Baylor got 4 or 5 shots that trip because Cats were completely incapable of rebounding most of the 2nd half and OT.

Rebounding is one of the few good things Baylor does at least.

up by 3, under 10 seconds on the clock, and we don't foul to prevent the 3pt shot. Dumb. Thankth Bruth...

Weak

Late game situations seem to be an issue this year.

In regulation, all we had to do was either grab the rebound from 1 of the 3 shots BU missed or have our SR Guard actually guard the only guy that could hit a 3 - Heslip.

Or foul.
Or NOT GIVE UP THE ****ING 10pt LEAD. :banghead:

Or we could have kept our PG from last year, or Bruce could have closed on a real big man. Those things will keep us out.

I just refuse to give him a pass when he ****s things up. And AFAIC'd he failed to keep Angel, he failed to land a big, and those are things that will keep us out of the NCAA.

But, since he beat KU, a high % of our reerun fans (not you) will overlook the obvious shortcomings of this squad. Shortcomings that should have been addressed by this coaching staff. I'm not willing to do that.

And the reason I'm not willing to do that is because even now, I feel Bruce Weber making post game statements like this: "Missing FT's, failing to grab a rebound, losing your man on defense, those things hurt you". Instead he should be saying "those things hurt us". This is how Bruce addressed the media in his last days at IU. He never took the responsibility for the shortcomings he caused.

He has a way of deflecting the criticism away from himself and that shit bothers me a great deal.

But Gene Keady says Bruthie is one of the best 10 coaches in America.:shrug::shrug::shrug: As a KU fan, I'm loving the fact that he bought himself another half-decade with his win over us last week.

TCU is ****ing terrible.

Yet they are w/in two.

What's going on cawkchief? Haven't seen you in a while.

Cats playing like shit. TCU has 20 points, 13 of which are directly related to turnovers. 13 in the first half alone. Way to have them prepared Bruce.

You show Bruce some respect.

Looks like moving Jevon Thomas on to Anderson has helped spark a run. Up 11, under 8 to play.

Way to have them ready for a roadie, Bruce.

Thank Og I'm working and don't have to watch it. 41-17 just before halftime.

LMAO

Broke the 7 game road losing streak. Tech, as expected, pulled out all the stops to beat the Cats. Free pizza to entice students and they drew 10k. Oh well, another day another team's super bowl. How hum.

Flagship Is gonna flagship tho.

LMAO

Titletown rolls on. Well done!

When opposing teams see "KSU" on the jersey, you always get their best shot.

A true "t-shirt" moment.

It's tough being even teams super bowl. But we can handle that. Flagship gonna flagship.

Fire up the "DVD" burner.

Alex Delton, tho

Saw that on Twitter. Great news.

They had 4k students last Tuesday at the game against little bro. TTU was determined to bring the house against the flagship tho.

Bringing it like the Seattle defense.

Just an incredible brand. Synonymous with winning.

Valdosta state agrees. It all about branding.

And another QB signed on again today. Damn. It's almost unfair.

Its criminal

Can't wait to see all of the titles flagship-U wins this year...

Already happened. Sorry you missed it.

Their Baseball team is dominating again...as is their basketball team.

Feels good.

RUMOR: Source=B+

KSU will construct a special 10$ million building to house the original formations of The Wildcat Offense.

Delton got that icky speed.

Yes he does. Big get.

So with QB Alex Delton in the fold, I can see Snydz scheming the faces off of Big XII coaches again.

Rumblings that the announcement (and hopefully arc renderings) of the second phase of BSFS stadium will be Friday.

Flagship sails are up! Cool jet stream at our back!

emaw folks seem to think Spring Game...

From this thread:

http://goemaw.com/forum/index.php?topic=30980.225

Unless we are building bball housing. But I don't think we are going to throw any money at something as wasteful as that.

welp, Crap trumps the other sources, hooray!

Unless he was referring to some other construction....

welp, he says it's not about Vanier.

Dammit! I guess I took a little license with that quote. However, now I'm wondering what they have up their sleeve now?

odd since Dax hasn't said anything...he apparently does nothing but comb library stacks and county clerk filings in his spare time.

LMAO

Yep. He certainly knows every detail of how a university athletic building is financed. And how much donating and how much revenue and how much profit.

Dude's the king of that.

While we wait for Friday to see what project or announcement will come from Currie, I found this gem from Gary Parrish about the dreaded storming of the court.

I want to be excited about Delton....but why should I be, did he even have a single offer elsewhere?

http://www.k-state.edu/today/announc...o4QQ-c.twitter

Another gift to the university of $60 million. No begging. No crying on TV/radio/message boards about how the state won't finance bonds a paltry 10-15mil to build hotel on campus.

Flagship is gonna flagship...

Nice - ensuring the namesake will stick around on Phase 3.

