Deep breath, let it out slowly, and trust in Tang

Post by SCKSCat » February 17th, 2024, 11:26 am

So where is Tang’s confidence coming from? Well, he has seen improvement from the Wildcats over the past two weeks. Sure, they didnt’ play well when they lost four straight games, but they showed grit and determination during a home win over rival Kansas. Then they fought back from a huge deficit and only lost by six at BYU.

“I liked the fight and the communication,” Tang said. “There wasn’t a lot of finger pointing. No palms up. It was just next play. I thought we kept fighting. The game plan was that we thought we could wear them down and in the last 10 minutes of the game they would wear down and we would be able to get a run. The guys never lost sight of that and kept plugging away.”

I’m not so sure I would think we would wear them down when our pg plays 39 minutes.

Coach Tang is a great coach, considering his success last year.

He will get some excellent players to come to KSU and the sky will be the limit.

The metal of a team is shown in times of adversity more so than in times of success.

This team is so close, despite some unanticipated problems for this season, and I believe in them and Coach Tang. Go 'Cats!

Much happier with our current coaching staff vs the past. While this season is not what I was expecting I do have faith the future is brighter with Tang than without him leading the program. I'd like to see the younger guys get on the court the remainder of the season.

tang was the right hire for this place at the right time. i give him a pass missing on tomlin and glover as he has this year, two starters. no team recovers from that. look how ku has struggled after losing just one, their starting guard.

Coach Tang is my Basketball Shepard, he is an excellent fit for KSU culturally.

Losing 40% of your starting 5, I am actually surprised how successful we are.

I suffered from thinking Perry was a good ball handler because of his height. Perry is and never was intended to be a point guard. Our turnover issue is a direct reflection of that. Dai Dai is a freshman and he has to develop.

The WORST thing KSU can do is get into a revolving door of Coaches in ANY of our Athletic Programs.
