About to tip off

Unfortunately in Dallas we get Tech vs Baylor, so commentary/online links to watch the game are greatly appreciated.

KSU hits 2 3's (man that guy has an ugly looking shot) then a lucky floater in the lane. theyll cool off

Ah, welcome to Big 12 play and horrible referees. Also, the worst bball fans in the league right behind TxTech and their coach Frank "Crazy Eyes" Martin.

Man, I love Big 12 basketball.

I'm loving KStates defensive plan.

sooner518
1/10/2009, 02:12 PM
if I were a KSU fan, I would be PISSED with how they are guarding Blake. Blake just caught the ball past the NBA 3 point line and he dribbled 3 or 4 times inside before anyone even tried to play defense on him. Stupid strategy

their offense against a zone looks about as stagnant as ours, except they hit their 25 foot 3 pointers........

Ton Loc
1/10/2009, 02:16 PM
That was a bad call, but what is Blake doing trying to steal the ball out on the perimeter.

Also, why are we playing zone? Is it just because their point guard has been taking guys off the dribble and throwing lucky crap in the basket?

I was on the "We're not Top 10 caliber" bandwagon a while ago. Then I watched some of the other top 10 teams struggle against pretty subpar comp. Honestly, I think we're just about as good as anyone, there's just an epidemic of sloppy play from everyone this year.

Good win, on the road, against a team that will be fighting for a tourny spot in March.

I think KSU is one of those teams that will struggle against the better teams in conference, however, if they don't let the "ones they should win" slip away, they could be a tourny team.

Real test for this team comes on Monday. Could be the difference in winning the regular season crown and a #1 seed in the conference tourny.
