The JO-urney Continues; Big 12 #2 ADV

[kougar24]

JO had a hugely impactful stretch in the 2nd half capped by that save on the press break--to which I admittedly and readily fistpumped.

But this game was decided the minute Rod decided Smart really was a little bitch who needed to be sent home. Then Angel picked up where Rod left off.

The 10 second call in their backcourt.

Spradling can still sit the f down though. Clanking everything from deep, 3 TOs (if you count eating the 5-second call), allowing Forte to get loose a few times (luckily he only cashed in once)....someone remind me what he brings to the table over Tay, please.

Honest: I don't remember us ever having this much trouble breaking presses under frank or hugs

I remember it being pretty hilarious when teams would try to press us w/ Pullen and Clemente. Pretty much a guaranteed 2 points for EMAW.

All u need to know about our defense =

Tonight ... OK St got 7 dunk/layups/tip-ins

Last Saturday ..... After we took the 50-41 lead,  OK St got 6 dunk/layup/tip-ins in the next 3:55 to tie the game at 53


Other thoughts ---
A good defensive effort and Osu playing poorly and having foul issues........ was countered with our own bad offensive perfomance and thus only a 5 pt halftime lead.   However, we did exactly what we had to do, which was gain control by the under 12 timeout.   We did and our lead was 13

We ended the game with 14 TOs.  Fortuneatly for us, 7 of those were in the final 10 minutes and our lead never got below 8

yeah DC would make that decision look pretty sophomoric. 

Also just remember when Wooly teams would get the full court pressure

I don't remember us controlling a game to the point that the other team tried pressing us.

OSU actually has a pretty good press defense.

I do remember Frank pissing away some leads at the end of games. That was pretty common.

Are you thinking of backdoor cuts? You're thinking of backdoor cuts.

So OK St up 17-12  up with just under 6min in 1st half

The final 25:45 of the game=

KState 62.5% eFG
Osu 30.0% eFG

KState  1.19 ppp
Osu 0.85 ppp

Rod/Angel 37 pts
Mr Flop/ Brown 16 pts

Yeah,  Our Monster Truck with the EMAW logo on the hood ran over their FORD

Not sure where to put this, but Tay's 3 to make it 22-17 was a huge fist pump moment for me. Maybe the most fist-pumpy all season.

If jo plays this many minutes in Stillwater, we win handily.

I don't remember us having all that much of a problem with it last night as long as Will didn't touch the ball.

Angel had 1 or 2 bad passes out of it. I actually thought did an okay job breaking the press last night.

No, I'm not. Dax is big on the press-break.

We were down 17-12 and OK St was in the midst of a 15-5 run.
Kstate scored 10 pts in the next 4 possessions and went on a quick 10-0 run.   Tay' s 3 capped the run

We controlled the game the rest of the way.   We had quick little 6-0 run to start 2nd half and another 9-2 to push the lead to 13 and the game was never in doubt

Not sure a crippled Jo on the court would have helped. All we really needed was a fairly officiated game and ksu would have won by 10


Key to game today:  don't have our two post players dq'd on 10 phantom foul calls

[EMAWzified]

Visited the orange site last night. 36-page game thread bitching about refs and, near the end, civil war on whether or not Smart is a flopper. Some absolute denial, some acknowledgement and some (reasonable, IMO) "why not, he's good at it and gets rewarded for it."

The officiating in that game was pretty terrible.  The offensive fouls called against k-state were pathetic

[kougar24]

FSD, have you gone full powerespect, thinking the refs have some sort of secret agenda against K-State?

[EMAWzified]

BTW, the orange site was full of conspiracy. Pretty much the consensus the conference wanted an all-Kansas final, the motivation for which was never explained.

FSD, have you gone full powerespect, thinking the refs have some sort of secret agenda against K-State?

Secret agenda?

 Yeah, lets keep it in perspective who the powerespect goetuck is here.
