Reasons We Could Win in AFH

[Spracne]

Have Ku miss open shots early while KSU hits some threes. They start pressing,mentally, KSU plays good defense and Ku's guards start turning it over. That will work probably for a half, then someone needs to go bonkers offensively.

This is exactly what I foresee happening the first half, fwiw.  We are a terrible first half team, unlike most of our teams, historically.

I am a pessimist, but KU really has been terrible this season. They can't close out games. They either win by a lot or lose close games.

This really isn't true.  We don't win by a lot.  We aren't very good playing with a lead.  As a result, many of the games we have won have been close games.  Of course, the games we have lost have been close games, too, so there's that.

I don't know why we do this to ourselves every year.

Because we are k-state fans, MixBerryCrunch. And goddamit, we have zeal.

Who is our best candidate to go bonkers?  Southwell?  Foster?

One or the other. I just know it won't be Will.

I'll be surprised if Ku [Klux Klan] gets the ball past half court. Cats 67 Klan 0

Did some quick number crunching of the last 6 years @ AFH because I rough ridin' love numbers. We are 2 completely different teams before and after the 8:30 mark of the 1st half.

	KU Avg Pts Scored	KSU Avg Pts Scored	KU PPM	KSU PPM
Before 8:30 mark	26	11	2.26	.96
After 8:30 mark	57	54	2.00	1.88

First step to winning? Get your head right. The last team to win at that dump reveals how. http://m.espn.go.com/general/blogs/blogpost?blogname=collegebasketballnation&id=92038&src=desktop

There’s a great detail in the Associated Press recap of San Diego State’s 61-57 win over Kansas on Sunday, the Jayhawks’ first nonconference home loss in more than seven years and almost certainly the biggest win in SDSU basketball history. How, exactly, did the Aztecs end KU’s 68-game home nonconference streak? What set them apart from so many who came before?

"Our coach never gets rattled," San Diego State forward Winston Shepard said. "He's always even-keeled. … After every timeout, he tells us to take a good thought out there."

"He just tells you to think something positive, whether it's basketball, family, whatever. Think something positive," guard Xavier Thames said. "I think that really helps."

I hope oscar read that. If our players don't piss their pants, they can actually make this a game.

the first step to winning in allen fieldhouse is getting some rough ridin' better players

Score more points than Ku

It would be great if Shane went bonkers and Foster just plays as well as he always does.

FINALLY! This is the ultimate key to a victory Saturday. Well done, Trog.

[Willesgirl]

I don't know why we do this to ourselves every year.

to all of the people who believe a scenario exists wherein we win in AFH...

 

don't do this to yourselves.

seriously though when was the last time a "struggling" ku team didn't take out the measuring tape and a piece of chalk and tailor the finest clown suit for the wild wildcats that you've ever seen?

yeah, they are going to murder us.

All these things.

Et tu?


Gonna win 'em all!

I have no aspirations on melting down after this one.  Blowout loss is expected but it doesn't really hurt us any.  If we win  .  Supposed to be 50 degrees out tomorrow tho, so might as well go out and enjoy it if things start going south per usual

Woof. I knew the first 10 or so minutes were usually bad, but that is awful. So if the Cats are up at the <8:00 we win? Will take.
