Re: Reflections

REFLECTIONS After a season of watching of watching Coach Tang and his team, I think it's time for reflection and some soul searching. Coach insists that this is all about improving ourselves in this game we call life. Therefore, this season's disappointment is a prime opportunity for growth. 1. It ...

Re: nit thread

This loss, which was the final nail in the coffin of a failed season, was not about their guy making shots and our guy not making shots. That's a ridiculous and false assessment of this basketball game, and a feeble excuse for losing this game. Their guy made shots because he was wide open and basi...

Re: nit thread

KSU could have executed plays better and played a more complete game with less turn overs, shooting FTs better, etc. Yes - missed opportunities. But as mentioned during the game - Iowa had their sharp shooter that was "on" tonight, and KSU's sharp shooter wasn't. It's just that simple. Perry was 2-...

Re: Portal 2024

So today is the first day of the 2024 basketball transfer portal opening. I read that before noon today there were already 125 players in the portal. I assume that at least some of these players' current team is in the NCAA Tourney or the NIT. If that's the case, can or will they still play for the...

Re: Portal 2024

Regarding the portal. We are in competition with over 300 schools to keep our good players and to sign good players. We are going to miss on a lot more than we hit on. Playing time, NIL, development and ability to sell the program are all factors. None of us have any clue how it will all shake out. ...

Re: Crazy faith, Tang’s strong arguments why K State should be in the NCAA Tournament

Probably 2 more wins. Say we reversed the result of the OU game and we would be 9-9 in B12 play, just like OU finished and OU didn't get in. https://big12sports.com/standings.aspx?path=mbball No OU was 8-10 in conference. The at TT game which we had a lead in last 2 minutes and blew I am sure the P...

Re: other schools' coaching news and stuff ...

Iow State is really physical and commits some fouls by getting their body on opponents in double teams. But IMO they are doing two things better than other teams. 1. They stay in front of their man and do not get beat one on one. So other teams have to ball screen to get an opening. Then they set ha...

Re: other schools' coaching news and stuff ...

Basketball is a strange, strange game. The best can look like chumps, not champs in one game. Play ISU again and the score might reverse. Just goes to show that when a team gets full of self importance, the Basketball Gods have a way of humbling you -- on national TV. I’m not sure anyone got full o...

Re: let's start a thread about past players ...

Davion - Kansas State, Wake Forest (?), New Mexico and next stop. Selton - I saw Selton Miguel playing in the South Florida vs. East Carolina game today. He scored a lot of points (17) but he took a lot of shots (13) to get them. He played 24 minutes. Three for nine on three point shots. He won six...

Re: Crazy faith, Tang’s strong arguments why K State should be in the NCAA Tournament

Coach of Kansas State made a good pitch on why Kstate should be in the tourney. Did such a good job, I made a glass half empty relative listen to it. Debate should be on the merits of Tangs arguments. I can not understand why anybody would question his motives as they are numerous and quite obvious.
