Gotta give Bz some credit for STLHin' up that 1st half.  Granted, Frank said he was trying some new zone offense, but nonetheless CU muddied it up and slowed it down.  Fortunately we had Lou-bron to bail us out the start the 2nd half...

like i said at half time, this game had SLTH written all over it. Lead most of the half, be close at half time, then get blown out in the second half.

Colonsborough brought it tonight.  stepped up big in the 2nd IMO.

Kansas State vs. Colorado

Colorado Quotes
Head Coach Jeff Bzdelik

Opening Statement...
"I thought we put ourselves in a good position after the first 20 minutes. But the start of the second 20 minutes we turned the ball over, giving K-State some easy baskets. We missed several shots which put us on our heels and allowed them to really push it hard at us and get a couple of easy baskets. They got a couple of offensive boards which gave them a couple more easy baskets. We had an inability to make shots, inability to take care of the basketball and our inability to put bodies on people allowed them to get separation early on."

On K-State's defense...
"Well I am not going to be one of those coaches that says, 'We did not do this, we did not do that.'  We did not play well, and half of that was K-State's defense, and their strength on the offensive boards."

On K-State...
"They are as good as anybody, and we have played a very difficult schedule. Our schedule will be ranked as one of the Top 25 most difficult in the country. K-State is certainly a good team with a lot of experience in the backcourt and athleticism, strength and size in the frontcourt. I expect them to finish very strongly and make some noise in the postseason."

This was one of those games thathad we not pulled ahead as much in the second half would've unleashed the SLTH lovers and their Frank hate.  Tons of "did you see how under control their guards were?  Did you see how many backdoor cuts for easy buckets they made?"

And. "Our offense is like streetball.  Never going to win long term with that disorganized, out-of-control, fast-break stuff."

"5 passes, 3 screens, 2 backdoor cuts, and a nice easy lay-up off the glass."

Our biggest improvement on D is defending the back door.  IMO.

i never know when cire is serious.

Our biggest improvement on D is defending the back door.  IMO.

As well as protecting the rim and altering shots not necessarly blocking them. The attempted block shot is usually one of the worst plays in basketball. K-State actually does a fair job of altering shots while not getting out of position this year compared to last season with limited athleticism and length in past year's frontcourt.

Don't stare directly right at the SLTH sun...you could suffer eye bball damage.

Hate AAU ball

"Exactly!  That's where they get it!  They don't teach fundamentals to these kids any more?  When I was playing H.S. ball for the 4A state champs, we knew a thing or two about dribbling without carrying, working our pivot foot and setting good hard screens at mid court against pressure.  And it was pass and cut!  PASS AND CUT!  Not this iso/clear out jail-ball!  I'll tell you where I think it comes from, DUUUUHH....LAAAAN-TAAA.  If only those youngsters would listen to Underwood, he understands BASKETBALL, not this AAU sheeit.  I'm a gunna go beat my wife and kick my dawg."

This guy is loaded with excuses.

This guy is loaded with excuses. 

It really goes beyond excuses b/c its standard SLTH talk.  Thing is, I think in most cases they really believe it.  All they need is "one more year" and they'll get it turned around.
