(1st post, so sarcasm skills are lackng - please forgive)Gonna be fun to watch this one - west coast refs like a polite game - could spell trouble for a hard-nosed team like our Catz, but our depth could negate that.Here's an extremely accurate and incredibly insightful scouting report from a WSU site, cougcenter.com : http://www.cougcenter.com/2010/12/2/1851950/wsu-vs-kansas-state-scouting-the-ksu-wildcats_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _btw - the only thing worse than the food at Spangles are their ridiculous commercials E M A W y'all
...there ya go Chief, we good now?
Spraddled!Freshman point guard's five 3's propel Cats past Cougars.
Second, this is a game where the midrange jumper could play a huge role. The Cougs have proved exceptionally adept at that shot this year with Thompson and Faisal Aden leading the way. With great pressure on the perimeter and shot blockers waiting around the basket, the 15-footer can be a powerful weapon.
They play a fun brand of basketball to watch.
This is a game the Cougs can win. But they're going to have to do some things we know they can do but maybe haven't shown enough of this year to do it. Honestly? I think their best chance rests in the referees calling a tight game. If they can get K-State out of what they do best -- fluster their opponents by harassing them physically -- much of KSU's physical advantage melts away, as many of their players aren't particularly skilled.
QuoteThey play a fun brand of basketball to watch.this should shut up some of the critics.
In fact, when KSU's guards penetrate, they often will just throw it up in the hopes that a rebounder is left unboxed (is that a word?) out when the weakside help rotates to contain penetration
How fitting that KU plays UCLA, the most tradition rich program in the Pac 10, while K-State plays Washington State.