Jack's doing well I would say.

Christ. What does that dude do for a living?

I haven't paid much attention to any of the bracket stuff. Where does KSU project for the tournament?

just a poor rancher from western Kansas.

Rancher/cattleman at one time. Milling, grain stuff too. President of ADM at one time. Oil and gas I'd reckon too.

Wednesday Loonardi had the Cats on the (blech) 8/9 line. Win that, you face the 1 seed. Gotta win these last three (ISU, BU home, Diet OU road). Maybe move up to 6.

We f'ed.

I'll take the 8/9 seed with a chance to play Hillside High.

Eh... I don't think Bruce could pull that off.

How'd that work for ya last year...?

Bruceketball didn't get a shot at HH last year.

You're right.

It was La Salle...

...

Looked him up. And FFS, Brookville is NOT western Kansas. Hell, its toward the eastern part of Central Kansas. Link. Good for him though, and good for the University.

$60M is a nice chunk of change.

If you guys nab an 8 and they happen to put you in WSU's bracket, I like your chances, depending on officiating. I think you guys can guard VanVleet, who drives the offense, and they're not doing anything with Gipson and DJ Johnson down there. It'd be a tough game, but I could see you guys taking down WSU. Besides, the dumbass WSU fan seems to think that the competition committee cares very deeply about getting WSU a matchup with another Kansas school so it may be you guys.

I wouldn't bet against the Cats against Florida either, Florida hasn't run guys out of the gym and it'd be a tough game, but I think you can hang defensively and be in it at the end.

Syracuse would be a little tougher, but if Spradling (primarily) and the guards hitting 3s and limiting turnovers, I think you can be in it. They aren't terribly efficient offensively either and I think they've been passing well enough in the lane, that if you can get it in the lane good things can happen there.

I have no idea what Arizona is bringing to the table. I know they have a guy that got hurt or some shit.

I mean, playing a #1 in the second round isn't fun, but I don't think it would be an automatic advance against KSU. If KSU can bring defensive intensity, Foster can get into the lane and dish to the big bodies, and limit dumb mistakes, I wouldn't write them out against much of anybody.

That being said, there aren't any soft #1's (except maybe Arizona, I haven't watched them). A 6 would definitely be better. 2 out of 3 at Bramlage definitely helps. Calling those games would be impossible. Every one of those teams is so up and down it's hard to tell WTF you're going to get every night.

I'm hoping the Big 12 can get a lot of teams in and make some hay.

LOL...I know, just repeating the oft-said talking point about how KSU is poor western kansas farmers. He really made his money off ADM stock.

WSU guards would kill our guards IMO. Cats turn the ball over too much to be anything but a 1or 2 and done.

Heh. It's not me hitting that talking point. Even though I actually AM a poor western Kansas farmer, I've been to the nut fry out here. I know better than that.

Meh. It wouldn't be an easy win, but I think you guys match up OK with them. Foster is fast enough to stay in front of Van Vleet. Ron Baker isn't an athletic nightmare, but that kid is ****ing heady. Early and Cotton are really the only two KSU would have to worry about athletically.

Could be wrong, but I wouldn't write you guys off. Dumber shit has happened.

Foster isn't really a great defender. He's kinda poor actually. Nigel Johnson has been playing good D. But WSU is just playing with confidence. Maybe it's a crappy league, sure. But you don't win 30 straight without being really good.

oh yeah, I know YOU don't think that...but a lot of KU fans do.

Oh shut up you sheep humping, animal husbandry-ing, no championship having (except soil judging), court storming, F KU chanting, inferiority complex-ing, DoD'ing, DVD'ing, T-shirt ing taters.

Heh heh.

Don't forget that we are poor and have no traditions of our own. And Jock Jams.

How could I have forgotten Wabash-ing in there? That really seems to fascinate some of the brain injured li'l bro types.

I agree WSU is very good. But I watched a game (can't remember which one) where they made it a point to stop VanVleet and did so with some effectiveness. WSU won, but their offense went from really good to terrible when VanVleet was ineffective. KSU has the athleticism to hold him in check and has a huge (IMO) advantage down low.

It will take KSU playing up to their potential, and they've been inconsistent, but I like KSUs matchup.

I think KSU has played to their potential. Home and road they are two completely different teams. Which is a factor of being young and also because they just aren't that good.

Well, he had interest from Missouri, Nebraska, and some other schools, but they like to try to pick the 4 and 5*'s first, would be my guess. Plus, it sounds like he's EMAW as hell. What helps is that he will enroll early, which, as we have seen, is instrumental in preparing to contribute early.

By all accounts, he was our top target at QB and likely at any position. How often do schools land their number one target?

We got one of the top players in Kansas to stay home...hopefully that's a sign of things to come. I'm sick and tired of losing players to OSU, OU, Nebraska, etc.
