LBBIQ Denis Analysis:

Love him.  Seems to force teams to scramble back on defense even off made baskets possibly keeping them off the offensive glass  Great at creating his own shot though it hasn't been falling as much as it used to.  Has the ability to go off for 20+ which Martavious will never have.  Plays bad defense sometimes.  Seems to do well at breaking press.  Like when they try to trap him at halfcourt and he just leans into the defender forcing a call by the official and forcing them to stop trying to trap at half court.  Like his runner which he can get whenever he wants (goes back to creating his own shot I guess).  Isn't afraid to shoot when open early in possession which is what we want to do according to Frank (raises the number of possessions? ).  A:TO ratio is respectible in relation to the amount of sh1t he gets about it.  Don't know why this is.  Possibly our fans hate flashy turnovers and would rather have a bounce pass out of bounds 25 seconds into the shot clock  Probably some other stuff that I can't put into words because I have LBBIQ.

I've got to get with 'Zacker on this one... there's a slightly empty feeling in the pit of my stomach due the Catz play so far this season. I can't say for sure what's causing it. I think it has something to do with the identity of last years team vs. this years team. I think it's the lack of junkyardiness. Between Dom, Denis, and LuCo, we lost a ton of JYCs... probably the three junkyardiest on the team. This years team has a completely different identity and maybe not much identity to speak of at all. At least not yet.

sounds like this boils down to a fun-to-watch issue.

sd, there are plenty more that i didnt link.  The Denis hate was borderline comical at times last year.

Yeah, it was pretty awesome how hated he was by our tard fans

[catzacker]

it's his defense more than his shot selection that is hurting us.  but if you're on the "I hate denis bandwagon" but don't in the same sentence say who should play, then stfu because it's pointless (also you're gay).

Disagree.  I think you can hate someone but still want him to play over people that you hate more.

I'm not saying you can't think this, again, I'm just saying you're gay.

WTF is up with playing 4 or 5 top-25 teams for our non-conference schedule?  I know SOS is important for seeding in 'the dance' but JFC so are W-L.


martin's not a complete foooocking pussy.  foreign concept for most kstaters, i know.


RPI is THE most important factor for the Non-con.  Let your conference schedule be your time to worry about wins and losses.


You guys are talking about a meltdown if lose to WSU; so was Pete full of crap with this post?

You really helped us through those tough times.

Gave me the confidence to post something like this:

It won't be meltdown about making the tournament if we lost to Wazzu, it will be a meltdown about how overrated we are and how we won't win crap against our rivals or titles.

a lot of people just like to meltdown.

If we lose in Pullman feel free to be ticked, I might even meltdown a little.

Meh, we can't on one hand acknowledge on one hand that Frank creates adversity and tinkers with the roster and rotations in the early season and then on the other hand really cares much when we lose games like this.  If Frank had a consistent 8-9 man rotation with players understanding their roles I would care more.  We know Frank makes sacrifices to build towards February and March so I expect adversity in November and December.

[michigancat]

Yeah, I'll be pretty meh if we lose.  I might post something about how Dom would have bothered Klay or Freddy Brown shooting 48% from three, but that's about it.

Really wish I posted more then, I would wear myself out slapping Dax in chat, just didn't want to :takesbait: in all 4,627,294 of his Denis and empty scholarship threads

[Bill Clarahan]

Hell, nobody liked Denis early last year, and if anyone  says they did they're lying,

You can go eff yourself because I loved the little mexican SOB

Sorry this took so long but I've been off rough ridin' myself, it was pretty enjoyable too, but I digress.

You dipchits get too anxious about everythig K-State , smoke some weed , or take a prozac, cause the basketball coach will massage the youngsters into a totally different bunch of JYC by March.

Even while Frank is still Frankin' around with his teams in Nov/Dec, I still expect us to beat Colorado/Tech level teams, even on the road.  Wash St will be lucky to be an NIT team this year, this is simply a team we should beat.

i admit kenpom is making very nervous.  hoping it plays out like last year and we'll be a more consistent/focused road team and handle these guys w/ relative ease.

I agree except that I think Wazzu is a way overrated team and if we lose to them it makes me wonder about our games against our conference rivals. I understand we usually are a much stronger team later in the year though.
