Why is KSU hoops this bad?

[Bookcat]

Really thought we'd be solid after boat racing the exhibs and scoring a crapton of points...

haven't beaten anyone good....

Long Beach State set the tone.

Why aren't we good?

Poorly coached team, I think your lack of length really hurts us defensively. A lot of our players are cowards and don't want to be scorers when facing a physical defense.

Hmmm interesting question.  My gut says coaching is the problem but my head tells me that the problem is coaching.  BTW my heart says coaching also.

yea idk about the length but we are definitely soft.  got our crap packed 9 times on saturday.

We don't defend. Rebounding and forcing TOs is good enough, but this is oscar's worst eFG% defensive team (so far) by a long ways. And to top it off, just like last year's team, we foul like crazy and send people to the FT line a ton. Until either one (or both) of those get at least slightly corrected this team will struggle. Also, we are very up and down shooting and if we aren't going to defend we better simply out shoot and out score people and our offense isn't good enough to do that.

We defend like a bunch of idiots. Everybody knows we can't handle ball screens. I don't think have we a shooting problem, I believe we have a getting good looks problem. More players needs to be looking to score. I think he have enough good shooters on the team.

M-N has been brad essexing the eff out of his posts lately.  Really bringing it.

even out the variance a little and kstate could easily be 6-2.

Thanks sys.  A rainbow of hope and happiness passed my eyes.  This dogpile on Weber is disheartening.  I still have hope the way we played against Arizona will become the norm.  Our guys seem to lack confidence.   We are missing DJamer's energy.  I  would like to see more of Malek.  We need to get out of this nuetered Cat coma.

[dal9]

I'm pro-oscar, but the offense against UT is on the staff. Junk defense or no, you know the matchup zone is coming, and you got to have some credible plan of attack.  Not whatever that was for the first half plus.

[pissclams]

hopefully in the next few games the ball bounces our way

will be great to roll out a few great wins

It takes time for the chicken nuggets to firm up.  You know what happens if you rush it?  Runny chicken nuggets.

It's a piece of cake to bake a pretty cake; you've got to do the cooking by the book.
