(4) top 25 finishes in the past 30 years? It might be time to admit that it's hard to recruit/coach basketball in Manhattan ks

If only Manhattan were as appealing as, say, Ames, Iowa!

Wait, are you saying we're not a tournament caliber team?

i think this team would be poised to make a deep tournament run as long as we don't run into any juggernauts.

Real chance we end up in the triple digits after tonight’s home loss to Tech. It was close tho, and they are pretty good, so we may actually move up. Time will tell.

the Red Raiders held Kansas State scoreless for the final 5-plus minutes in their 61-57 win on Tuesday night

We had something similar happen 2 games ago. This is disappointing. I’m just over here expecting to win.

We played Tech close enough not to drop a single spot in the kenpoms

Looks like the Cats had a 12 pt lead on the road with about 10 minutes to go and lost last night...

Apathy has definitely set in on the basketball section of this blog. No game thread and hardly any posts

I started watching when we had a 3 point lead and something happened where everyone was afraid to make a play. No one wants to shoot or create a shot. They were also having Hawkins chase around a shooting guard which was weird.

Teams getting better imo but not enough and it's too late.

They were running some decent offense that got DNG good looks in the paint while building out the lead. Then went back to dribbling the ball 30 feet from the basket for 20 seconds and chucking a 3 at the end of the shot clock for some reason.

Trim, I was going to @ you last night because the game was on ESPNU, but there were no tac light type commercials. They've really upped their game, I was sad not to hear bub, bub, bub bubh, bulbhead, not a single time. I miss making fun of Big 12 hoops in gE chat

Ha, I think we started watching at the same time. They were actually getting but passing up decent mid range looks only to dribble and pass around for another 10 seconds to take a way worse shot or throw the ball away.

I don't even get espnu anymore, but I'll acknowledge that game counts as being on tv.

Who would you put at above 50% of being here next year?

Castillo, Hausen, and Tyreek Smith? Baye Fall?

wetwillie · « **Reply #70 on:** January 23, 2025, 03:38:40 PM »

I'd put Taj Manning at 100%

The B12 is just too strong for us to drop much in kenpom it seems. We’ve actually gained a spot to No. 95 after the three straight losses following the Houston game.
