Things have been a bit chippy under the basket for the last few minutes.

JFC Tharpe has that Beetlejuice face going strong.

impactful night for Gipson


LMAO

This was KSU's chance to win the B12 and they wasted it. They could still get a share, but KU and OSU have better shots.

Gip were you trying to foul out there?

Am I hearing "This is our State"?

What were they chanting?

Whatever it was, I'd rather not hear it again.

This is our state
This is our state

Well, of course it our state.

We own K-state. Always have, always will.

Good game boys.

Pretty pasty out there now.

Good to get that over with.

Higgins has been the most hated for quite a while, Hightower was forgiven after his reffing of our national Championship game.

Feels good to win. Real good brah.

Good good great game.

And so it goes....

So that answers the ksu elite talk.

Holly should have asked him about his drinking problem.

DVD? Should we of rushed the court?

In the butt?

I didn't hate him. We won two national championships with him on the floor.

So is that a KU sweep in all home-and-away sports? MBB, WBB, WVB... baseball we'll have to wait on.

Finally gave a full effort and won easily. Funny how that works.

Also funny to think that KSU is ranked ahead of KU right now after that display.

LMAO

Not expecting one in baseball... but it would be nice.

Good game, KSU.

Nice to get back in the win column. RCJH

It's funny taht when we play smart fast physical basketball, getting the ball in the paint, we play likely our best game of the year.


Funny how that works out right?

No kidding. They ought to just put this thing on a 5-year pause to give KSU a chance to save some face. This is pointless playing them.

All except the only one anyone cares about...

:)

Weeeeee :)

The BCS title game drew 26M viewers, and that was with Notre Dame in it. The NCAA hoops game drew 20M.


The ad rate for the BCS title game last year was 750K for 30 seconds. For the mens basketball game it was 1.3M.


Attendance for D1 football was 35M and for D1 basketball it was 33M. PRetend all you want that football is "all that matters".

Not to mention that a majority of schools that have switched conferences are "basketball" schools... Maryland, Syracuse, Pitt, Missouri, etc...

Nice game by the hawks.!

Highlights are on espn front page if interested.

Ass firmly and swiftly kicked, as usual. Just got back from the game. The atmosphere was great, but the game sucked royally for me. It is very typical of many of the games I have seen in Lawrence over the last several years.

Congrats to ku and their fans. We were stripped of our dignity tonight.

This should earn tharpe the starting pg position. I really think that elijah dribbles too high and is too tall to run the point for being such a sloppy passer and dribbler. Its real easy for players to trip him up or to pick the ball off from him while dribbling. Where tharpe is 5-11, and has a real low center of gravity.

I don't think height has much to do with EJ's problems handling the PG position. He's actually a fine size for it. He just lacks vision and passing ability and is too careless with the ball.

It's going to take more than one good game in two months for Tharpe to start over EJ, though I do think he should be playing more minutes (especially in a two guard set) if only to try something else with this group.

If you watch him, he just seems to dribble very high most of the time. Also his little behind the back dribble/360 spin/ turn over move is very annoying.

KU playing dominantly which they really needed. Maybe they will get their groove back. Okie State around the corner fellas, act like you own the court.

Tharpe can look passes off while EJ locks in and telegraphs that shit. Tharpe is quicker than shit, but EJ is a way way better defender when healthy.

EJ with another abortion tonight. 1-6 with 4 turnovers. It's like the guy is a teachers pet, getting this special treatment. Had Ben not gone off, that game might've been in single digits and EJ would've done his best to keep it tight.


After two months of his crap, I'm ready o play Anrio over him. And Self is starting to agree.

EJ should start to heat up around tournament time, keep him fresh until then.

Looked good tonight bit keep in m8nd we still have to play @ISU @OSU @Baylor. The other three best teams in the conference. We cant even beat TCU on the rd. I expect 2 more losses..just hope everyone else keeps losing 2

I really dont. I think losing to osu at home put us in a funk. Think we go on a run til the end of the season. Maybe one loss thrown in but not sure where.

Well, if they win one of those, they probably still win the conference at 13-5 (provided they win the remaining four home games against UT, WVU, TCU, and TTU). Especially if that road win is the OSU game.

UT is getting Kabongo back this week, so that game could be a little more than meets the eye. KU obviously can't afford any more letdowns in focus/confidence at this point if they want to win the B12.

So true. Lately when he does that is almost guaranteed to be a turnover.

Ej is a better defender, no doubt. But I think Tharpe had improved in that area over the course of the season. That may be the main reason why EJ still retains starting pg spot.

:)

it's good to be wrong sometimes

You're cool, always have been.

But that KState Mask guy...

Dont make fun of WilliamtheIrisih, He really tries hard...

Congrats, Beakers. Ya'll clearly had the better team last night.

State fans think they are Missouri fans now or something?

I've said that since I was in high school (many, many moons ago) in reference to KU. I didn't realize it was a Missouri thing on this board.

Seriously, you think that is a muTT fan term of endearment for ku fans? lol, uh no. I graduated from KSU in the 80's, and we were calling you guys that, among many other things.

I realize the need to go back to the Steve Henson days man but really? You guys don't need to whip that out now, do you? I had never heard that from state fans and I have many I went to High School with.

I've just never heard it from state fans man.

Don't know what to tell you. I don't use that term as much anymore. I used to throw it out liberally to my Beaker friends when we were in school, but not so much anymore. My point is, that isn't a term reserved solely for the muTT's to use.

This ia typically what happens when your team plays a big game in any sport

Well, Bowl Games for sure. :deevee:

I don't see the big deal being referred to as a Beaker.

No worries, Bro. I was just explaining myself. Hell, I don't even mean it in a deogatory manner. I was a KU fan for a long time (I've told the story before) and still pull for them as long as they aren't playing K-State.

someone needs to talk kietzman off the ledge haha.... he's some kinda depressed this morning.

Sorry, can't help myself.

I doubt Tharpe shooting 26% over conference play with a poor assist/turnover ratio was helping his chances much either. If he plays like he did yesterday, though, they'll just have to live with his defense.

His defense seemed better than Johnsons yesterday.(not counting the and one of course)

He played defense decently against OU, I thought. Forced a big five second count.

It's because he's not good. He does bring some energy and makes some good plays, but yeah. Like you with Spradling, I wish we had someone better.

Yeah. The energy was nice to see. About ****ing time. Hopefully they will realize that it takes confidence and intensity to win consistently and mother****ing TCU will get you if you don't.

On the ranking thing, it's so ****ed up it isn't funny. KSU being above us isn't nearly as egregious as Indiana at 1 and Puke at 2.

Kevin Young is a damn good college player.

LMAO

As am I.

His efficiency stats across the board are identical to Withey outside of blocks.

His smile is second to none though.

He brushes his teeth at least 7 times a day.
