Marcus Foster

[sunny_cat]

I've now gone the other way and I don't think he will transfer.

confidence rising

[Mixed-Nutz]

Seems like he is in a real funk, effective the rest of his game.

You heard it here folks!

Unless we upset Texas and manage to squeak into the NIT, I think today was Foster's last game in Bramlage.

The win was fun, but his performance sure was a dud.

Texas will be a shell of themselves when we roll into town after Baylor hands them another loss.  We are going to beat that ass.

idk what has happened to Foster but watching Kstate, I believe they are a much better team when he's on the bench.

Well, good. I hope you're right. I don't care how it happens, I'll take a win any way I can get it.

I still think Foster has played his last, or nearly his last, game in Bram.

Q: did Foster go all the way around the arena to high five fans after the game with the rest of the team?
A: no, he went past the student section, then cut out and jogged back to the locker room while the team went on without him.

oscar knows nothing of the back door, he's strictly a missionary man, by that I mean he can't change.  Marcus's problem is
oscar not being able to bend him to fit in a more productive way.

You didnt see the move he put on Self at the scorer's table?

[michigancat]

Jesus Christ we are not a better team with Foster on the bench.

[Belvis Noland]

Jesus Christ we are not a better team with Foster on the bench.

We were yesterday. 

[chum1]

What was the scoring differential for when Foster was in the game vs. out? Seems like he was in the game for more of the first half defecit and mostly on the bench for the second half comeback.

[michigancat]

not really

[pissclams]

foster chose dope over KAT hoops, he doesn't deserve to wear the purple and white

[catzacker]

Jesus Christ we are not a better team with Foster on the bench.

whatever.

This isn't even close. When Foster was in, we were outscored by 22.

SUB OUT: Foster, Marcus  15:53  2-10  -8
SUB IN : Foster, Marcus  12:06  12-10 +10
SUB OUT: Foster, Marcus  05:58  21-29 -10
SUB IN : Foster, Marcus  12:52  45-53 0
SUB OUT: Foster, Marcus  10:36  48-60 -4
0:00  70-69 +13

[chum1]

That's nearly a 50 point swing due to one dumb player.

[The Whale]

Prior to the last two games, defenses keyed on Foster and Gipson without the Cats having any other threats.  If Nigel and Edwards and to a lesser extent Westicles had been playing the way they have the last few games, Foster wouldn't have had to force as many things leading to this point.

But now we get to look forward to tucks selling The Flush as the next Foster and rooting for Foster to leave.

[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

Why don't you guys stop worrying about what tucks think. I know I don't give a crap.

K? Thx

The team definitely had better stretches of play with him off the court, but they're still a better team with him on the court.

Which has always been strange to me. "Hey we have this guy who could be awesome and a guy who has been awesome but has slumped lately." "eff the second guy, get him out." "But we can have both with absolutely no repercussions." "Nope, eff him, he needs to leave."

Should he have played more yesterday?

[kso_FAN]

I agree that we are better if Foster is here. Yesterday it was the right move to sit him down the stretch in the 2nd half, but hopefully he and the staff get things figured out for next year (and next week). Really, I hope we can keep everyone, but it looks like someone will have to leave now.

I still contend Nigel is better off the ball, though he can be a combo.

They want Jevon to be a "true" point (at least this season) and it sounds like Stokes is being brought in either to replace him or give him legit competition at the PG spot.

Either way, it will be an interesting offseason.

[chum1]

We're not better off with Foster if he's going to play like crap.

[Pete]

Any team is worse when they play any player who is playing like poop, aren't they?  The high school football coach at my high school used to make everyone where shirts that said "The team/chain is only as strong as it's weakest link."  But, he would get really upset with me when I would ask him to name who the weakest link was.

[kso_FAN]

You should have gotten a shirt that said "I am not the weak link".
