So, protecting our home court...

Anyone who takes pleasure in watching THIS team is masochistic.

Baylor was fun. Watching Angel blossom and jo rejoin the team has been a lot of fun, too.

I don't get why people are so shocked.  Aside from winning in Columbia, this season is almost exactly what we expected it to be prior to its beginning.

this season has been a lot of fun but losing at home as much as we have does kind of suck if you go to the games. i mean, if i lived in michigan or alameda or wherever i wouldn't care, but damn it if it isn't kind of annoying when you actually go.

See the stupid townie thread. YOU can make a difference, Rick.

season has been fantastic fun

trying to put a goemawspin on it is fine and all, but we should win our home games.  and winning @ MU and @ BU doesn't mean that we can just piss this or the OU  games away or that they are meaningless.  i mean, if you want to be teamostrich about this crap then fine.  the ou loss was unacceptable.  as is this one.

frank pulled a subdued pat knight and put it all on the players, again.  which is great.  i mean, if there's anything we've learned about frank it's that he can't get his point across in practice, only in games.

Ill let isu and OU beat us at home every time in exchange for our glorious road wins

but, putting a catzacker spin on it you should expect to lose all of your home games to quality opponents

it's unacceptable that we are in a position that I should have to expect these things.  that's my spin.

Getting swept by Fred and Lon is pathetic. No positive way to spin it.

If you look at the big picture the season is acceptable with room to spare. Yeah there are moments I haven't liked, but overall we should be happy with the results.

Everyone in here is giving Frank a free pass. This shouldn't be the case.

[wabash909]

I don't care about hallmarks as long as we have fun and go to the tornament. Is going to the tornament a hallmark?

Losing four times on our home court in league play isn't fun.  And squeaking in to the NCAA tournament and being marginal at best at home isn't mutually exclusive.

This season has been a blast. Did not try to decipher your second sentence.

Of course you didn't.  But, it's not hard to understand.

Being marginal on our home court and going to the tournament isn't an either or scenario.

I am giving him a discounted pass at the senior rate. No freebies here!

Exactly.  We're playing up to our expectations.  If you want to criticize our expectations and play the "well maybe Frank should recruit better to raise expectations" card, that's fine.  Rationally though, K-State's program is at a point where we should expect to go to the tourney every year, and finish first or second in the conference once every 3 or 4 years.  We're doing it.

Our team is going to the tournament in a rebuilding year.

Minimizing the value of protecting your home court in league play is very edgy and contrarian!
