Texas frosh say "Westicles Marcus down for a road win": Tech ADV

[kso_FAN]

Honestly, this was pretty much what I thought this game would be. Road grinders happen to every team, every year. These types of ugly wins are just part of it, its not pretty but honestly I'm happy (and relieved) when we win them. I don't even care that Tech isn't all that great of a team, it was a defensive game in which both teams made a bunch of mistakes. 2PT defense and finally hitting a few jump shots in the 2nd half were keys, especially since Tech dismantled us on the offense glass.

I'll take it.

The bad = After we led 16-10, we scored 13 pts in next 30 poss.  Had 9 TOs and shot 3-19 FG (15.8 eFG). Went 9:30 w/o a FG

The good = We scored 26 pts in the final 14 poss (all after the flagarant foul).  We shot 8-10 FGs, 3-3 3pt, so 95.0 eFG, 7-9 FTs.
Foster 3 after Westicles made the 2 intential foul FTs, Foster's 4 point play, Nino and Westicles 3 pt plays, Will and Foster 3pt makes

It was almost hard to appreciate the defense because the offense was so frustrating.
Allowing 43% 2pt, 10% 3pt, 37.5 eFG, 0.86ppp and forcing over 20% TO.   Only negative thing was allowing 40% OR



In regulation, we have held 10 of 15 conf opponents to 1.03 ppp or under AND 43% eFG or under (stupid Bay and Ku OTs).  Baylor game only one we lost

Ksu is now #1 in Def PPP and Def eFG.   For comparison, KU (who is #2 in both catergories) has only held its opp to 1.03 and 43% eFG in 3 of its 15 games.   Texas, who is #3 in eFG, 4th in PPP, has only held 5 of its 14 opponents to those numbers

Although one would have to back and look at the play and shot charts to see who actually did what.    This type of thing tends to be, at least IMO, typical of young teams.    The other teams picks it up a little, they don't respond, and or believe that it's going to be easy.  This has to be fixed, this team has proven that they can score in flurries, but these low points have got to be reduced.   Last night at stretches, you had both Freshman and upper classman playing like idiots, at times this is a very LBBIQ team.

i wonder what omari did that has reduced his minutes.  one of my favorite things about this season (and there's been a bunch) is the introduction of Driving Omari into our offense.

Imagine the  if we'd just made layups and bunnies last night.

Just answered your previous comment bro.  Cats don't have good or creative enough low post to bail themselves out of poor FG shooting.

I normally don't cringe over close misses, but one in particular, Wes' driving layup late, that kissed gently off the glass, then rolled around the rim and hung ever so enticingly, then came out?

That one actually caused me paint a portrait of expletives to the bball gods.

This may belong in the other thread, but when JT missed a wide open layup in the first half I almost threw my beer. It was a bad miss, even by JT standards.

WHAT A THREAD TITLE! WOW!

So I was home watching alone.  I've had the sniffles so I haven't been drinking much.  The game caused me to grab a beer.  I was frustrated and discouraged by halftime.  Enough to watch the Bachelor.  Then in the second half, in the span of several minutes, they called that F1, the game turned around, and I found out Delton committed.  That's how your day turns around folks!

what a great way to finish up a tuesday.  "hey rest of the week, idgaf"

I haven't been sick in well over a year now.  Vitamin C, Zinc, and Zicam.  Hit it, now.  You can do what sd says, too.  But get on the C, Zinc, and Zicam.  Seriously.  Do it.  Do it now.

It's because I didn't do the Zicam.  I was too lazy to follow my own regimen.  First time I've been uncomfortably sick in almost 2 years.  My own fault.

There is a rough correlation between Omari's minutes and Westicles's minutes.
