Good way to put it.

@BShark First shot defense was good. Need to finish the possession with a defensive rebound, though.
True bruh but KSU actually has a size edge on us this year which is weird.
@Crimsonorblue22 said:
@BShark I thought Vick was decent other than missing a huge block out
He was just kind of there imo. 4 pts on 2-7 (0-2), 5 reb 1 ast 2 fouls.
Lucas and Mason are absolute warriors for this program.
Self accurately assessing that Jackson and Bragg going to the bench turned the game to KSU for a bit.
Self praising our first shot defense tonight in the presser.
Football might turn within 5 years too.
I have faith he can manage that.
@globaljaybird said:
@BShark Or a transfer...
I sure hope not, KU will need him next year. It's likely that we only have three guards eligible for the first semester next year and Vick is one of them.
@globaljaybird said:
@BShark Did Vick play 20+ minutes & get only 4 points?? Shit I want Mitch !!
Vick has been bad lately, needs more seasoning. He's probably looking at consistent 25+ mpg next year.
@stoptheflop said:
@BShark But our 10 bench points were critical to this win. I thought Bragg played with great energy
Bragg would have been great tonight if he didn't get nicked.
EFF KU HURR DURR WE OWN THIS STATE BLABLABLA SANDSTORM
@stoptheflop said:
KState only had 2 bench points. We had 10. Bragg 6 and Vick 4
Much like us they really don't have a bench.

Okay.. svi was atrocious on D tonite. And when do we get the man LL back. God I hate to keep harping on the kid.. but when he's proven he can do it.. we need it like never before. Savage Lucas. Come back to us savage Lucas
Lucas's performance is a good barometer for the quality of the opponent's bigs honestly...
@stoptheflop said:
@Blown Many posters still say these guys can't get tired. I see tired players
By the end of game of course Mason and Graham are tired. They play all game. It's the same reason the slack on D at times because D requires energy. Shame we don't have another ball handling guard.
@wrwlumpy said:
State will still be in the tournament. Thanks for being good enough to raise our RPI.
This year? Idk. Field is terrible this year though so maybe.
@truehawk93 said:
Ok, what lame excuse will the media and KSuck use this time? The whole game pretty much went their way. They blew it and they suck. Liberace can't coach any better than he can play the piano.
Enhhhh KSU is close and they have a good young core. They are fairly well coached too they just shot poorly today. Brown/Sneed/Wade/Stokes is a reaaaaal good 4 player group for KSU and they are all SO except Sneed who is FR. Add another post player and guard and they are a tournament team next year.
@DoubleDD said:
Poor Kstate Players. No I really mean it. Now they have to get blamed by their head coach Bruce Weber tell the media how his players didn't listen to him.
Poor kids.
No one throws his kids under the bus like Bruce.
Guys, we made free throws!!!
Also anyone know if Bragg is okay? He was playing well...
Blah. Turning it off for a bit.
Really I think we need to to protect Lucas. I'd like to see it from the jump but I'd bet you are right and Self starts m2m.
@drgnslayr said:
Better not be after our lay down loss on Saturday.
Will Self use zone? I think he has to and it's the key. If it's Wade and DJ against whoever is playing C for KU m2m watch out!
I'd love to be wrong but this seems like an easy KSU win.
Hasn't even visited LOL this staff is on a roll.
4* PG Jamie Lewis visiting for the WVU game.
Gone crootin
Alabama gets 4 stars to grayshirt apparently.
@Texas-Hawk-10 said:
Don't be surprised to see KU land possibly 3, maybe even more recruits out of Louisiana this year. Warren Easton has a couple of 3 star prospects who we know Hull has a relationship with and there's a DE out of Baton Rouge that KU is the favorite to land.
Man...if KU becomes the school for Louisiana talent the sky is the limit.
Jason Hammel will be a Royal.
Not really.
His final 8 was Duke, Kentucky, Baylor, Oklahoma, TCU, Alabama, Wake Forest and Kansas.
I'm predicting a loss.
Dotson's visit went very well as expected per a Matt Scott article. Sounds like they plan to visit again. Read a lot better and more in depth than say the comments about the Duval visit, I'd bet Dotson ends up at KU.
@Texas-Hawk-10 said:
Here's a big factor with Jason and Harris. They were HS teammates of Mike Lee and his success last year along with Hull played huge roles in them committing to KU.
Gives me some hope for them staying too. Gotta keep Hull though...
Jason might end up being a 5 star. Probably not if he sticks with KU though lol.
Also I believe we have a 4 or 5 star LSU commit visiting this weekend this could get really fun/crazy.
There are some 4 stars in this mix. I was on their boards, they are MAD.
Okay I heard about all these football recruits and I had to hop back on. HOLY CRAPBALLS! If and I stress if we hold on to these recruits that would be tremendous. LSU fans are having a mental breakdown.
And with that I'm gonna tap out from all KU boards until Monday have a pleasant weekend and nice Superbowl parties if that's your thing bucketeers.
Oh and on my last post someone might think oh that could happen any team....well yeah it could but I thought for instance the 2010 team was a big time favourite for the NC... So I'm just comparing how I feel about this team to past teams.
@cragarhawk said:
@DCHawker I'm behind this team and I think they can be good. But there has literally not been one total game that made me ever believe they cut down nets. I'll be happy to be proven wrong. But I think if they make the second weekend it'll be gravy
Imo this team has FF ability (if match-ups break right) but I could also see them losing in their 2nd game to Middle Illinois Valley State.
Probably looking at consecutive losses here.
This is a really bad loss.

What the he'll! Ku was up 14 when I went to my kids bday party. 18 freakin made 3s!?! Wtf
Yep lol
woof
I wouldn't mind seeing Burton foul out.
I thought Frank would make that.
