I am able to transition to the not-giving-a-crap-even-though-I'm-watching phase. We'll see if I ever get there this year.

Also, if we go to the NIT, and the game is televised, that will put my above assertion to the serious test. In fact, I'd say there is a greater than 50% chance I wouldn't watch that.

I've never reached not-giving-a-crap mode as a fan. I doubt I ever will. Its just not in me.

Whatevs it is it is effecting his offensive decision making in a huge way.  Passing up open looks, passing up oppys to drive when a guy is out of position, taking that Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) shot when he could have easily taken a step.  Kid is melting down on himself like he has an internal Zacker sitting on his shoulder.
