If they did they are a hypothetical fool. oscar is a reporters dream, he is the most candid coach in college basketball.It's about the media taking quotes and removing the context.

“I don’t think any other team in the nation has that opportunity to go three games back-to-back-to-back that are top 10 teams in the nation,” Wade said. “We just didn’t jump on it like we should’ve, but it was good that we got one of them at least. These next six games are big for us now.”

Head Coach oscar WeberOn first half defense…“I thought we did not fight on defense. We let them do whatever they want. They would make this cut and that cut, get in the paint and kick it. They jumped up and made tough shots. They got going on a run and started talking trash. We just did not do a good job fighting that. On the other end, we did not put any pressure on their defense.”On slow start…“I thought we had a great practice on Monday. I thought yesterday was pretty good. You do not have D.J. [Johnson], and Kamau [Stokes] hurts his foot. He has a procedure today just to play. You have got tough times. You have got adversity. You have got to rise up and have some character and toughness down the stretch. I feel good about our guys. We are going to come back on Saturday and play at a high level.”On calling the team’s final timeout with over four minutes left in the game…“They were in zone and I did not think our guys were prepared. I wanted to make sure we knew how to attack the zone. We actually scored, but we had a couple of really uncomfortable possessions. Then on the other end, I wanted to make sure we knew what we were doing. I wanted out guys to stay poised and give ourselves a chance.” On The Flush’s 21-point game…“I thought he attacked the hoop. Like I said earlier, he only had one three. He was more patient and got to the basket. You go 9-of-14, which is a pretty good outing. I wish he would listen to me on his free throws, but hopefully sooner or later he will get that going.”

Foreign travel is only one part of the adversity K-State will face and benefit from, Weber said, in its time in Europe. Additionally, the Wildcats will face off with unknown teams in varying environments with different rules and officials who Weber said commonly brew up some “home cooking” on the court.“I think that makes it even better because you have some tough situations that you deal with,” said Weber, adding that gyms without air conditioning filled with opposing teams’ fans are other forms of adversity the team may come across. “So you have all those situations. I think those all kind of add up to bringing teams along.”
"We haven’t had two home games in a row. Everyone else has had that. That hasn’t helped."

That hasn’t helped."i checked this, assuming that weber was incorrect. but, credit where credit is due, kstate is the only big 12 team that hasn't had (or won't have) back to back home conference games. the schedulemakers grow ever more devious.
Doesn't that also mean we are the only Big 12 team without back to back road games?
The fact that oscar knows that fact is astounding and such a great indication of what a master-level excuse maker oscar is.
I mean it'd be great for locker room talk to fire the guys up about how they hate us or they doubt us or its stacked against us. But you don't say that crap to media.

But you don't say that crap to media.oscar does this all the time though.Oh I know. I was just saying a good coach would use that to fire up a team and motivate a team. Not use it as an excuse to the media. I'm sure all coaches look at the conference schedule. I don't see coaches complaining to the media about Saturday Monday turnarounds...
