I knew it was possible we could lose this game. Then when we lost Foster, it was even more distinct. However, the stupid optimist in me had this team rallying to win an ugly game on the road.

I got the ugly part right.

A team in position at 45-44 with the ball multiple times simply falls apart. A senior throws the ball out of bounds coming out of a timeout in a mind numbing turnover. Tech goes on a 13-0 run and its not even close.

This is not just about Marcus Foster not playing, its what is left around this program and its not enough to win against the worst team in this league. Its about this program being in position to finish under .500 for a season for the first time in a dozen years. Despite a brief respite in January, this is about a program lapsing backwards (again) and everything I wrote about in a reactionary post a month and a half ago still being true.

This is a mess and it sucks. I should't let myself get caught up so that pathetic losses like this sting so much.

Brad Underwood, in a lesser conference mind you, is 50-6 at SFA.

Yeah, I saw Gottlieb's tweet too.

That's shockingly bad defense.

Can someone tweet Currie about how Underwood is doing?

This team lacks passion, fight, uhh, skills. They act like they dont care.

I need one of those magnets, who had those? BID!

Yeah, Tech has had only 2 games with better offensive efficiency this year. Against South Carolina State and Prairie View A&M. Currently 324 and 326 respectively in kenpom.

Well it is appropriate to point out.

I was busy all afternoon, and didn't hear the Foster news until I turned on the game at halftime. As a LBBIQ fan, I was completely annoyed with how shitty the team is when the ball is in their possession. Every basket felt like a miracle. Tech did not impress me either. This is not a Baylor team with shooters and size, or an Iowa St team that has offensive skill, or a OU Lon team that runs efficient offensive sets with great shooters. Tech sucks and they ran us out of the gym.

Oh, Tech is terrible. Very bad basketball team.

I rough ridin' hate that gothchock guy, he always goes off against us.

pvegs · « **Reply #11 on:** February 04, 2015, 10:45:31 PM »

It was fun to get a few surprise W's post Marcus benching, but this really isn't that surprising. We struggled to beat the same dogshit Tech team at home at full strength. oscar never fixed the issues, because the issues are that we aren't talented or well coached.

Might I add...

Westicles becomes more thoroughly disappointing every game.

kso_FAN · « **Reply #13 on:** February 04, 2015, 10:48:38 PM »

I can't get over how bad the defense was. 64 points in 50 possessions. Your average K-State fan won't realize how bad this is because 64 points doesn't "seem" like that much.

1.27 points per possession allowed. Tech was averaging .84 points per possession in Big 12 play coming into this game and had the 1 game vs ISU in Big 12 play at better than .93 points per possession. That's a really bad offense scoring at will against us.

Foster's fault, can be ignored.

with foster out, it had to be obvious that kstate would struggle to defend.

Clearly I underestimated his impact on our defensive efficiency.

we took him for granted.

I got roasted when I said that Tre Harris wasn't capable enough as an athlete to even attempt to defend at this level. Clearly this wasn't all his fault, but he's a really bad defender and it certainly was a big factor in Tech's offensive efficiency tonight.

I have shared that concern.

He's super slow and unathletic. It's a shame because all he needs to be is an average defender with the way he can shoot.

Harris would have been fine on defense if this hadn't been his first game.

The worst defenders tonight, in order, were:
1. Hurt
2. Wes
3. Nino
4. Vulture

yoman · « **Reply #24 on:** February 04, 2015, 11:16:10 PM »

That reminds me, can we talk about how hilarious it is that Vulture started? It's like some beautiful middle school crap, or something Frank would do against FHSU
