Angel is absolutely...

[Pendergast]

he didn't just play like one, he is one! c'mon frank, stop playing for the future and play for NOW.

OPERATION BENCH ANGEL

 

[EMAWzified]

>>> Shane <<<< Spradling.
That's where I'm at, anyway.

[Dugout DickStone]

Sprads must grow an extra arm and hit 60% from half court in practice.  This is Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)

[SkinnyBenny]

In before the inevitable "Missing free throw is no big deal/a big 'tuck talking point" talking point from the people here who will say whatever it takes to be (what they perceive as) anti-tuck.  



Missing three free throws (if not more?) down the stretch that resulted in zero points and zero offensive rebounds for us that might have led to other points?  From a point guard who has shot 53% from the line this season? Yeah. It matters.

[wetwillie]

Will turns in 4 points on a 2-9 shooting performance but angel is two assists shy of a double double while shooting 66 percent from 3 and clearly is why we lost

I guess it's not really shocking that being good at message boarding almost always leads to being a non-dumbass at watching and understanding basketball

[Stupid Fitz]

Our fan base just amazes me sometimes. You would think I would be used to it by now  

[Dr Rick Daris]

if we had two angels playing then we win today. if we had two wills playing then we would've lost by double digits.

This is Buzz Williams quality trolling, well done.

i still love ar-t more than the rest of the team combined, and expect his four years to be the funnest to watch in school history.  but, if he's not an 80% ft shooter like it seemed he was early in the year, then i need to ease back a bit on my predictions of greatness.

[Berries and Cream]

I mean there's no way to argue that Angel wasn't bad in the final two minutes. If he's going to achieve our vision for him he needs to be clutch on FTs and he isn't right now.

However, there's also no way to argue the KSU Wildcats are in a position to win in the final two minutes without Angel.

Amazing how people blame a kid who played largely very well and then poorly at the very end when Will Spradling brings 29 minutes of pure suckitude to the table.

[DQ12]

11 pts 8 assists 1 to

Thank you, Angel.

[catzacker]

if we had two angels playing then we win today. if we had two wills playing then we would've lost by double digits.

This is how I look at it.  If spradling isn't a complete piece of absolute dogshit, the only thing missing ft's at the end would have done is lessen the amount we won by.

[AbeFroman]

Angel is still going to have his crap moments, but at least they are just moments and not THE ENTIRE GAME

he wasn't bad.  he went under on a screen on a really good shooter.  that looks bad, but none of us even know how he was told to defend that.  he went for two risky steals, and got one of them setting up an important dunk.  giving up fts on the other.  and he missed a few fts.  that's not a heroic performance, but it's not horrible either.  it's just being really active and in the middle of every play and not being able to make enough positive plays to counter the other team.

[kso_FAN]

Angel was the best of our guards, really all that needs to be said. Will was awful and Rod hitting the clutch shot vs MU was apparently an isolated incident.

[DQ12]

I mean, 8 assists, 11 points, 3 steals and 1 turnover.

I don't understand what more could be asked from a point guard

Normally you couldn't ask for more. But when your back court partner is prince william you have to play like two angel's

True. It's all really relative to how well he played up until those couple mistakes (with the FTs being the only one we can be sure of).

[SkinnyBenny]

Angel was definitely very good overall today and not the main reason we lost, though you have to admit how much he sucks at the line is very disconcerting.  But this one, like many this season, is more on Sprads.  I mean, I can't even tell you all the horrible thoughts I'm having about this d00d right now. Like, borderline violent. He is just awful and needs to go to some sort of hypnotist or something because this is rough ridin' ridiculous.

Everybody besides JO, Angel and to a lesser extent Rod and Southy was terrible today.  Meltdown and be disconcerted about everyone else, but those four are basically exempt from this one, imo.

's probably fair. So who do we hate most on this team overall? Legit question.  Feel like Sprads is in the lead so down the stretch.
