Feels like he hasn't been 100% for quite a while. He was so dominant in the early season that he took us from a 3 seed type team to a 1. Have to think he has lost just enough burst with the injury to make offense a struggle for him in conference play. Hope we don't see him again until the NCAA tournament, and I hope he's close to healthy when we do.
Agree on Gilbert. Let him rest up until the dance. Unless he's 100% next week, which I kinda doubt.

One minor complaint. We are clearly coached to box out and let other players come in to get the rebound. But sometimes you have to use your instincts and go get the damn ball. Momcilovic is the worst offender. He lets a ball or two every game go to the other team when it's right in front of him. Go be an athlete! You're 6'8.
There was one play in the 2nd half where Milan really just watched a guy from Kstate collect a ball that was right in front of him. I was screaming at the screen, stop being so passive Milan! Exactly what you said. Milan seemed out of it today for most of the game. Need him to be aggressive on both ends.

I want Nojus to succeed here. But he’s stuck behind some very good guards right now and him not coming in to play a few minutes at a position he doesn’t play at doesn’t bother me.

I think he's got talent but even when he played he didn't exactly fill it up.

Keldermen had 0 TO and 2 assists today in 4 spot minutes. Imo that's perfect.

Great win Cyclones! I really did not want to get swept by K-State, of all teams. Complete payback for the Ames loss.

So glad we have a coach like TJ (so glad we have TJ!). He stays composed during the game. He coaches with dignity, respect for the game and the refs. His players play hard and with quiet determination. They mirror TJ's behavior. Contrast his style with Tang.

Tang is always whining, yapping, complaining about something. He looks lost when things do not go his way. His players play just like him. Monkey see.

I hope Tang stays a long time as a pussycat. While he remains at K-State they usually will be middle of the road, sometimes less, in conference. He does not act like a good coach, and is not a good coach.

Yeah im not blaming him. He’s very young on a top 10 team thats heavy at his position. Kelderman did his job today though so credit to him.

Way up there
After a frustrating couple of weeks it felt good to beat the **** out these guys. I didn't get to watch but listened and it was a boring game to listen to on radio in a good way. The second half of BYU was good bball, a win or two in KC would have me feeling really good about the NCAA. Would really like to see Gilbert get healthy and have a nice couple of games down there to really get some good momentum going.

I agree that Nojus has talent, unfortunately he plays a bit "sped up." He rushes the dribble and his shot at this stage of his college career. Kelderman looks like an old veteran out there (in spot minutes). Go Clones.

You have to be really, really good to play as a true freshman at this level. Consistently. I think Nojus can be a very good player for us and this off season is going to be a big one for him.

It doesn’t bother me, but it is likely influential on his decision to return

There is being behind good guards, and getting no time in a buy game or comfortable wins/losses
