Jackson grabbing at his left foot after he sits. That is good to see.

How convenient...

Beverley isn't a Big 12 player. That's painfully obvious with a step up in competition.

I'm not going to overreact to one bad game where KState players couldn't miss. Obviously we sucked, but this team still has potential.

 

[cyatheart]

How many post feeds this half 2-3? Look no further than that when you wonder why the offense goes stale.

Prohm doesn't feed the post, hasn't in 3 years here

 

[CyForPresident]

Do you recall the GMac years? We didn't even mention the possibility of any tournament for several years.

I remember, I was a Student.

Getting a pass in 2018 like GMac for his entire career is fine, but this team better win in 2019

Probably 5th or 6th I think.

I can see them 3rd after KU and WVU.

 

[clonebb]

Gonna be a long year.

A learning experience. Having a full compliment of guys probably keeps this closer (Brase does well at help defense without getting too out of position). We certainly can’t be loose with the ball, miss a bunch of free throws and have DJ play poorly and expect to win.

This team will get better (and those thinking K State is bad are idiots).

K state isn't bad, but they middle of the road at best in this conference

I can’t. West Virginia and Oklahoma are way better on paper and much better coached. Still see tech or TCU ahead of them at 4th as well.

OU and Tech are both better. TCU probably also.

 

[NorthCyd]

That was humbling and embarrassing. Sorry for those of you trying to polish that turd. It's fine. It's the rebuilding year we all thought it would be. We will still have some good moments this year and be a good team next year.

 

[awd4cy]

Trae Young will hit just a few 3s on us im thinking.

 

[Gunnerclone]

Game threads just continue to be complete tasty tacos bloody diarrhea.

 

[Blandboy]

well, that sucked.

Middle of the road in the best conference is pretty decent.

 

[CYber_saber]

Reality check for ncaa dreams

 

[Nelcyn]

The team has lost their mojo.

 

[Gunnerclone]

Middle of the road in the best conference is pretty decent.

We were middle of the road last year and a 5 seed in the tourney. This league has been a meatgrinder since going to 10. No matter what happens Wigginton and Lard are getting invaluable reps.

 

[AuH2O]

It was lost a bit because the game was still tight, but with about 3 min left in the first half KSU got second chance buckets on 4/5 possessions, including 3 threes. This team rebounds like garbage and had to shoot 70% to hang with a mediocre team.

Wigginton takes a lot of shots early in the shot clock that he could get any time. Not necessarily terrible shots but you should be able to get something better.

Just enjoy the fun times and the glimpses of the future. This is what a rebuild looks like. There will be some fun games along the way.

Sad to say that Jackson looked like a child in a man’s game tonight. While the list of team deficiencies was lengthy and widespread, I wonder if we wouldn’t be better off sitting Jackson and letting Lewis develop his game.
