If Tang wins tomorrow, consider my faith in him restored.

lol, is that all it takes? A road win against the #3 team in the country?

While losing tomorrow certainly isn't worthy of any lengthy discussion.

This road losing streak needs to end soon, because its on the door step of being record breaking

There are a couple of gettable ones coming up and yeah, it's real problematic if they don't get one.

If cats basketball wins next Saturday, this season will officially be a huge success.

The focus this off-season needs to be keeping as much of this roster together as we can.

Absolutely. Should have been the case last season.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

There is a decent core available to return.

I would like to keep Dug and Hausen but I don't think anyone else really moves the needle. I do like what Mobi is doing for us but it shouldn't be hard to keep him.

I guess if the D2 eligibility thing clears the legal system you can probably get more

They need to keep most if not all these guys. If they can develop Mobi and Ugo like they did David, that would be great. They have a strong core but will need a couple of dudes to replace the production of David and Coleman. It's a lot easier to hit on the portal if you need to find a couple of starters instead of 4 starters and 4 key reserves.

If we try to replace DNG with Ugo or Mobi in the starting lineup we will be worse than this year.  We have a bunch of bench players left after Coleman, DNG, and Max Jones leave. Hausen should be a 6th man type that comes in for 15-20 minutes but we probably have to promise him starter minutes to hang around.  We can keep everyone with eligibility not named Buddy but it's hard to see them hitting on 3 starter level guys in the portal if they only give themselves 4 slots.

Can't imagine Manning staying unless he just loves K-State. Ideally find quality at shooting guard, small forward and power forward or center and some overall seasoned depth like Max of Slles. Hopefully, with Dug and Tang on the same page, it doesn't take 2-plus months of the season for a team to find itself.

Uh, I'm not advocating for that, at all. I said we need to replace a couple of starters. Ugo needs to progress to be a reliable rotational player.

Taj and his family love K-State and this staff and the feeling is mutual. This is the only high major program he's going to be a scholarship athlete at and the coaches love his attitude and work ethic. He's not going anywhere.

Tang is making me a believer again; at least in his ability to get a team to play great basketball.

The 3rd game of a basketball season is not a place to lose the faith.

But our 6 game slide in January definitely had me totally checked out so  :dunno:

My bar was high because of all of the Dollars we spent and Dug transferring in. Glad the ship has been righted. It was looking really grim in January.
