IU lost to Boston...

We're rocking the dunks, they're rocking the threes... I'm impressed with our inside game and our awareness on the quick look off passes that are leaving guys open under the hoop.

Also, I thought Sutton was gunna pull the hoop down on that last dunk. It looked like it was unstable lol.

Halftime:


Ole Miss 32
KSU 30


Not bad considering some pretty sloppy play.

I am still trying to get used to the new faces to where I can tell them apart down low.

I cant tell if its Kelly, Samuels, or Judge when a big has it. I've got JHR down tho.

Bramlage is empty. I guess thats what happen when the men play at the same time.

Yeah, thats because there isn't a game at Bramlage, dumbass.

Also, your post doesn't make sense.

So the women are not playing washington state right now? It is playing on FSN Midwest. Now look who's the dumbass.

I suppose I am. Oops. I saw X's ugly grill and lashed out.

And can ya blame me? Who the eff watches women's basketball unless it happens to be tourney time while you're flipping channels?

Of course its empty lol. It's empty even when the men aren't playing. I hate lay ups.

They call 5 seconds there?

In 2003 when I lived in Junction City I got free tickets for a women's game and it wasn't that empty. Of course they were ranked #3 in the country at the time.

Yeah, when they are ranked real high its kind of "aww thats cute" type of thing so everyone cheers them on.

Under 16:

Ole Miss 42

What the hell is up with Colon pouting on the bench? He looks like he got grounded!

Bach to down 10 w 12 to play

Under 12:

Ole Miss 53
KSU 41

1-10 3pt

4-15 FT

Holy shit, a made free throw.

LMAO

Always love the guy that misses a dunk by 6 inches

I swear Ole Miss has made about 80% of their shots in the second half.

Under 8:

Ole Miss 68
KSU 56

I just turned this on.... Christ, WTF happened? I know our offenses suck under Frank, but damn....

Guards are getting dominated. Didn't figure they would play this bad. Can't make FT's, and not playing defense.

Not too concerning - need to avoid the bad losses early in the year, this will not be a bad loss.

Under 4:

Ole Miss 80

KSU 68

Meow!

Maybe not, but our lack of offense despite the much better talent concerns me. Seems like there's always one guy that goes off against us (heard one guy had 27 points...), there's a time when things like that go from "bad luck" to "bad play/coaching."

Much better talent? I don't think we have much better talent than Ole Miss.

Poor defense, poor shooting all around. Frustrating.

Wait, what?

Who do we get tomorrow?

I meant our talent compared to last season. Kelly/Judge vs. Kent/Colon. But now that I keep watching it looks more like our defense isn't doing squat.... Whatever, at least we made a free throw.

Dayton on Sunday.

Of course, give credit to UMIss, they have played a great game.

Pretty sure I just heard that an Ole Miss guy has 27 points. How many times last year did one guy just tear us up all day? I'm saying that at some point, coaching has to come into play with giving up that many points to one guy.

Gah, I'm just frustrated. Been a long day and I come home to this crap.

Good news. That would not be a bad loss either, and if we could steal a win, even better.

Yup, they've made a ton of shots.

Final:

Ole Miss 86
KSU 74

Teams tied over the last 12 minutes. :D

Why don't you tell us how many times one guy had 27 (or more) against KSU last season?

BTW, great thread idea, Saul.

I stole it from Ari Chiefs. Who stole it from you. Figure it is good for all KSU sports and goings on.

Don't think we have a prayer tomorrow but i'd like to see the Cats play well in Lincoln.

damn we can't shoot for shit.

Kentucky: Jodie Meeks (37)
Oregon: Tajaun Porter (28)
Oklahoma: Blake Griffin (29)
Kansas (not 27, but...): Cheeseburger Collins (24), Tyshawn Taylor (20)
Baylor: LaceDarius Dunn (33)
Colorado: Dwight Thorne II (30)
Oklahoma State (again, not 27...): Byron Eaton (25)

Gawd, that was painful to type. Especially Oregon & uk (both of them).

That's not counting all the random dudes going for 20 who probably never saw nearly that many points again...


Don't bother with me, I'm just pissed/frustrated. Been a long day.

Cats up 7 against Dayton

Playing well thus far, but the offense is struggling a bit... I love the defense.

I think getting off to a good start is going to be important for us this year.

CRAP! Denis just went down hard, he's holding his elbow.... I hope he's alright.

He's fine.

I like the spacing and the movement, just need to hit the open shots and finish around the rim.

Defense is very impressive.

This. Jamar & Jake both look better than I've seen them this year. Dominique's my boy, but I think Samuels needs to start.

Hopefully we can finish the 1st half strong and continue to play well in the 2nd half as well. So far I like what I see.

Well, not so much anymore. 2 wide open 3's in a row in transition.

Jeez, these refs are real whistle happy for 5 minutes, then they let 'em play for 5 minutes....

I'm hoping we can stop them here & hit a 3 so we can take a 10 point lead into the break...

35-28 :ksu: Halftime.

Halftime:

KSU 35

#21 Dayton 28

35-28 at the half... Looks like a football score.


Luis Colon still in street clothes... Not that we're missing him, but does anyone know the story on his injury/when he's supposed to be back?

I read the other day it is an off-court issue now, not injury.

Stayed out late with hometown friends?

That must be why he has been pouting his fat face on the sideline all weekend. So much for a homecoming.

We on TV?

nm found it

Come to Puerto Rico, you don't need a passport.

Interesting. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think he's suited up at all this year... Like I said, we're not missing him and I've never really been a fan of his, but I think it's interesting that he hasn't played yet.

Anyway, 2nd half just started and it looks like we're just trying to penetrate the lane & draw fouls on offense. I like it.

Pullen is hurt now.

FYI, former K-State offensive lineman Jeromy Clary just got carted off the field during the San Diego-Denver game with a knee injury.


Jake just get the wind knocked out of him?

Man, gotta finish that JHR

Nice steal. KSU up 11.

Pullen is a warrior.

Jake must be alright, he just made a nice crossover & drew the foul. Seriously, I love it that we're attacking the basket. It's an athletic team, why not use it to our advantage?

Would like to extend this lead....

Wow, that was a BS foul call on JamSam. Nice pass to Sutton, though.

And 1

Jamar Samuels, you are a monster.

Up by 15.

Dude, our bigs have played dominant this weekend. I don't know if it's because its been so long since I've seen us with more than one tall guy who can rebound and dunk on a regular basis. It is very nice for a change.

Also, you think this will count for a signature win come tourny time?

Gotta hit those WIDE open shots...

Hard to say - Dayton doesn't look that great.

Under no circumstances should Merriwether do anything but play D.

I don't pretend to have much of a clue when it comes to basketball, but if Dayton continues to win, I think it will. I don't think the loss to Ole Miss is gunna hurt too bad, either.

Frank won't be happy with that possession we had a few minutes ago, took 3 3's and missed all of them, then gave up an easy bucket.

That was a bad pass by Pullen. But he's impressing me with how he keeps going to guys and talking to them about what they're doing wrong. Didn't look like he was pouting there, just trying to be a leader.

Jake looks to be turning into a leader, as well. Just ran down the court in transition & slapped the ball away without committing a foul, then chewed out McGruder about something... Good things. We look much better than we did 48 hours ago.

Dayton's got this back to an 8 point game, still 11:31 left. We're not out of the woods just yet....

FYP

Starting to look like the other night. Everything falling for Dayton.
